So this is what I’m talking about when I’m talking about integrated. On Monday we had our first “official” day of training in the new gym. This meant that upstairs, I was taking a BJJ class, downstairs, Paddy was taking a Muay Thai class, and on the gym floor, Will was strength testing another group … Continue reading

I haven't been doing nothing you know
