The Lion Has Returned!

My BJJ teacher Leo Negao is back in the UK!

Classes will start in Jan 09, also we will be setting up training groups around the UK.

Iron Wolves fight again

Iron Wolves Team member Paul Doherty entered his first Amateur MMA event this weekend!

Other Team member Brad had his first fight at this event last time out and had a very good draw where he showed his new gained skills.

This time it was Pauls time and he did an excellent job! One win and one draw. Paul's stand up skills really showed his structure power.

Paul has been training hard and the Team effort for this event showed.

We are very proud to have new Team members Paul, Brad and Dimitry, they are nice guys with no egos and have a very good Team spirit.

The hard work paid off! Well done!!!

Building strong groups

Alan Orr with Duane Harpers group in Kieghley after a great seminar.



I taught another seminar for my student Duane Harper and his group. Also my senior student and friend Alex Wright came down as well. Alex also as a strong group of guys up in Newcastle.

Leigh Carr from Devon made it to the training. Leigh has started teaching now and will do very well.

Another branch school instructor Shaun Scales from Rotherham also attended. Shaun is now the Director of our CAAS MMA Kids Programme for the UK. Shaun plays an important role within our group.


The guys where all excellent! They worked hard and have all continued to grow.

Its nice to see that we have a good core group of instructors within the assocation. The branch schools are showing good standards!

Next seminar is 29th Nov!

Certified Kettlebell Trainer

I just got back from two days of Kettlebell Instructor training with my good friend Steve Cotter and new friend Ken Blackburn.

I am now a Certified Kettlebell Trainer in the International Kettlebell and Fitness Federation.

We all had a great weekend I am already looking forward to next time!


Ken Blackburn - Alan Orr - Steve Cotter

Steve in action with two 32 kg bad boys! I am always in shock when I watch Steve lift. He can lift of reps all day and control crazy size weights with no problem. Functional strength as it should be!

Ken in action - Ken is also one of the top American kettlebell competitors and currently holds the American record in the jerk and is the 2007 World Champion in the Chair Press!

You could not train with better guys!

Workshop

I taught a workshop for Duane and his guys last week.

My brother in arms Alex Wright also came down from Newcastle.

Duane is buliding a group of really good guys.

I look forward to the next one and meeting the rest of his group.
