February has been a great month. As the weather’s become warmer and drier, my own training has become a lot more pleasant, I can tell you! No longer do the flagstones numb my hands when I’m doing ground mobility and bodyweight exercises, which is nice! It’s funny how the punchbag is noticeably softer, even with … More Training Log–February 2013
As you all know by now, the CSPS is an evolutionary concept and I pretty much apply that philosophy to everything I do, including my writing. At least, that’s the excuse I’m going to use for my complete and utter laziness of late with these training logs. As the year has become busier and busier … More Training Log–January 2013

Last Friday, we got down to some padwork getting some awesome effort out of the students we had. Only three … More PHDefence Training Log–18.01.2013
This is a belated post, I do apologise. PHDefence training logs likely will be often as training is 19:00-21:00, I always remain available for questions and general chat afterwards and the venue for them is a chapel so there’s a load of chairs to put back in rows afterwards in the hall they use. As … More PHDefence Training Log–04.01.2012
Over 2012 I didn’t publish very many posts, out of a mix of laziness and busyness. I intend to make up for this by returning to the act of publishing these little training logs. For me, it’s a useful way to see how things grow and progress over time. For my students it’s a useful … More CSPS Training Log–PT Session 04.01.2013
