Great work from these boys at our Friday session!✅

Demonstrating their technique through some shadow sparring rounds.🥊

Shadow sparring is a core component of being a good martial artist.🥋

It teaches you how to control your body movement and prevent you from overextending.🧠

It’s also a good way to build your cardio and warm your body up for a session.🦾

The part of making content you don’t normally see… 😂

Lost my train of thought multiple times.

Forgot what I was talking about.

The phone I was reading my notes from died halfway through.

And at one point I genuinely had to question whether I was having a stroke. 🥲

Turns out talking to a camera is significantly harder than coaching people. 😂

Several attempts, a few questionable sentences and what felt like a complete loss of brain function later…

We got there in the end. 🥊🎥

Enjoy the outtakes. 😂

Another car park fight review. 🥊

First mistake…

Running straight towards someone with your chin completely exposed.

Unfortunately, he finds out very quickly why that’s a bad idea. 😬

But the more important lesson comes afterwards.

He gets back to his feet despite his legs barely working and still wants to carry on.

At that point, your body is telling you something your ego doesn’t want to hear.

Thankfully, the people around him encourage him to stop.

There’s a time to stand your ground.

There’s also a time to recognise when it’s over and walk away. 👊

Knowing the difference can save you from making a bad situation considerably worse.

As always, these reviews aren’t about encouraging street fighting. They’re about looking at real situations and seeing what we can learn from them.

Ranking the different types of sparring partners you’ll find in the gym. 🥊😂

We’ve all trained with them…

The experienced fighter who gives you exactly the round you need. 👌

The coach who lets you think you’re doing well before exposing every mistake you make.

The 14 year old child prodigy who makes you reconsider the last 10 years of your life. 🥲

The lovely middle aged father of 3 who turns into Francis Ngannou the second the gloves go on.

And of course…

The ego sparrer who thinks every Tuesday night is a world title fight. 🏆😂

They can all teach you something, but some definitely make better training partners than others.

My rankings are in the video…

What’s your S-tier sparring partner? 👇🥊

It’s easy to put the work in when everything feels good. 👊

When you’re motivated.
When you’re full of energy.
When training is going well.

But you won’t always get those days.

Sometimes you’re tired.
Sometimes you’re frustrated.
Sometimes your head just isn’t in it.

Those are the days that test you.

You can’t control whether everything goes your way.

You can control how you respond when it doesn’t. 🧠

Turn up.
Do the work.
Find a way forward.

That’s discipline. 📈

Why do beginners gas out so quickly in martial arts? 🥊

It’s not always because they’re unfit.

Your body is working hard while your brain is simultaneously trying to process distance, movement, incoming shots, what you’re going to throw back and everything else happening around you.

So you tense up.

You hold your breath.

You waste energy.

And suddenly a couple of minutes feels like a lifetime. 😂

Learning to stay relaxed and manage that pressure takes time and experience.

Eventually you learn when to tense, when to relax, when to explode and when to recover.

In my opinion, there’s no other sport that quite replicates the physical and mental pressure of combat sports at the same time.

And I think that’s exactly why so many of us become addicted to it.

You can’t replicate that feeling anywhere else. 👊

If this looks like something you’d like to experience for yourself

Sometimes after a long day of coaching, you just want an easy session. 😂

No one forgetting the combination.

No one throwing a completely different shot to the one you called.

No one trying to kill the pads when you said “nice and light”.

No one asking “what are we doing again?” 4 seconds after you explained it.

Just me.

Feeding pads to nobody.
Holding the bag for nobody.
Watching absolutely nothing.

And for once…

Everything is going exactly as planned. 😌🥊

Sometimes the perfect client is no client at all. 😂

31/08/2026

If you could only learn 3 punches, which ones should they be? 🥊

For me, it’s simple.

The jab.
The cross.
The lead hook.

Three short, snappy and effective punches that each serve a different purpose.

They give you the foundations to manage distance, attack in straight lines and create different angles with your shots. 👊

And the best part?

Put all three together and you’ve got one of the most fundamental combinations in striking.

You don’t need 100 different techniques.

You need a few that work, and you need to get very good at them. 📈

If this is the type of coaching you’re looking for

I’ve been slacking lately.

Training hasn’t been as consistent as it should be.

Content hasn’t been going out as regularly as it should either.

And I think it’s important to acknowledge that.

Even as a coach, sometimes life gets busy, motivation drops and you take your foot off the gas.

The important part is recognising when it’s happening and doing something about it. 👊

You don’t need to wait for Monday.
You don’t need a new month.
You don’t need to suddenly feel motivated again.

Sometimes you just need to tell yourself…

Get back to fu***ng work. 🦾

So that’s exactly what I’m doing. 📈

10/08/2026

The final minutes of a conditioning session. ⏳

That’s when the fatigue sets in.
Your muscles start to ache.
And your body starts telling you it’s time to quit.

That’s when the mind has to take over. 🧠

Keep pushing.
Keep working.
Finish what you started. 👊

Because if it was easy to achieve, it probably wouldn’t be worth achieving. 🦾
