Hi all, I hope we are all keeping well and our training is continuing to improve, after the various disruptions of the last few years. As the...
Have you been yet? I want to try out an MMA gym in NW England, so feedback would be appreciated.
I've done a number of Google searches and it's interesting how much comes back to this site. This old thead in particular has quite a negative...
Hi, Unfortunately I am living in ENGLAND, as opposed to SCOTLAND (although I was born north of the border) so that club is not an option....
I believe the Instructor here was one of Joe Tierney's guys. Anyone know anything? http://gmafighter.com/

As the old adage goes in Football/Soccer... "great players don't always make great Managers." This has been proven time and time again, but how...
