As of tomorrow, the 25th of June there are 3 new Strength classes added to the timetable. **These classes will be on Mondays and Wednesdays at 6 o’clock and Saturdays at 11 o’clock** We are getting more athletes heavily involved in other sports and a program based around general fitness...
This post is probably a few days late but I have been running around like a headless chicken cleaning the gym, writing up diet plans and getting classes and sessions set for the coming weeks. Firstly I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone that has brought friends down, to the new folks that...
A few of you may have noticed something funny going on since I got back from Sweden. Instead of picking a weight and just hammering it out for 3 or 5 reps I have now decided to throw a spanner in the works and make things a little more complex. Not only do I have the number of sets written on...
I just want to touch on the topic of hand care. I uploaded a video a while back but to be honest, at the time, the information may have been a little over everyone’s heads and talked about problems that most of us had yet to encounter. Well, congratulations – progress has been well and truly m...

I have been in this game for 8 years now and sure as night follows day, slacking follows December the 1st. Unlike most, I don’t suffer...
Its no secret at this stage that my passion is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (it was Football in a previous life) and I am lucky to train and be involved with one of the best teams in the country, Team Ryano. This has also given me the opportunity in the past couple of years to work with some established and...
Here is an old article from the Combat Workshop site, and something worth looking back on as more new people are training at the gym and it is good for the regular gang to touch base with the fundamentals and remind us why we do what we do… I also must have been a bit angry the day I wrote it!...
