Some of the nicest people I've met.

Also in the background a man so tough he has to wrist lock himself. Another of life's good guys, Smurf

 

I hope by now you lot are realising just how good these events are.

Hopefully too you are starting to put names to faces.

 

Bassai, the world's hardest hitting person, was the first to arrive.

 

Smurf and Unreal Combat.

@Vince Millett who was fantastically helpful throughout the 2019 Meet.

 

Unreal Combat, with PiP on the pads.

 

Vince showing his boxing skills.

 

Unreal Combat. Superman punch, anyone?

 

Pretty in Pink with the same punch.

Both guys showing great mechanics, proving it's not the style, it's the training.

@hewho on the pads. A big thanks to him for also being so helpful on the day.

 

Me showing hewho where to apply the pressure.

 

Pretty in Pink offering me some advice during my catch wrestling session.

 

Steve brinkman's session was really popular and it would have been great to see him again this year.

Here he is assisted by Late for Dinner.

 

Old school jits with dunc, who Mitch and I think has some of the nicest, most fluid movement we've seen.

 

I've just got some great photos from many years ago from the fabulous Dr John Titchen. @Late for dinner , the hair! Oh man, the hair!

Look out tomorrow and over the next few days for a few blasts from the past
