The highlight had to be Dave having to put his socks over the top of his trainers so we could get into a night club (They don't allow trainiers). It nearly worked but every one was pissing them selfs in the queue..... the bouncer spotted it and let him in any way, I think he fell sorry for him. So after all that abuse, I was looking forward to getting back to the business of training, got me a used car so I can start traveling around again ...... but ...... I am fucking ill. (any suggestions to get rid of it would be great) I am on a cool mix of Beechams, Halls, Airwaves, Warm Cola with ginger and lemon, Vit C, Green Tea and any other stuff I can get my hands on.

Busy Weekend We had one of our fighters, fighting at the battle in Brigg for the "Pride and Glory" Promotion. Ian Lorentz has been a big part of the team for about 3 years and on Saturday he picked up his 2nd MMA win. He beat Robin Robson by Armbar 2.16 Rnd 2, He had a soild performance and got some good time in the ring. I had a chat with him and he is well up for some more!!!

I have started my harder training sessions and I have started to pick up my cardio, but non of this was done on a diet. The worse bit about wieght cutting is not the hours spent in the gym or on the road, it is not been able to eat what I want. But it usual only takes my a week or so to get into the habbit of dieting, which is not too bad. More on this as I now have to go bang my head on something hard.

Good timing really. Next couple of weeks will be trying to drop a couple of KG and working towards some of my weakness. Keep an eye out to see how training goes and how mad I go because I want real food like pies and chips Mon, 22 Aug 2005 20:14:54 +0200 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/spenna/8-weeks-til-my-fight/22/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/spenna/8-weeks-til-my-fight/22/ Hello, Although it has been sorted for a little while, I have my fight with Aaron Barrow is confirmed for FX3 in Reading. I next week I am on my 8 week training, which means more running (booo) More training (yeah) and dieting (booo). So although every thing is cheery at the moment 2 weeks in these post should change in character ;) Spenna www.teamfulinkazan.com Thu, 18 Aug 2005 23:36:28 +0200 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/spenna/Next-Fight/21/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/spenna/Next-Fight/21/ I have always liked rock/punk music but my friend at work has shown me the way..... I am now a Fat Wreck Cord Junkie ..... if I don't buy CD's I want to start scratching, and screaming at folk. Well training has kicked arse, lots of new stuff to show every one got some good scrapping in as well. I do Mixed Martial arts, which is basically ever martial art rolled into one, you can punch, Kick, throw, slam, knee, elbow and submit. It is human chess and there is always lots to learn. The class is an excellent mix of people and ability and we only get the odd idiot down..... in the typ of enviorment we train in they don't last very long. The worse type of people are the big (usually body builders or bouncers) head squeezers. All they will do is get you in a school yard head lock and try and squish your head. I once spent 5 minutes fighting this guy who had 20kg on me and for 4 of the mins he was squeezing the crap out of my head..... A little pissed off, I worked my way out of the hold he had...

I work as a desktop engineer, which is ok most of the time, but I am now waiting for a laptop Patch which is taking forever!!!! I read through some of the blogs and man there is some random stuff in there. Speaking of which ...... ......Are Goths allowed to laugh and Smile? and do many of them pose for pictures. When in Japan, there was this one place were there was a large gathering of goths who were smiling and letting tourist take pic's with them. Now back home (England, Bradford) this would never happen. What do you think?

This morning walking to the internet cafe, I walked past a guy walking his 2 pet pigs in a pram. The TV show are a total mind fuck, and little dogs sell every thing form beer to loans...... these Japans guys are marketing gods. Ok so tonite was the BBQ, which was similar to the last were you get meat and cook it on the grill which is built in to the table. We had beef, pork and chicken and some veg...... but the best thing I had was the raw beef (yes raw) with a raw egg (yes raw) mixed in with it. Even Tom and French jonny liked it ..... I have taken a pic. Keishi threw up and french jonny, tom and I eat icecream..... got cinda another present and watch a scuffle between some 50`s greece lighting guys and some pussy Japan Punk...

