Tales from inside the cage

Good slam, poor hair



Having finally got a few sessions inside the HEX, I can say that it is most definitely... small! There's no escape from some serious takedowns, and Ken apparently loves the fact that no matter where you are, you're always in range for some painful kicks to the legs. I made the mistake of doing some pro stuff with Paul 3, and proceeded to spend the remaining 3min 59sec avoiding the headshots that kept raining down from above. Pulling guard is not an option.

Advice - wear your gloves even if only grappling in cage to avoid lacerations on especially the wrists.
Plus dont hang on to cage to avoid takedowns, you may leave your detached fingers wrapped around the fence!

I have started to condition my skin with sand paper & a cheese grater to avoid any such lacerations. I also bath in parrafin...mental note to self, never have a relaxing candle lit bath.

I'm also a parrafin addict, lets go to Tesco, shoplift some E45 cream, industrial sander and bbq firelighters and....heaven.

That's fine by me... er, except the bath bit.
