I’m at home with this so called swine flu, which isn’t pleasant. Luckily I have two amusing children and lots of work to be getting on with, so I’m luckier than most. I’m rarely sick enough to miss work but in the last three weeks I’ve had a vomiting bug and now this pig cold, … Continue reading
I came back to BJJ last night. I rolled with 5 lads and none of them damaged my back. Result! I’ll just have to keep on top of the rehab/prehab and hopefully I’ll make my competitive return in the BJJ Open on November 22nd. My little fight brother Paddy steps into the ring again tomorrow … Continue reading
I’m busier than plaid underpants right now, so there hasn’t been too much time to post and do all those lovely videos I’ve been promising to do. On the upside, the stuff that’s keeping me busy is really exciting, so it’s hard to moan about the lack of time. I’ve either had swine flu or … Continue reading
Hey all, I had a major rant in the gym on Thursday and it’s probably quite fortunate that not a lot of people were there to hear it. Anyway, instead of banging my head against a brick wall as I usually do, I’ve come up with the following challenge to everyone who I train. Get … Continue reading
I can’t remember the last time I was in bed at 5pm, but yesterday, I was that soldier. A small part of me considered ringing one of the boys to go get Robert from his hotel and bring him to the seminar, but I just manned up a bit and dragged myself out, took 2 … Continue reading
I’ve been getting great feedback from everyone about Robert’s seminar last night. I’m going to try to remember everything now, ordinarily I like to take notes during a seminar but I forgot to last night. Maybe someone can fill in some of the blanks in my memory? If you add a comment, I’ll edit the … Continue reading
I’m just about getting around to doing some of the videos I’ve been threatening to do for quite a while. Things have been pretty busy, and myself and Will were discussing the website, the content and all that stuff we really care about and we’ve decided that we’re going to revamp the whole deal from … Continue reading
I get quite a few questions and comments on warm ups. Some pertain to session warm ups and some to competition warm ups. I’ll try to deal with my take on both of them in this mail. Firstly, most people aren’t warming up effectively. I don’t need to quote the many studies there are, but … Continue reading
We had the first TUF challenge in the gym last night, and I’m confident that it will be the first of many such nights. It was a geat success for all involved whether you were a coach, spectator or fighter. The rules and safety equipment meant that all of the guys came out (more or … Continue reading
That title is a linguistic joke. Get it? Yeah all that aside this is a post about my back injury and my prehab/rehab routine that I’m currently doing. I don’t have any video or photos right now but I’ll try to get some tonight and add the content later. The reason I’m not waiting until … Continue reading
