Between one thing and another, of the last 8 opponents I’ve had fixed for fighters from my gym, 7 have dropped out and left my fighter in the lurch. I’m going to tell tales out of school now, why not? Fighter X is first. He agreed to a fight with one of my guys on … Continue reading
Some days of not too much training to catch up on. It’s Thursday and basically I haven’t done a damn thing all week thanks to my hand. It was fine until rolling on Monday night when I tweaked it a little and now it’s quite sore, sore enough to keep me out of BJJ last … Continue reading
It’s time to start getting excited. We have someone visiting from Hungary to get to train with these guys. Seriously, a man called Peter is flying from Hungary, staying in a hotel here and doing our seminars with the Mendes brothers. That’s dedication. Be sure to shake his hand when you see him. If you … Continue reading

Today was a light day filled with tiredness, ass dragging, wrestling, trying to stay awake, and fitting shelves. That list is not in order. I have to warn you that if you want to read on about my training, you should skip the next, very long, paragraph. I’ve been accused of being perspicacious in the … Continue reading
But it’s okay, I’ve replaced him
Last night actually wasn’t less than what I expected, it was more. That title is just a witty line. The BJJ session last night was actually excellent, a real 5 star session. All in all we did 9×5 minute rounds with 1 minute rest in between and a small technique break in the middle. My … Continue reading
I just can’t wait to roll tonight. There were 21 folks at BJJ on Monday and if only 50% of those turn up for tonight’s class then there will be 10.5 people to roll with, which is more than enough for me. I’ll probably warm up by rolling with the half person and then move … Continue reading
Just cooking a nice supper and I have about 5 minutes while the oven is heatng, so I thought I’d update on my training this morning. I didn’t do much.
