Today marks a bit of a milestone… This is the first ever recording in the new studio setup. It’s still a work in progress, but the goal is simple — create a space where I can consistently film quality content for the community. Also, a new training partner arrived today… BOB (Body Opponent Bag) 👊 So it seemed like the perfect opportunity to test both things at the same time: • Test the studio setup • Test the lighting and filming • And test BOB to see how he holds up 😅 This is very much the “version 1” of the studio, but it’s all part of the process. The aim is to keep improving the space and keep producing useful training content for everyone here. Let me know what you think of the setup — and poor BOB taking the first round of punishment.

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).
