Check Out Thursday's Class! Check Out a Class From Thursday! This week, Simon took the Fight Fortress troops through some Krav Maga & Kickboxing pad drills.

An Everyday Warrior. From a very young age, I realised my father was not a man of honour. If God sent me an angel in my wife Julie, he most certainly sent me a devil for a dad. I was just six years of age when I saw my first "heavy", a mountain of a man, sent to our house to recover a debt my father owed.

I've never kept my alcohol abuse a secret. It isn't something I am particularly ashamed of, not something to feel proud about, but my withdrawal was a desperate attempt to rid myself of hangovers, falls, arguments and ultimately the man who caused me to drink so much in the first place; my father.

Drains, a Life of Adversity. I was three years old, I had been lost in the woods and, in a separate incident, fallen down a drain where I remained for quite some time before being found and rescued by neighbouring housewives searching for me.
