iv got to take an "inspiration day" at work means i get a day off to do something inspiring or get inspired in some way. free holiday for work but i need to report back on it.
ideally id like to do something fun for 1 day between now and the end of december, MMA related would be great. i cant lie in bed and do nothing, needs to be something different.
Looking to see if anyone had fights/shows or even just the gym opened during the day and looking for someone to sweep mats, watch training .. anything etc... and they wouldnt mind someone hanging around their club, show, training etc... for a few hours taking a few photos, helping out in some way or another and evenutally doing a presentation back at my work about it?
If its something you reckon could be done drop me a PM.
your help really is appreciated.

Absolute Combat on the 28th of this month, pretty local as well. If a Saturdays no good you could ask the promoters to hang about the weigh in and be inspired by how grumpy people get and by how much weight they can gain in 4 hours. It's local for you is it not?

I used to get those inspiration days at one of my last jobs. They sound good but they are actually a pain in the arse because you've got to justify what you've done.

i had a great day yesterday, went to the griphouse watched some thai sparring. great to see guys like Paul MVeigh, James Doolan and Sean Wright sparring.
I Also got to see i think her name is Joanne training? as i was sat behind the ring, this girl trained from the start to the end with alternate partners every round and still seemed fresh at the end. its a tribute to the training and the dedication of the fighters that on a normal thursday morning there were 23 people in the gym all going at it straight for the whole time.
I then went to the BJJ class and learned some cool transitions to back, even tho i couldnt get it il keep trying it. I also got subbed about a million times by big john and paul mcveigh, got popoplataed lol i dont even know what it was but i thought my shoulder joint was going to pop.
I also got wristlocked once and nearly twice if it wasnt for the shame of tapping to a wristlock i wouldv tapped the 2nd time too.
i got a couple of pics and tried to take a video but wasnt sure if that wouldv been cool with fights coming up etc..
I reckon if i were going to get into MMA/BJJ/Thai proper it would definatly be worth the journey from mines to the griphouse, awesome gym with great and friendly guys and girls.
Thanks again Paul
