Lifting my own body weight in Flat Dumbell Press. Not bad for me, haven't done this in Months.

Thomas doin Bench Press, I don't know what Kems up too, may be pole dancing. I've never seen that before, what does he get up to in Auckland?

Me and Kem Sparring.

That's why I always remember my mouth guard.

Because sometimes the South Island Golden Gloves Champ tries to punch me in the head.

One minute me and Thomas are walking down by Darwin Harbour and the next minute we are doin street theatre. what the hell is goin on here?

I don't know how we get ourselves into these things, this nut is juggling knives and at one stage a chainsaw whilst riding passed our heads standing on the seat and handle bars of his BMX. What's goin on?

Now Thomas is helping him put his BMX on the top of a pole to do something crazy.

I don't even know what is happening now, I do know this though, I have about 300 people watching me and this will be the first and only time I get talked into doin street theatre.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

I would like to start by thanking all our Academy Members for their support and hard work they have done this year.

To all the Coaches Peter Clinch (Gracie Jiu Jitsu, MMA And Grappling Coach), Nick Taylor (Kickboxing Coach), Tim Medlicott (Fitness and Kickboxing Coach), Thomas Kaan (Gracie Jiu Jitsu Coach), Eldon Clifton (Senior Boxing Coach) and the Late Daniel Wadsworth (MMA Coach), Cherine and I would like to thank you all for the hard work you have put in at the Academy.

A BIG THANKS to Brent & Paula Te Kawa for their support at the Academy.

First of all, my heart goes out to all of Daniel Wadsworth Family. His death took us all by surprise and effected me and many others, leaving a hole that can never be filled. Thank you to everyone who put a koha in the Jar and presents under the tree for the Wadsworth family. A big thank you to Wayne Sefton (Blackdog), Desiree Sefton and the kids and all of the Mackies Hotel Patrons for their kind donations.

I would like to thank Royler Gracie for his support with the Academy and for giving me the honour of Grading Daniel at his funeral, to Blue Belt, in Gracie Jiu Jitsu.

To all the Highlanders, thanks for the BBQ and your contribution to Dan. For those of you that do not know, the Team and all the Coaches donated a specialised Highlander Jursey and gave a T-Shirt to Awatea (my son) and Shade (Dans boy). I have been working with the Highlanders for the past 2 Months and have had the honour of helping coach the whole squad. Thanks to Andrew Bedwick, Jamie Joseph, Kase Muse, Simon Culhane and all the Coaching Staff for letting me be a part of their coaching team. I am enjoying working with you all and can't wait till next year.

What a surprise when good friend of mine Kem Christensen turned up, and joined us for one of our special gourmet burgers.
The only problem was, Kem came for a work out as well, and was not prepared, so had to wear his pyjama undies.
No way Kem expected to be going to the gym today. Not even once.
Shook off the rust with a hard work out and some pads with Eldon

Boxing Nationals - Session 4

Well guys, hard session. Some mean fights last night, witnessed two big knockouts, and what I believe was a wrong decision, but never mind.

Bridget fought an international fighter and NZ champ in her first fight, just losing on points. First time Bridget ever fought in her own weight division. We had a mean game plan, and it worked well, but sometimes you just don't get the decision you want. You see, when you put so much time into training a team for your province, you actually feel the pressure yourself. I can imagine what Graham Henry was going through.

Cherine fought last night too, and the amount of people that came up to me including top international coaches and fighters, who reckoned she won, but again, no decision in our favour. It was always going to be hard, in the North Island. Out of the 210 people that weighed in, over 150 were from the North, and only one South Island referee and judge.

Was talking last night to the vice president of Otago Boxing, and we are coming up with a plan to fight the North Island alot more next year, to get the academy boxers more experience. We are also going to box in Sydney before the NZ season starts, and come up to the North Island Golden Gloves. Well guys, we have a coaches meeting this morning, so gotta go, here's some photos of last night.

Cherine and Bridget chilling before their fights. And no Bridget, you can't have a cup cake. Not even one.
One of the Otago boxers is a chef at the Hilton Queenstown, so gourmet burgers for breakfast. Sorry girls, no burgers for yous.
Bridget's so keen to fight, she even had her hand wraps on before she left the hotel.
Cherine and Bridget warming up for their fights.

