Don’t you forget about me

Well I will be away for a few days next week and probably not doing too much actively online but there is a mass of stuff all to come which I am very excited about.

I have a new logo in the works done by my very talented mate Richard see his work here

My gum shield fitting for the review is due next week which I am looking forward too and also have the same old dentist fear so let’s see how at ease I am put.

The Roy Dean No Gi app review will be up soon as will the huge Draculino subscription app and website review, I have also been asked to review a couple of other BJJ apps and will be going through these over the next few days, initial glimpse looks good so far.

The Tatami Gi review is well under way with some great photo’s done, measurements, rolling, more photo’s, washing and more measuring already having taken place and I think I might be falling in love, however I have had word from a couple of other suitors who hopefully I can come to a Gi review arrangement with so I will not commit too soon

My interview with Ross Pettifer has been completed and he is a compelling person to talk to this will be going into a newly redesigned MMAD magazine shortly so watch this space as the Ross Pettifer story has only just begun, this is a man going places.

I also have a fascinating interview with John Goldson owner of the Forge Gym where I train talking to him about everything from the future of BJJ and MMA in the North as well as the time he was a corner man to an iconic UFC fighter.

Most recently my good mate Rob from across the pond has hooked me up with Team Quest BJJ instructor Carlos Zapata read about him here which is very exciting.

Finally I have a BIG announcement (yes it is that big) about a BJJ Hall of Fame Black Belt and multiple world champion coming up in the next few days.

Watch this space and come along with me I promise an interesting journey if nothing else

Fight Bite – Custom Gum Shields

I honestly believe that one of the best things that you can spend your money on as a fighter/casual roller or even just to enter the odd comp is a custom made gum shield. I personally have always struggled with gum shields all through my rugby and into BJJ and got myself a custom dentist one which has been a great buy but never quite 100% solved the problem of my clicking jaw, it did solve pretty much every other one. Admittedly this comes from having my jaw broken or out of socket a few times and no amazingly I did not do this eating.

Tonight I met a gent called Haroon Nawaz who had come down with some custom made gum shields for a few guys at the gym, my first thought was that they looked very cool, and also very good quality. He then gave me a sample to have a look at and that also seemed very good.

Then Haroon really impressed me by having a look at my gum shield and telling me what issues he thought it would cause me and how it could be improved, he seemed pretty much on the money.

The result was that we agreed I would go through the custom process with him and run a full review as he is about to launch a new website fightbite (official link coming soon) and get into the market.

All I have seen so far suggests a good product well made but the review will tell us more as I go from impression right through to gum shield, so watch this space.
