  • Jon Jones Vs Daniel Cormier 2

    What can we take from the first fight between Jones & Cormier? Jones looked very dangerous in the first round significantly less so in the 2nd Jones had a range of attacks – a knee tap & a left cross, elbows, oblique kicks & body kicks Cormier had only 2 go-to attacks, a wrestling tie-up…

  • Hanging from a Bar for Shoulder & Back Pain

    Joe Rogan – who else – introduced me to this concept. Hanging from the bar decompresses the back and the intervertebral discs whilst stretching the shoulders. There is a whole book based on hanging from a bar to rehab shoulder injuries.   This video is pretty interesting too:   Don’t just drop from the bar…

  • Can Conor beat Floyd?

    Well, the simple answer is – “yes, but it’s unlikely” Conor was beaten on the feet by Nate Diaz, who had him in big trouble & close to getting knocked out before Conor was forced to shoot for a double leg takedown, which ultimately led to him getting mounted and choked. A few things to…

  • Psilocybin Mushrooms & Meditation

Meditation enables you to dissociate from thoughts and emotions and just watch them go by… Psychedelic chemicals such as psilocybin appear to work in a similar…

  • The Benefits of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

    I must admit that I have been a little cynical of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) in recent years but realise that I’ve been a bit of a bellend – projecting my own insecurities onto it. For example, blaming the cost of gis, tournaments, memberships etc. for my lack of interest & progression, is just me…

  • Jocko Willinks – Extreme Ownership

    This is a pretty cool video and book about taking ownership when things go wrong. This relates to the psychological state of ‘learned helplessness’ which is defined as: “a condition in which a person suffers from a sense of powerlessness, arising from a traumatic event or persistent failure to succeed. It is thought to be one…

  • Joe Rogan & Robb Wolf

        I’m paraphrasing here, so please check the podcast if you get time Robb says that he uses the sauna for recovery after BJJ and it makes a massive difference. He uses ice baths occasionally, but doesn’t find the same benefits in terms of recovery as he does with saunas. The sugar industry back…
