There is definitely synergies between Muay Thai Clinch and tree climbing with a rope. I have often been able to control heavier training partners in the clinch due to tree climbing. Grip strength is obviously an advantage in BJJ and by all accounts people say they have trouble breaking my...

Another day and another sticky Fat Pine. Drop and leave, home owner is going to clear up. Yeah good luck with that. Speed lined a few of the back and side limbs off that were over the uninsulated cables. Two or three logs dropped and then fell the stick over with the 661.

So. We have a new UFC Heavyweight Champ on the block.

I break the medicine up into pieces that look identical to the usual kibble we feed. We also mix raw food in with it. The bowl will be empty and licked clean apart from 4 quarters of the medicine tablet. She is a clever little bitch that one!

Kira has had the tick tablets but every time she comes in from the forest they have either attached and died or are crawling in her fur. I have found one attached to me this year. Probably brought in from the dog. Luckily it had just attached I reckon and didn’t even have a red mark after...

Occasionally we do. That job we didn’t. Just a grass rake and then a big blower. We were there an hour, fell, cut firewood and clean up.

Yesterdays job was a bit of a slog in the heat and fighting sap. Large pine to remove and then another over solar panels and decking. Rigged and free falled the larger tree and then used that as a rigging point to swing everythin away from house. No before picture as to busy. All the logs on...

I did a bit more of a lookup on him. According to Wiki he lost in a Muay Thai fight and also has around 60-70 fights. I don’t doubt he was a good fighter though but a bit like Steven Segal. His story my have been massaged a bit when he became and actor.

Cory, I watched quite a bit of it last night. He has some very valid points and techniques but I am afraid I will call BS on anyone who claims to have had 200 fights and never lost. Especially a Karate guy from the 70’s. I am not saying it is all BS but I ask why did he stop at 200 and how...

Yes. Under 70kg Blue Belt category. Adult division, so 18 and above. That guy was about 24 IIRC.

A couple of pictures captured by the event photographer. Haakon got caught in a guillotine. It was pretty deep. As you can see from the picture. It wasn’t surprising that he looked like he was gonna pass out when his head popped out and he got the guy in a footlock.

That looks great. I have been cooking on the grill outside. Just charcoal or sometimes I use a griddle pan. Here is a recipe I found from a mate. I marinade it for 24 hours and zip lock bag it. Might work well with your setup.

Thanks Mick. Yes it was good it was not damaged. He recovered quite well after his first knee surgery and then competed in 3 or 4 tournaments. Then ruptures the meniscus again which required a second surgery. He took the rehab just as serious but did’t rush back into competition quite so...

Both Haakon and Torstein competed in the BJJ Oslo Open 2025 today. Haakon had his first match after recovery from knee surgery. He is also an adult now and in the blue belt category. He won the first match via footlock after being in a deep guilotine. Second match he dominated for the...