Boxing Nationals - Session 3

Hard fight for Sam today, what's the chances the first time you ever fight a south paw, it happens to be while fighting for a NZ title. It can really throw you off!! Mean fight for Sam, fighting the best in the country. Didn't quite win this one, but 8 fights in your first season MEAN!

Been at the gym, finally worked off that stupid bacon and pasta breakfast. Don't even know what I was thinking at the time eating that.
You actually can't take Bridget anywhere. She will just compulsively buy, and that really annoys me because those stupid propela planes I don't think can take the weight!
Good to catch up with my old boxing buddy Billy Graham - legend!
Eldon with Rex Jenkins boxing coach of 63 NZ champs - LEGEND! Well guys, off to get Bridget and Cherine ready for their semi finals churrr.

Good News Everyone,

The Otago Boxing Team are all looking good and training hard.

Just doing a 7 Week Programme with Highlander Chris King. We did a leg smash today, I can hardly walk now.

Forgot to tell you guys, I had a film crew down from Auckland, from channel 1. They are doing a documentary on the gym.

Hey Guys

Found the time to Blog now, hopefully I will be able to keep it up more often. It has just been a really busy Month.

I have just received an email from Master Royler, he is away on holiday to Bali for 10 days. He was giving me a heads up on when he will be coming to the the Academy, I will let you know when he will arrive once he has confirmed the dates for sure.

Was really good to have a couple of the English Rugby Team come in and train here at the Academy. One of the guys Matt is a Roger Gracie Jiu Jitsu Blue Belt. The Academy is based in Kensington, London. Super fit and 120kgs, so you can imagine what the rolling was like!

The Boxing Nationals are only 3 weeks away in Wellington. We have been really busy travelling a lot. The Boxing Team have competed at the Southland Champs, Gore Boxing Tournament and the Canterbury Champs getting ready for the Nationals.

We have won some Southland Titles and Canterbury Titles. Congratulations to Sam Beck who won both Southland and Canterbury Titles in his division and Bridget Morton who won the Canterbury Title. Both these fighters have now been selected to represent Otago at the Nationals. Also congratulations to Shade Darroch for his win at the Southland Champs and winning his 1st Title and winning his fight at Gore - 3 fights - 3 wins, undefeated.

5 Boxers have been selected to represent Otago at this years National Boxing tournament, 1 from Queenstown, 1 from Kaitangata and 3 from the Academy.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE, we are away to Gore tomorrow for a boxing fight night. 3 of the 5 fighters that I am taking down are in the Otago Team and they have some hard fights a head of them this weekend before the Canterbury Champs and the NZ Boxing Nationals. Bridget Morton is giving away weight again and Sam Beck is fighting an undefeated fighter 7 - 0.

The Kodiak Cage Wars were on last Saturday. I wasn't able to make it up, but Peter Clinch and Daniel Wadsworth had everything under control and the Academy had 2 great wins. The boys told me that Hamish Te Whata and Mike Pascoe both out classed their opponents. All the Boxing, Kickboxing, Jiu Jitsu, Grappling and MMA training they did really paid off.

We had a Jiu Jitsu guy pass through from Australia the other week and I over herd him saying to Pete that he has never seen such great skills from such low graded guys. It goes to show the guidance I get from our Master Royler Gracie and Bruno Panno as well as the the hard work all the students put in, our school 'Gracie Humaita NZ Competition Team' is doing something right. Having Peter and Ashley Clinch on the mats helping teach classes has helped lift the level in the Academy and they are both a great help to me. Those guys submit anyone! We will have more room in a week or two with the new arrival of our third mat extension.

I have run out of time to keep on blogging, so here are some photos of a very busy couple of weeks!

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE, was talking to Royler on Monday which is Sunday for him in San Diego time. He was having a rest day from all the training he is doing for his up and coming Super Fight. He was telling me his training regime and his diet, which is pretty cool, I'll start adding some of his stuff into the way I train my fighters. You see as a trainer you never stop learning. He is going to let me know if some how we can watch it live over here in New Zealand. I fell real honoured that I am part of what I believe to be one of the best Jiu Jitsu Teams in the world, Gracie Humaita and to have such Great Masters in my life, Royler Gracie and Bruno Panno.

