I signed up for a free class this week at the Pedro Sauer gym because its 10 minutes away from me and everything else you guys recommended is 30+ minutes and with rush hour traffic maybe even worse.

Any tips for my first class? the guy on the phone said it would be mostly free practice so I guess some experienced dude is going to use my body as a training dummy. I wrestled in high school but that was over 15 years ago

Bring: A clean rashguard/shirt you don't mind getting damp to change in to. A water bottle filled with water. Mouth guard and Cup.

Before class: Shower with soap that doesn't smell too strong, Drink water and eat something light that settles easy in your stomach, trim your nails. Remove piercings.

During Class: Listen to your instructor and do only the drill explained to you and do it until your instructor tells you other wise.

If they allow you to roll: 1) Make sure they explain the rules and etiquette to you first 2) tell your training partner your a dumb noob and don't know anything 3) If it feels weird/hurty/panicky tap. Don't feel bad for tapping out, you're new and people would rather you tap early then tap too late.

After class: Try to stick around and talk to some dudes and see if they're people you don't mind training with.

Mold Belt is the secret rank of the ultimate goon self defense technique, which involves being too gross to approach or attack

Found out my sensei, who has been kind of an rear end in a top hat lately, was dating a student. And they broke up, which is why he’s being an rear end in a top hat, including intimidating students during open mat and injuring others during sparring.

Anyway, looks like I’m finding a new gym

I could take Benedict 1 v 1, therefore he would be my Robin.

Glad that other people are taking up the task of tackling Britain Moped/Bike crime problem, I feel I am a trend setter here and it does not surprise me in the slightest that A listers are following my lead.

Just looking into how viable a McMMA Moped attack celebrity defence training class business would be. If you invent the martial art you automatically get the top belt I think.

If this is going to be a viable martial arts gym, it's not going to start with me giving the exclusive lessons away for free.

But I'll say this, because I've said it before, confidence is paramount. If you have to stand and bang with someone with a knife, do so knowing that you'll win because no one can take the power of your right hand. Worst case scenario is you get stabbed to death, and that doesn't matter because you'll be dead, so you literally can't lose.

Confidence.

Also steroids.

It’s only a loving hammer Mike mate, run the oval office over. My idea of a McMMA Moped attack celebrity defence Training class came too late for some.

In all seriousness, the guy had his kid in the car with him. London is really frightening at the moment. I'm going to go there thief baiting this Saturday, wish me luck. If the police are reading this because someone died I do not intend to hurt anyone who tries to take my phone, merely detain them, if they try and fight me and they die, that's on them, it will have been self defence.

If I get killed, you guys have been a good sport. Wish me luck lads!
