I’ve decided to create a dedicated filming space for our Skool community. Yes… I’m that committed to making sure we have a place to film better lessons, drills, breakdowns, and courses for everyone here. Up until now a lot of the videos have been filmed wherever I could make space — but having a proper setup will make a big difference for the quality of the content moving forward. This photo/video is the “before” stage. Soon this space will be transformed into a small studio where I’ll be filming: • Eskrima lessons • Drill breakdowns • Course material • Community challenges • Training concepts and ideas This community keeps growing and I want the content quality to grow with it. I’ll post updates as the studio starts to take shape. Big things coming. 👊

My good friend and training partner Joe built this awesome Eskrima striking dummy for me. It’s made from tyres, super durable, and gives me something solid to aim at when training my stick strikes. Perfect for working angles, accuracy, and power. But every good training partner deserves a name… and right now this guy doesn’t have one. So I’m throwing it over to the community 👊 What should we name the dummy? Drop your suggestions in the comments. The best name wins… and will forever live in martial arts history (or at least in my back garden).

Happy Sunday gents, hope you’ve all had a good week. It’s time for our Weekly Wins post. This is where we share something positive from the week—big or small. It could be something in martial arts, training, fitness, or life in general. I’ll kick things off. My win this week is that I’ve been pretty consistent with my extra gym training. Nothing fancy, just showing up and putting the work in. I’m definitely feeling it in the legs and chest though! Another focus for me has been hydration. Because I’m training more, I’ve been trying to hit 64oz of water a day. The downside… I’m pissing like a racehorse 🤦‍♂️ but I suppose that’s the price of staying hydrated. Your turn 👇 What’s been your win this week?

I’d love to get a feel for everyone’s experience level in the community so I can create content that helps you most 👊 I know we’ve got a real mix here: • Complete beginners who are keen to learn • Experienced martial artists new to Eskrima • People with a few years of Eskrima under their belt • Veterans with 20+ years of training Where do you fit in right now? Drop a comment below and let me know: 1️⃣ Total beginner 2️⃣ Martial arts experience but new to Eskrima 3️⃣ Eskrima for a few years 4️⃣ 10+ years experience Bonus question: What’s ONE thing you most want to improve right now? (flow, basics, sparring, footwork, drills, teaching, etc.) This will really help me tailor future videos, drills, and courses to the community 🙏

You’re trapped in a building. A horde of zombies is closing in. This table of antique weapons is all you’ve got. ⚔️ You can only pick ONE. There’s no right answer… Only survival 😈 👇 Drop your weapon choice in the comments and tell us WHY Bonus points if you explain your strategy (speed, power, range, intimidation, etc). Would love to see what everyone goes for!
