hey idiots! The Dublin BJJ Open Entry Form is HERE!!! My own training has been curtailed by a bit of a cold this week but training continues apace elsewhere. This week in BJJ the emphasis has been on top position, particularly modified scarf hold and some variations on that theme. Everyone loves top game, so … Continue reading
I have a headcold and a sore leg. The headcold I got from my son and my sore leg I got from a car. Yup, I got hit by a car while cycling to work on friday, and if the rest of my weekend wasn’t really good, I’d feel pretty shit right now. Luckily it … Continue reading
I arrive to you motivated to write something about something other than my own training for the first time in quite a while. I got to thinking last week, and when that happens, usually bad things follow. What I got to thinking was about the “why” of training for people. I don’t make a habit … Continue reading
I had one of those days today where nothing seemed to go right. I started this morning with my arse dragging along the round into the gym and things didn’t improve as the day went on. I’m tired and off to bed in a moment, but I’ll update the last couple of day’s training first. … Continue reading
Just sharing this with everyone if you haven’t seen it before: http://www.aesopian.com/ A really good website/blog that has just about everything. Most technique sites just have vids but this one has some good articles, tips and hints for beginners to advanced guys.

This is bad for a couple of reasons. Number 1, you don’t get to train, this is filed under … Continue reading
I have a few things I want to achieve athletically and coachingly (it’s a word, possibly) in the next few months, and I’m just starting to push the buttons on a few things I need to have happen before I can achieve them. It’s time to begin my preperation for my next fight which will … Continue reading
This week I’ve had my mind blown from rolling with Rafael and Guilherme Mendes. As I said the week before the seminars, if you train BJJ don’t know who these guys are, then google them and the next time you’re talking to me, pretend like you knew all along. Put simply, this was another level, let me … Continue reading
Here’s the 2010 system of coaching. You may notice that it is very much based on the 2009 system, which itself was modelled closely on the 2008, but these things are mere coincidences. Firstly, the whiteboard at the bottom of the stairs is your friend. It’s also my friend. I’m not sure it has any … Continue reading