SHADE DARROCH aged 10 years has his 3rd Boxing match coming up. He is undefeated 2 - 0.

IT'S GREAT watching the kids develop their skills and confidence using boxing, whether it's to compete one day, for self defence or using it for cross training in other sports.

Good on ya Tim, always smiling!

I really wish when we went to Grappling Tournaments that I didn't have to help Mike Pascoe get out of these tight jams. You really can't take him any where!

Good news everyone, finally found the time to Blog. Bad news everyone, a little bit of water damage from Sunday night’s big snow fall. There was a lot of snow on the roof, so when it melted it had nowhere to run, so it visited the gym. Good thing about insurance, new ceiling on the way!

Roof Above The Open Gym Area

Another great training with Otago Girls on Thursday morning, I just started to teach them how to slip punches, I can’t believe how quickly they picked it up.

Otago Girls

Busy times at the moment for all our fighters, tomorrow (Sunday 21^st August) is the South Island Grappling Champs, then the next weekend are the MMA Kodiak Cage Wars and then the following weekend we are away with the boxers to fight in Gore. Two weeks later are the Canterbury Boxing Champs and after the Rugby World Cup are The Boxing Nationals. I am busy training Cherine and Sam at the moment in prep for the NZ Boxing Champs.

Sam Slipping And Landing A Straight Left To The Body

Sam Weaving The Straight Right Landing His Right To The Body

Cherine won the Otago Female Boxer of the Year in 2010; I was just cleaning the Trophy and noticed that the first time it was awarded was in 2002 to a fighter that Eldon Clifton trained up. For those who do not know who Eldon is, he is the Academy’s Senior Boxing Coach and one of New Zealand’s best boxers in his time. Then I noticed that every single girl who has won that trophy over the past few years, have been trained by Eldon and myself.

Otago's Best Female Boxer Award

Something that is quite frustrating for me at the moment is the amount of people coming from other Gyms thinking that they know how to box because some PT has taught them how to hit a bag or pads the wrong way.

If you ever want to take your boxing seriously, whether it is for competing, fitness or self defence, you need to be taught properly. That is why they have licensed boxing Coaches. This is why only Licensed Boxing Coaches can put a competitor in the ring. When you hit the bag or pads wrong, you’re training your muscles and body to do the wrong thing, do that for long enough and it becomes a habit, this is why it is easier to train someone from scratch.

The problem I am having is people are coming in thinking that they are ready to compete because they have boxed for a year or 2 with their PT’s and gained false confidence, when all they have gained is bad habits and they want me to put them in the ring?

Cherine has the most problems with this, a perfect example is when she was coaching a seminar the other day and one of the ladies said to her, “My PT said we do it this way, I’m so confused, what way do I do it?” I over heard Cherine say “A jab is faster than a hook, so when you throw a jab, you need to be ready to catch a jab, they have to step into range to set up a hook, so you have time to move your hand and block it.”

Most PT’s have not hopped into a ring and put their bodies on the line to test these techniques, but they will charge you high hourly rates for something they know nothing about. That is why when someone asks me about an injury I tell them to go see a physiotherapist, I don’t pretend to be one or try and make money pretending to be one.

For those PT's who teach Boxing and don't tell their clients they are only Fitness Instructors and are not qualified to teach Boxing, a quote from the program Fair Go comes to mind, "Shame on you PT’s, shame on you!"

Queens High School

Another great training today. Off to Queens High School for a sesh at 9am. Really enjoyed teaching the girls some of the things I used to do to get fit before I used to fight.

Otago Girls Clubs

Then back to the Gym for a 10am boxing session with Otago Girls.

Queens High School - Jacqui's Class

Back off to Queens for a second session, this time with Jacqui's Class. I always enjoy working with Jacqui and the girls; we have a lot of fun in the classes.

Coach Ryan, Jacqui And The Queens Gilrs

Then back to the Gym to take Simon to the stairs, to get him ready for the Ultimate Stair Challenge which is COMING SOON! Then back to the Academy to smash a mean weight session.

Then 5pm Boxing Class, 6pm Open Mats, some hard rolling with Peter Clinch and the boys. Just looking over at 7pm kickboxing, bit of sweat coming off everyone, that's the great thing about fight training, you learn a skill and get fit at the same time.

