The rather unpleasant position you see the floored gentleman in was what we took some time to focus on: you’re on the ground and somebody decides to take that as an opportunity to do some serious damage to you by enlisting the help of … More Training Notes – 29.05.2015
This week we worked with some gruelling stuff – a real challenge to condition ourselves with. Heart rates and spirits were high, and the atmosphere was – as always – incredible.

We’ll all miss the old place – it was the focal point of the local community in many ways, and many of us have trained there for years – but we were … More Training Notes – Endon – 06.03.2015

We really got that particular kind of atmosphere this week that you … More Training Notes – 27.02.2015

I had, as ever, an incredible time training with you all on Friday! Hope you’re all having an awesome weekend. Here’s this week’s notes on the training we did. Anything can become a training tool – even balloons! Training game 1 was team keepy-uppy with balloons. More and more of them! Every time one touches … More Training Notes – 06.02.2015
