Getting To Grips...

My current fascination with the Ultimate Fighting Championship is showing no signs of abating and there is now the very real temptation that I may actually want to fight in something at some point.

I am putting this down to my impending 40th birthday in April and me undergoing some type of belated or early midlife crisis, but it's been an itch that I so far have not been able to scratch away despite my ongoing hapkido and boxing training.

Bearing this in mind I've decided it is a good idea to brush up on and extend my limited grappling skills so I've been reading the excellent No Holds Barred Fighting: The Ultimate Guide To Submission Wrestling by Mark Hatmaker and Doug Werner.

And on top of this I've also discovered a great website called Train, Fight, Win which has an idiot's guide to basic submission techniques which is so fool-proof that even I can learn from it.

This could be a great new adventure...