Good news everyone, Gracie Jiu Jitsu Intro Classes are really taking off.

Gracie Jiu Jitsu Intro

Part of what we cover in Gracie Jiu Jitsu are the true Self Defence Fundamentals which Helio Gracie created. I am really honoured to be under Royler Gracie who has directly formulated all my Jiu Jitsu Classes I teach at the Academy. Before Brazilian Jiu Jitsu became a sport, it was a self defence art as Helio explains below.

“The Jiu-Jitsu that I created was designed to give the weak ones a chance to face the heavy and strong. It was so successful that they decided to create a sportive version of it. I would like to make it clear that of course I am in favor of the sportive practice and technical refinement of all athletes, whatever their specialty may be, as well as good nutrition, sexual control, avoidance of addictions and unhealthy habits. The problem lies in the creation of a sport-oriented Jiu-Jitsu, based on rules and time limits, which benefits the heavier, stronger, and more athletic individuals. The primary objective of Jiu-Jitsu is to empower the weak who, for not having the physical attributes, are often intimidated. My Jiu-Jitsu is an art of self-defense in which rules and time limits are unacceptable.” - Grand Master Helio Gracie (October 1, 1913 – January 29, 2009)

Ryan Henry Sparring Daniel Parkin

More good news everyone, at the start of every year they have the South Island Novice Boxing Championship. It is a great tournament if you are interested in competing in Amateur Boxing. They have a Debut Section and an Improvers Section 1 - 5 Fights. I have already started training a team for next year, so it was good to have 2 official boxing judges and referees visit the Gym last night to judge and referee the sparring. Great experience and advice for the new guys.

A very busy week at the Gym, lots of people training for their up and coming tournaments in Boxing, MMA and Jiu Jitsu.

Otago Girls Clubs Doing Boxing At The Academy

We had Otago Girls High School Clubs in yesterday morning for a Boxing Session and then Fairfield Primary school teachers for a Boxing Seminar. Boxing used to be a part of some schools curriculums back in the day, great to see it is returning again.

Fairfeild Teachers Boxing Seminar

It has been a busy week in the Gym with overseas visitors on the mats and on the boxing floor. It’s always good to train with others from different parts of the world. We also had a visit from BT’s Boxing Team from Invercargill. They stopped in on their way up to the Ashburton Boxing Tournament. Nice to catch-up.

Good news everyone! They have selected the Otago Boxing Team.

Eldon Clifton & Ryan Henry with Trainers Awards

Eldon has the Head Coaches Position and I am the Assistant Coach for the Team. I am really pleased that I am going to work along side my Coach for the first time at this level. We have both been the Otago Head Coaches before, but never together. The hard work has finally paid off, this year we won the Otago Trainers Of The Year Award and the South Islands Most Succesful Trainers Award. Also I would like to congratulate Cherine Henry who is the only female to be selected to represent Otago to fight for a NZ Title.

Once a year they have a National Boxing Tournament to find out who are the best Boxers in the Country in their weight divisions. Amateur Boxing is an Olympic Sport which means most Country's around the world host these types of events to find out who are the best.

It all starts by winning Provincial Titles, then North and South Island Titles (like the Golden Gloves), then the Nationals, Oceania Games, Commonwealth Games and then ultimately the Olmpics.

Each Country has a Governing Body. Ours is The NZ Boxing Association. Each province has an Association e.g. The OBA (Otago Boxing Association.) Each Boxing Gym has licensed boxing coaches sanctioned under NZ Boxing and all Amateur Boxing Gyms must be registered under NZ Boxing.

Academy South Island Golden Gloves Boxers, Coaches & Support Team

We are fortunate enough to be the only Gym in Dunedin's CBD with Licensed Boxing Coaches. Two of them are Level 2 Coaches and we have the only Licensed Female Boxing Coach in Otago, which is really starting to pay off. The Gym won more Golden Gloves Titles this year then any other Otago Gym has in the history of the South Island Golden Gloves.

What a busy weekend, only just having time to blog now. For you guys who don't know only 90% of my time is dedicated to training and training others. The other 10% is dedicated to Rugby.

Awatea And The Under 10's Harbour rugby Team

Saturday morning was standing on a cold side line supporting my son Awatea and his team, Harbour Hawkes under 10's. What a muddy game, but that's Rugby! Awatea played a hard game and got player of the day.