So strange things happening was a film crew told me and Keishi off for getting in the way of them filming a ball running down the road !!!!!! Some goth bird singing under the main archway. On the way back home on the train some yanks (about 6 men, women and a puff) got on the train....... as soon as they got on this doppy bird jumps on her first words are "this one time" !!!! Tom starts with the band camp thing, and then they sat next to us. This doppy bird starts trying to talk to us, "were are you from" in a whinny yank accent.... before we could answer she looks at Jonny and says "your french arn`t you" (at this point me, tom and Keishi Piss our selfs), she then looks at me and says your an aussie (stupid bitch), to which I reply no..... 3rd times a charm she says british. But she is not happy and tells me I...

RAW MEAT and RAW EGG .... yum No Tom he is not food!!!!!! We did most of our training with the AACC team ( www.aacc-sports.com )   Although most of the trip was all about training, we did some site seeing we went to the big arse cross road you see in films ...... More stories to come.....     Wed, 10 Aug 2005 21:50:02 +0200 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/spenna/Back-from-Japan/14/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/spenna/Back-from-Japan/14/ Sat, 30 Jul 2005 13:10:46 +0200 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/spenna/at-AACC/13/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/spenna/at-AACC/13/ No training to day (thank god), just went to Isami shop to buy stuff and had a subway !!!!! Sat, 30 Jul 2005 13:04:56 +0200 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/spenna/Saturday/12/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/spenna/Saturday/12/ We didn`t bother with food and went straight to Yuki Naki`s gym for some free open mat action. there was a pro shooto guy there a couple of blues and a 2 purple belts. The session was pretty much a free for all, 4 mins on the clock and grab some one and spar. I started with the pro shooto guy and I thought I did quite well..... this continued through the blues and the smaller purple...... then I got to the big purple...... from there I got slowly smashed. A lot of the brown and black belts are in brazil at the moment. After the session we headed over to the reveasal gym, which is quite new and on the night it was a beginners sub wrestling class. The class was taken buy the guy who ko`ed the little nogiera (sp), to be honest the class was not up to much, arm bar from mount and escape. Got to roll with him and got spanked which was cool. Sat, 30 Jul 2005 13:04:34 +0200 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/spenna/Friday/11/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/spenna/Friday/11/ Not much happened, we all slept until 2:00pm so we only had time to eat and get ready for the AACC MMA class. The MMA class was similar format to the BJJ class were we had the warm up/drills, tech and then sparring. After getting through those awful warm up drills, we started on double leg take down drill, ABE should us a couple of finer point to the take down which were really cool and a defence to the double which is excellent. half way through the drills more people turn up to train, most of which been pro fighters Yoshida (the guy who fought Royler), BJ and a couple of other fighters. Sparring was just rolling, but there was people who would do MMA or boxing sparring as well. Another great night!!!! Sat, 30 Jul 2005 13:04:11 +0200 http://www.blogigo.co.uk/spenna/Thursday/10/ http://www.blogigo.co.uk/spenna/Thursday/10/ After Sleeping 14 hours we got up and had a ride out to Shinjuku again, this time meet with much better weather. We headed over to the isami shop which ......... is fucking excellent, they have all kinda shit you don`t need but if you don`t buy it you would cry. We had planned to visit it on the Saturday but this was a scouting mission...... so after a quick look around we left with catalog in hands, planning to buy them out on the saturday .... our return visit. On Wednesday we had our first training session, even with another hour kip, I didn`t feel up to it and was if honest a little nervous about training. We went to AACC which as mentioned before is the home of ABI and FUJII. ABE has fought in Shooto, KOTC, K-1 and FUJII is noted as one of the leaders in womens MMA in Japan. Our first session was a BJJ class, we got to the gym a little late but while waiting in the lift we was met by ABE and FUJII......... Now I can not explain this well enough to give it justice but Keishi face was a picture....
