It is usually the white belt battles where a rock with a lack of skill/technique meets and immovable object, also with a lack of skill/technique that make me sore. I love rolling with higher belts. Yeah they pound me, but I still feel more in control to actually try certain techniques. I am...

It was a stupid injury really. He was doing some Muay Thai sparring as he had been offered and MMA fight. Really light technical sparring with the coaches son. Other kid caught Haakons left leg after a round kick. Haakon tried to twist out of the catch by turning to his right and you try and...

Speaking of Martial Arts. I don’t think I mentioned it here, but Haakon fubar’d his knee again on the 20th March. It required surgery again. He went in 3 weeks ago and had successful surgery to his right knee. Seems to be recovering well but still got another 3 weeks on crutches before the...

Haha. I have known Jompoo (the guy who posted the clip) for around 20 years. He runs a gym in Leeds and my mate is married to his sister and runs Kiatphontip Bangkok. We trained there in 2018. Jompop first came to the UK and for 13 month he worked at Keddles Gym in Orpington. We used to...

Some great fights. I didn’t get to watch it live but looked pretty good from the highlights I watched this morning.

Nice one Rich. Keep at it mate. Today was a good day. Haakon and a few team mates competed at the Ippon Cup BJJ comp. The Ippon cup is o e of the oldest Judo competition in Norway and few years ago they introduced BJJ. Great tournament and setup. Haakon had 5 in his group so they did a...

Did you see the state of his leg afterwards. Takeru is a tough Mo-Fo, I think he thought he could just punch his way to victory and didn’t take the leg kicks seriously. Complete warrior but more fool him. Fractured knee cap and an extremely tenderised quad.

Also, proud as I am, best not to get carried away as he is still only a white belt. But as you can see from the graphic above, there are time period at a belt rank that should be fulfilled before promotion to the next rank. As they say, you can only beat the competition that is put in front of...

Because the categories are made up from participants in Age, Rank (belt) and weight. So Haakon was bumped up a category from 65kg to -69kg for Juvenile boys (16 year old). Juniors have a belt ranking system with stripes and then colours. Juveniles and adults don’t/shouldn’t need the...

Interesting day at the BJJ tournament yesterday. Haakon had 8 in his group as he was bumped up a weight class. First fight he choked the kid out with a cross collar choke from guard. Just under a minute. Onto the semi’s. Up against the kid he tapped a couple of weeks ago who developed a...

Thanks. I wish I could upload the first fight here as it was pretty impressive from a technical standpoint.

That is exactly the result he and I wanted. He went into the matches with the mindset that it was a hard spar, if he won he won, if he lost he lost. He has tried to tailor his game to avoid certain pressures on his knee. To get the win(s) in such a dominating fashion was a bonus. In fact an...

Haakon stepped up to the mark today in his first competition since recovering from knee surgery. He beat a very confident Chechnyan wrestler in the first match. Tapped him out via straight foot lock after just over a minute. He went in to the final and beat another kid with shoulder pressure...

We have to pay for PPV here. I generally just watched the dodgy feed the morning after 🤪

I watched that. Did you see the Hector Lombard fight? He hit the guy at the base of the skull a few times and then the guy tapped. Poor guy had to be stretchered out of the ring in a spinal board and then Hector and his team were disgruntled at the disqualification. The commentary team...

But more importantly, England now has a HW UFC champ. Aspinal is a great fighter, but to beat the KO artistby inocking him out in 69 seconds? Not many saw that. I genuinely believe he will have a great chance at beating JBJ.

Here is the Buakaw and Sanchai fight. It is a complete mismatch and is a good demonstration to the people who have been suggesting shit like this for years. They are both legends but casuals have always suggested and questioned what the outcome would be. Sanchai fought most of his career in...
