One of the main characters in Angry white Pyjamas , is a Canadian Aikido instructor called Robert Mustard probably one of the best Non Japanese Aikido instructors in the world . I was lucky enough to have him stay at my home when he came over to do a weekend seminar in the UK . Tough old bugger , what he doesn't know about martial arts ain't worth knowing . Him and his fellow teachers threw me all over the hall for two days .....but seeing as I trained in Taekwondo was totally out of my comfort zone anyway !
Through Rob Mustard I met Robert Twigger wrote the book . -
anyone got a link to the most recent Anderson Silva fight?
EDIT, found it:

@1:22 in the above link. Elbowing a grounded opponent in the face from a standing position. Pretty fucking impressive ... and gutsy.

Re the Japanese thing above , the Tokyo riot police have to spend a year training in Yoshinkan Aikido full time before they qualify . Widely known to be one of the most brutal courses in martial arts . Full time 5 days a week for a year , you have to be a 3rd dan in one art or a first dan in two to get on . Civilians can do as well . A mate of mine wrote a book about doing it , called Angry White Pyjamas deffo worth a read .
read the book its a good read and a brutal training course.

I'm bored at work. Can someone please post links to vids of fights from the last 6 months? Navigating the usual sites is way too confusing right now.

Talking to self (not enough mma scums on this here cycling forum). I was looking at some older articles for Joanna Jedrzejczyk, since she is challenging for a title and I have only watched her in one fight. I came across this photo from the one fight of hers that I did see.

Should be interesting to hear how she does.

Through listening to the Joe Rogan podcast (via Duncan Trussell and Danieli Bolleli), I've become intrigued in this... Didn't realise there was a thread on it here.
Never had any martial arts experience or "had the need to" but elements of it are starting to appeal to me now I'm older for some reason. -
By older, I mean not quite 30 :) Where abouts is the gym? I'm in Islington but will cycle anywhere within reason.

nm... answered....
May be too far.
Do you have a link to it?

@ajo1989 Ok, that's mid-commute. I'll look in to it further and might just come along.

If you're considering training jiu jitsu (which one should :)) then it's one of the best places. I've trained at several renowned locations in London and this is by far the most productive, welcoming and addictive gym. I learned more in my first 4 months there than I did in the entire 18 months of training I did at other places previously. If you're interested, let me know and I'll put a word in, accompany you to a session and give you some pointers. Best to watch a few videos to get a real taste for what it involves before coming along. If you've listened to Joe Rogan's podcasts you'll have heard a lot about it, but this is a nice vid nontheless -
