Any time you want to visit Birmingham we will make you very welcome. If you want to make the most of it by doing two days and getting some 121 in with Mick Broster then you wont need to worry about accommodation it will be our pleasure mate a 10P Warrior is yet to pay to stay with us.

I don't want to name names, but if it is him, and as there is only one Royce Gracie black belt in Plymouth it's more than likely the same dude. Then that I explains a lot of the animosity towards 10P and Eddie. But it's so closed minded to say Gracie Jiu Jitsu is all you need. That mentality goes back to pre UFC mentality that there's only one superior style. Which is part reason I have decided to leave. The other is the attitude. I won't go into too much detail, but let's just say it's a crabs in a bucket mentality. I'm looking forward to meeting you guys:)

I feel extremely chagrined and astonished that I've meandered through life to the ripe age of 30 and never heard the "Crabs in a Bucket" metaphor before this moment. This is such a perfectly apt description of my professional, personal, and inner lives that I can practically hear the claws clack-clack-clacking while I (try to) sleep. Thank you for enlightening me.
