Real fighting?

A lot of guys say they train for the street defence. So that is why they can be so unfit! They will say that MMA is only a sport and not real. Sure on the street you have martial tools not allowed in the ring. But most of these guys train in a way that nobody fights in!

Just have someone throw some hard punches and kicks at you.

Looks real to me!


If they cultivate the arts wrongly, they get conceited about their knowledge, looking down on others around them. Spouting high-flown but untrue theories, they mislead the youth and spoil their dispostitions.

Hard work for some!

I brought my student Duane with me to the UFC event and told him it was nothing but hard work. Well maybe not all hard work.

BJ Penn is back to his best!

BJ Penn was back to his best in UFC 80 in Newcastle. He show cased a master class of BJJ skills in his fight with the game Joe Stevenson to win the World Lightweight Championship bout.

When BJ is on his game he looks in a different league. He was in great shape and very focused.

A class act!

The Mind of the Sword

Train hard and well this year!

Your Mind should be like this fine sword, well tempered, strong, sharpe and life giving!

Why life giving and not taking? The strength of the warroir is in his compassion.

Look after your Sword.

Hi Guys

The web as a lot of forums for everyone to use. So I have decided to take down my forum and run a new blog instead.

You can still email me direct.
