Days With Giants At Fight Fortress. We have been extremely lucky to have some of the greats in the Martial Arts and Fighting World grace us with their presence at Fight Fortress here in North Wales. The short talk above tells the stories of when Geoff Thompson, Peter Consterdine and Alfie Lewis all, at one time or another, took to our mats. These truly were Days With Giants.

Don't lose sight of why you started to learn Martial Arts. Remember Why You Started Martial Arts. Along the way, we can lose sight of the reasons why most of us originally took up Martial Arts. This short talk by Simon explores those reasons.

Simon Morrell's Fitness Pyramid. If you want to get fit to fight, truly fit, then there are five fitness levels that need to be addressed.

For Anyone Who Has Ever Been Bullied. My misery at the hands of bullies was becoming too big for me. My pain, both physically and mentally, was becoming uncontrollable. Panic attacks were my daily diet, sleepless nights almost a ritual. Something had to give. Eventually, I started doing things that frightened me outside of the bullying environment. Things that frightened me, but things I knew would eventually lead me to the path of confidence. It worked, and the more confiden

Barrel Carriers or Teamakers? Last week, I was teaching a class and explaining about Barrel Carriers and Teamakers. It was about an incident that occurred in a local pub where Julie and I were enjoying our usual date night. Just the two of us, cold drinks and a meal.
