The bat sign

Someone asked me the other day why i have the bat on target as my club sign motif. do i love batman, do i study bats, is it a secret symbol. why why the bat.

their is no religious or secret connection. the reason i have the bat as my symbol is that i like the way the bat moves. erratic the same way many fights in the street are. fight are not smooth flowing work of arts like a bird flying in the sky. they are fast vigorous erratic one min you see something then you miss it with a fraction of a second, the exact same way a bat flies at night.

constant movement and never stopping the same way systema concepts should be.

the target around the bat is just for added visual to make it look good.

so there you go lol. nothing special it is what it is.

Raw Week

Next week i have invited all my guys who are taking part in the RCI course to come train with me. i will be treating it as a normal day at work. i want to set out for a 8 hour day practice, well might have a wee break in between. still need to work on some things but hopefully by next week we will be rid of the cobwebs.

safe as fuck

sleep

I have to get myself into a better sleep patter guys. this staying up late on comps are not good for you. its great getting up in the morning if you don't have work to go to . but very difficult if you know you have to go out and make a living.

sometimes you just write shit on these kind of things. i am prob better making vid blogs and posting them. maybe even start doing tech to teach.

Great reading material

Last night after my class I received a email from someone. It was like an ebook. But what a read. It has opened my eyes to some of the ways I used to train but now don't. I suppose the original way was misinformed to me. So I will carry on reading and hopefully understand. Stay tuned for next weeks. Ray journey.

Closing

A wee note guys to let yous know that I will be closing my coatbridge class when I get back from wales. It is not feasible to keep it open in my eyes. Thank you to the ones who have supported me from coatbridge. I would need more support the guys in that area to keep it open and we are not getting a regular crowed.

Recipes for a hotel room

Ok guys as you may or may not know I am off to wales at the end of next month. I am away for a few days gonna be staying in a hotel. I am going to be training 12 hours a day. I won't have access to a kitchen so I have been looking for ways to cook food using just a kettle or a iron. These two items you can usually find in a hotel room. So my next blog will be on the foods and ways I am gonna try. Safe as fuck.
