Summer Camp 2008

Summer Camp Group 2008


This years Summer Camp was a great success. 3 Days of mayhem.

We where lucky this year to also have Guro Mark Wiley and Pete Irving teaching at the camp.

I covered Wing Chun first and second form details. Also Sparring and clinch control drills.

Rounds of sparring and kettlebells where also added for the conditioning phase! Nice.

Guro Wiley taught single Stick and knife applications on day one and sword and dagger on day two.

Pete drilled Guard passes, head and arm finishes and single leg takedown defences.

I was very happy with the level of positive work rate from the group and the team spirit our school is know for.

All in all an excellent camp!

Well, not for a few seconds anyway.

Pete Irving -Fighting on July 13th - Strike & Submit

My good friend and training partner Pete Irving will be fighting on Sunday 13th July at Strike and Submit for the European Welterweight Title.

I will be in his conner and will give you an update after the fight.

Pete is as tough as they come and a die hard MMA fighter. His opponent is also a tough SOB.

Looks like it will be a war.
