ROB_AKKA   10 #86 Posted August 6, 2005 hi freddylee hows things m8 ? yeah i know martin fitz raff raymond zoe john all the old skool we all got our 1st dans together i know of mick, as my main club is in grimsby he has is own dojo/gym down there dont know mick and dale personally  i myself prefer the semi-contact side of fighting but as i sustained an injury on my hand which never quite healed after the operation stops me competing in both. i usually take part in kata now and put all my experience towards the students who want to fight in tournaments i get a buzz from it though they do ok and hold there own well i do teach em full contact & semi so they get to enter both sections if they wish  and yeah m8 would be good to pop down sometime  is it full contact u guys into or do you compete in both?   ROB:clap: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Freddylee   10 #87 Posted August 6, 2005 Hi Rob This is what we do: Light continuous for the novices Then its either Full contact(kicks above waist american style) or Thaiboxing. there seems to be an even split at the club for who wants to do FC and who wants to fight Thai. The syllabus is flexible with our club. tell you what Raff O Connor was a Hard Mudda F***** back in the days and no one alive can kick like fitzroy did!!! You know fitzroy willises brother alan willis is still training and has shins of steel! Paul Bradshaw lives somewhere near grimsby. I did prefer paul bradshaw to the rest. Do you remember Claude or Dannus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Freddylee   10 #89 Posted August 7, 2005 Dannus Lee is now called Abdul Haqq Hes a converted muslim and goes to the mosque every friday. He doesnt really train much now and has now balloooned up to 14(or was it 15 ) stone. He spends a lot of time in asian restaurants and fried chicken joints/kebab houses.  Really nice lad dannus is, was a good boxer too.  So you never heard of Claude Evans then?

MTheo   10 #93 Posted August 7, 2005 brazilian dance based martial arts  as seen on the bbc1 intro sequence occasionally   i think brazillian....now im doubting my own knowledge! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Crayfish   10 #94 Posted August 7, 2005 Yes its brazilian! I've been doing it for about a year at the university club - it only runs in term time but should be back september / october  The teachers really good and everyone helps each other out so its good for a beginner - someone with a very low level of fitness / flexibility / acrobatic ability might find it a little hard going but its all good fun.  http://www.shef.ac.uk/shef-capoeira/ training times should be posted on there when it starts back!

ANVIL Â Â 10 #96 Posted August 9, 2005 Originally posted by ROB_AKKA semi contact stop start ie points fighting. Â Freddy, are you feeling ok? Normally when someone mentions these words in relation to kickboxing you froth at the mouth and launch into a verbal tirade, now you're offering your friendship! what gives? are you born again??
