Intercub
December 1st, 2011This Sunday, the team are going in an MMA inter-club in Poole. John Orchard Training has been working with MMA British champion Scott Pooley on wrestling and jujitsu in the Bournemouth based gym, the Bulldog. Training has gone very well for the whole team and everybody is looking forward to the MMA event at the Gladiator Academy. I will post details of how the event goes real soon, for pictures of the event please follow on Facebook and Twitter
White collar boxer Marco Valvo lost a close points decision on Saturday, the Bournemouth fighter was rushed and held by his experienced opponent and couldn’t get his shots off in time. It was a learning experience for the 30 year old boxer, and he will be back in action in the new year
