Me and the Portsmouth Team travelled to Dublin for the first major event since the pandemic on 6th and 7th November.

What a joy to meet old friends for a beer and meal on the Saturday.

On Sunday “we are back” on the mats training under the guidance of Brian McCarthy chief instructor for the BBD.

The focus was on having your motor(body/mind) turned on so you are able to create and deal with multiple different situations. This covered much to do with your headspace you need to be there to appreciate.

To all those, there remember your “key” to start the motor

The last third was on strong striking and conditioning.

You are never too good to focus on strong delivery of the basics.

Was fab to see you all looking forward to a rocking 2022
