Sounds great to me. Im not sure what is happening in my life at the moment, but I hope to compete. At the very least I would like to be there to support.
Sorry I couldnt make it for the film or to the last couple of training sessions, been work hard. Will be there this week though.
This msg is for James and Sarit, I asked ben about my pocket watch and he said he doesnt know anything about it. So if you guys could have a look and see if you have it, that would be marvelous.
Considering the fact that it's a pimp and has just ripped apart his shirt to get to him it was probably a good idea to stop him from getting closer.
Also we don't have the audio of what the pimp said to him.
I will get straight to the point. As you may know that its mine, Leo and Helens birthday is coming up on the 29th and a group of us are going to Regents Park on the 30th (this saturday)for joint birthday picnic/drinks. We would like you to come.

Hey guys, Fred who went back to Sweden (some of you will remember he trained with us a little over xmas) has sent me a vid of his new idol! check it out its amazing...
Hey Guys here are the details for those who wanna come along to the competition, either to enter a friendly spar or support the crew and spectate.
Sat 13th June
9.30pm(weigh in)
4.00pm Semi contact Kickboxing/Jujitsu Finishes
5.30pm - You can stay on to watch the title fights of the full contact.
We will be going down in cars, Will and I have already volunteered and we can all just split the petrol. Comps are always very early starts, I see it a good way to test warrior spirit ;). The simplest way of doing this is meeting at the club and leaving at 7am Sharp. Please aim for a little earlier as we will have to go without you otherwise if your late.
Journey is just over 2 hours but dont want to be rushing for weigh in. I have put a map below (click view larger map link)
Address is
Wolverhampton University
Walsall Campus, Gorway Road,
Walsall. West Midlands WS1 3BD
£5 for Spectators and £10 for Fighters
Give me a call anytime with questions (eg rules kit etc). The event we are entering is easy going so nothing to worry about, can bring your kit along and decide if you want to compete or be a spectator on the day, so I recommend anyone coming brings their kit, as im sure youll be wishing you could jump in when you get there!
Last thing, training this friday will be short and sweet and will finish early so we get some good rest. Try to be on time at 8 and will aim to finish up at 9.
Okay well they were full but i found one just down the room for 35 pound twin and 40 pound twin with onsuit. They sounded like they had enough rooms for everyone

Tony and James' Birthday celebration this weekend...
Hi all, Tony and I are having a joint bday this weekend and would be happy if you fancied coming along. Details are not complete yet but just wanted to give notice early. We are aiming for saturday chill out in a park (maybe near my new house with sandra) but we will sort this out and try to get the details out tomo. Be good if some of you could make it, speak soon! J
PS sorry ben thought no one was after edit after i put out the full versions, all my spare time has gone into getting the house but will start on that again in a couple of weeks and finish it when all calms down. hope all is good out there!
Cheers for comp link Mike will talk to you about that next training sesh.
So to follow up bday details, we have decided to go ahead to the Ruislip Lido at 1pm this coming saturday. There is a nice bar by the lake where we can get a roast dinner and there is also grass and man-made beach for playing some frizbee and ball games. Fingers crossed on the weather, and in the evening we will probabaly head off for some ten pin bowling and pool, and feel to drop in and leave if and when you can make it.
I believe if you are not driving the best tube station is Ruislip on Metropolitan and Piccidilly lines and then a walk or bus ride from there. I have put a couple of pics and a map on a hidden page on my other website:

Look forward to seeing whoever can make it, and partners etc welcome (just let know so we have an idea of numbers).
Just watching some vids of our fights and was really missing it. I went to gymnastics for the first time and it was great fun and one hell of a work out. I have never ached that much for a whole 5 days. I did the old nearly throwing up trick.
I did a back flip tony buuut it was on like a wedge shape pad so it was kinda cheating. It really is a lot easier than the front one.
I think I will need to go to physiotherapy for my hip I can still feel the **** thing sometimes.
I have like zero time for the next month or so it looks like I won't have time to do any fighting or jumping around for a while. I went on set for Sucker Punch but am so busy that someone else had to go in my place the last few times.
anywho peace out mo fo's
p.s. ski season just started here so i think i will spend any spare time i do have snowboarding.
oooo new website. Very Nice. I want to see a new vid of how you guys have got on. I am going to take my OMA badge with me on the mountains and get some more around the world pics. I really need a couple more badges to attached to bags etc..
Hey Ben, its still a work in progress but glad you like it! As for the comp vid promise I havent forgotten, have a list of more urgent things waiting in line before it thats all. If you email me your home address by using the email address on here I can get some extra badges out to you. For anyone interested they are £2.50 each and should go on any plain black clothes bags etc. Hope your still having fun out there and look forward to the new photos, J
yeah would be nice to have a festive get together or night out? I am away from training until after christmas now with one thing or another so hopefully we can arrange something sometime?
I have been so slack for a long time, sorry.
or maybe for new year, I might be having a fancy dress house party at mine for new year so if anyone is interested let me know. Details to follow.
Remember we went to that Seni Expo? Well I don't think I ever posted the vid of the dudes flash kicking. Well here it is )I just completely forgot i uploaded it)
Hope everyone is well.
I'm living in Innsbruck now and started training at a small underground mma gym.
Looks good so far and feels good to be training again.
Here's a small video of them:
James has just called me to say that he's unexpectedly having to rush off to take care of some family matters this weekend, so unfortunately training is *off* tonight! (Just in case you were actually planning to come.) Sorry for the late notice and Happy New Year.
Merry chrimbo & Happy New year to you all. Hope you all had a good one and I look forward seeing you all in the coming sessions. Especially as I seem to have missed alot of you at training one way or the other.
That guy had like no guard at all!
I went to a brazilian jujitsu class on saturday and the guys are really cool. They are all really really good but just friends practising and they do a small amount of stand up (which i beat them at :)) I want to do more kicking but my hip still hurts though so I am going to go to psychotherapy
Hehe to Mike, he was just trying to do a reverse turning but fell, technically its not allowed if he touches floor first but here seems to land it first. Touching floor is seen as an 'unbalance' and will lose him points after first warning.
To Ben, nice to hear doing BJJ, yeah go check hip out, although do you mean a physiotherapist? :)
OMG I have SOOOO much respect for this woman!! But you guys are gonna need to have some sort of surgery to do this kick, no? Yeah yeah, I know I'm an expert at the Eating Pizza Kick but what the hell )
Nope training is now ususally on the first 3 fridays of each month, so this month is one of the rare double fridays off...
Also while I am writing, a note to all those interested in the comp at the club and werent there last session, I am afraid I will need to push it to July now as I have to leave the country towards end of June
Hey guys an update for those who weren't there last session...
Following on from the last post I did I am out of the country this coming Friday the 21st, so will need to swap the class over to the 28th. Sorry for the inconvenience I don't have a choice!
Its been a long time since I have been on here, had to take a few months off to have my little son :). Things are still hectic but want to try to get back into the ninja swing at least a little.
Andy at the gym tells me that the school over xmas has been completely refurbished so I look forward to seeing it. Also with more responsibility at work now Fridays are close to impossible, so we have decided to trial a once a month fight club session on Sunday mornings.
This will be the 2nd Sunday of each month, from 10am till 11.45am. It will be more based on sparring and technique and I will leave conditioning for you guys to work on at the gym etc, I simply do not have any spare time for more than once a month at the mo.
So next class will be next week Sunday the 9th Feb, I look forward to seeing those who can make it :)