Ryan Sparring Jezze

Then away to the Academy for some good hard boxing sparring, that soon warmed me up. Then Gracie Jiu Jitsu Class, after that, closed the Gym and back to the Harbour Rugby Club to watch Habour Seniors beat Zingari in the finals. This is the second year in a row seniors have won the division.

Harbour Seniors Rugby Team And Supporters

But even bigger news, our Prems the Harbour Hawks have beaten the undefeated Southern Rugby Club to make the finals next weekend at Carisbrook. If we win this it will be great for Port Chalmers and our Rugby Club, go the mighty Hawks!

Talked to Royler today about the history of Gracie Jiu Jitsu and about his up coming fight. He is training every day at the moment and doing some boxing.

OK, lets talk about the stairs. There is one set of stairs in Dunedin that I have always used. Eldon Clifton introduced me to the stairs when I was competing in boxing. Close friend and mentor Peter Wiliamson was the first person to introduce cage fighting to New Zealand in 1997 and was the first NZ Cage Fighting Champ. It was a 4 man round off and the final was 42 minutes bare knuckles and open head butts. His fitness was the best I ever seen. He holds the record for the most times running up and down them to this day.

They really test you mentally as well. I have been doing these stairs since 1999 and in the last 12 years got to know them really well. I can work out a persons fitness straight away by the speed and the time it takes them to do each lap of stairs. No fancy fitness monitoring equipment needed, I tell you that. All my boxers have done the stairs and today it was Simons and Sams turn.

Mike Pascoes turn coming up!

Got stuck in Port Chalmers on Monday. Live on a pretty steep hill with a cliff on the other side, so driving was out of the question.Ended up having a snow day at home.

For you guys who don't know, boxing is only seasonal and we have a couple of Big Tournaments coming up.

Just been training Sam Beck today. There is a guy who wants to fight him who is undefeated, so I think we will take that fight, should be a good one!

Good Sparring Class last night, had 2 rings going flat out. It's really good when the MMA and Kickboxers come in to spar the Competitive Boxers and the up and coming boxers. Adds some real depth with 20 odd guys and girls all sparring. Next class we might have to have 3 or 4 rings going, spc.

Well guys, better go. Tonight we have 3 exciting classes - Boxing, Gracie Jiu Jitsu and Peter Clinches Gracie Jiu Jitsu (No Gi) Class.

The Academy was closed yesterday guys. I had a wedding to go to that I just couldn't miss. Eldon Clifton my Coach, his son Kane, who I have sparred and known for years, was getting married. A lot of you may not know that me and Kane were the only 2 boxers in Otago around 2001.

What a great Maori wedding. Kane wore the Traditional Maori Dress and a couple of great Hakka's, powerful. Sat with Peter Williamson during the wedding, a life long friend and Coach. Also, good to catch up with Riverside Boxing Club from Christchurch. Matt, Deccan Henry and Reece Papuni were there. Reece is in the NZ Team and the number 1 Light Heavy in the country. Great International Fighter, Common Wealth Games, spc and aiming for the Olympics!

Reece, Kane, Ryan, Deccan and Matt with their lovely partners.

More great boxing sparring sessions today with the Australians, also was great to have Riverside Boxing Gym pop in. Great to have the New Zealands number ones in the Academy.

The boys are having hard rolling sessions before lunch time Gracie Jiu Jitsu class. Really good to have Ashley Clinch helping the boys before class and showing some great techniques in class.

Man, what a great day and night at the Academy! Ended up speaking to Royler 3 or 4 different times today on Skype and messages. He was telling me that he's the main event for a BIG MMA show coming up. He started his training camp two weeks ago, I can go over and be apart of it, what an honour that would be, something to think about I guess?

Had another great sparring session with Jezze Glynn and a couple more to go before he goes back to his fight in Queensland. Two hard rolling sessions as well. 1 day session and a night session, getting Peter Clinch, Ashley Clinch, Mike Pascoe and Hammish Te Whata ready for their next MMA Fights.

P.S. Check out Roylers tribute to Peter for winning the ISKA MMA Title and their is also a shout out to Shade and Sam for winning the Southland Champs Boxing Titles.
