The great Sprawl n Brawl Mixed Martial Arts event that was held in April is revisited now thanks to our chums over at Gymrat Heroes.  Great stuff!

Saturday 19th June 2010 sees the Sprawl n Brawl Mixed Martial Arts contest going ahead once again for another series of bouts.  As before, it is taking place at the Ivy Leaf on Coventry Road, Sheldon.

Doors open at 6:30pm, with the first fight at 7pm.

Like last time, it should be another cracking night.  Come and see The Next Generation if you can get a ticket!

We got a new Kids Muay Thai class going on – with new timetable flyers and promo posters up and about.

Pick one up if you’re interested!

Our very own MMA man Chris Rice, is taking on the American John Doyle this evening in the West Point Arena, in Exeter.

In the organisers own words:

Seasoned MMA veteran John Doyle (10-10-0) steps into the cage looking to end his losing streak, facing UK’s very own Chris Rice (15-7-0). Doyle, a 33 year old native of Philadelphia, USA is coming off three submission losses and a majority decision loss, where as Rice is enjoying a winning streak with wins over Rolandas Sicakukas at Ultimate Gladiators (heel hook) and an arm bar win over Aurelijus Kerpe at AM – Night of Champions. With both fighters hungry for victory this looks on paper one of the most anticipated fights of the night.

Best of luck to Chris – hope he can do as well as the student he teaches in his own MMA Academy, Sprawl n Brawl !

Ever wondered what the staff at the gym get up to in their own time?
How do they relax?  Where do they go?  What do they do to get a mind break from it all??

That’s what this new photo gallery is all about!  Check out the photos to see how Stevie B’s Gym staff take a timeout.

What do you do to take a break?
