The Brady Bunch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Have to say, I wasn’t that chuffed about parting with \u00a340 to enter the competition, but I’m really glad that I did now.<\/span><\/p>\n

The venue was pretty awesome – the Ball Room, in the Blackpool Tower (as seen on Strictly), so I’m guessing that’s where a lot of your \u00a340 goes.<\/p>\n

It was well worth it, good day all round really.<\/p>\n

Some things to note:
\nIt’s a bit difficult to park anywhere, we ended up in the multi-storey. \u00a0Make sure you leave some time when planning your commute, for parking.<\/p>\n

The standard is really high at blue-belt level and above. As you’d expect I suppose!<\/p>\n

It’s difficult to get on the warm up area, it’s always really busy. \u00a0Bring some strength bands and perhaps a skipping rope, if you want to get a proper warm up.<\/p>\n

Take a foam roller with you, if you’re going to have a long car journey<\/p>\n

Don’t make excuses if you lose! \u00a0Just say “well done mate”and shake hands. \u00a0You look a bit of a bellend if you make up a ruck of excuses after the match.<\/p>\n

Blue belts tend to pull guard a lot, all the white belts don’t!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
