Not my best work but only had an hour

Great day by all

Good day by all chuffed with my gold medal match finished with a standing guillotine.

Some sample artwork for new designs.

Message if interested and I’ll get them made up.

Been Logo creating as well lately and here’s one that’s in circulation.

Always remember folks, when training in Martial Arts there will always be Criticism of your technique and the usual ‘That wouldn’t work on the street’ comments.

These should never be dismissed as just people being haters. Not saying that they’re not haters, just saying that it maybe a valid point.

If someone is pointing out flaws in your work, use it to grow and be better. The best way to find out if they’re right is to test it, Test it and guess what test it again. Glove up if you have to in order to prevent injuries.

You hear people say things like ‘if you can’t do it slow you can’t do it fast’ well if you never practice fast you’ll only ever be able to do it slow. Never neglect aspects of your training.

DRILL SLOW
SPAR FAST
BECOME A BEAST!
👍🤟✊🐉

Sometimes you get slumps in your training, but that just makes the good days even better.

Got some great original designs coming up looking forward to getting them in.
