    The training session was very enjoyable. Phil and Justin did a great job. It was also great to meet a few of you in person, t'was great craic . Deffo feeling a few bumps and bruises already (thanks in part to CM Punked's clothesline from hell :P ) so I can imagine I'm gonna be in bits tomorrow. I reckon I'll be going back though. Wednesday's are better for me so I might show my face this Wednesday.

    Guys..Phil and Justin...Thanks a lot for organising the session today. You were very generous with your time and it was a very enjoyable experience (even for the oldest participant). Sorry I had to leave early. I would have liked the suplex session. I will try to make it back again. Probably on a Sunday. It's a very different experience wrestling for real and I appreciate more the skill of people I have watched on TV for years.

    Today was so much fun. :D
    Regardless of my back, legs, arms and hands being in bits it was excellent none the less.
    There was 6 of us there, which to me seemed ideal for us. If any of you were in two minds and decided not to go today im not going to tell you how silly a decision that was but instead tell you that if another one of these are organised dont be on the fence about it.
    Phil and Justin were above professional and were great instructors and thankfully disregarded the thought of making us all feel like s/marks. :)

    Although, i did get called Mr. Cena but it was all in fun and jest. I will definitely be back once funds improve and allow me to commit.

    Thanks once again to the legends that are Justin and Phil, extremely generous of you guys giving up your Saturday afternoon (a sunny Saturday at that) and you's were both excellent teachers.

    Really appreciated the personal touch and advise that you gave when we were paired up doing the chain wrestling, found that the most difficult to grasp (#failure) but your instruction was crystal clear. Sam was great too.

    Loved the rope and turnbuckle running, got a great buzz doing that.

    The pain in my arms, legs, upper and lower back, throat, a$$, neck, and stomach was worth every minute, will definitely look into attending a few more classes again.

    Im curious to know, did anyone go in thinking they were great, run the ropes and fall down in agony when they realise how tight they are? Always wanted to see that happen. :pac:

    Glad everyone enjoyed it and thus far appears to have survived.

    Was in bits yesterday but it was definitely worth it! If there was another day organised like Saturday I would highly recommend to the people that missed out that you give it a go. You won't regret it.

    I work most Wednesday nights but good luck though man and definitely PM me to let me know how you got on. I would like to go back soon especially with another beginner to have someone to work with.

    Is your Back not still in bits from Saturday? I'm still in agony but no pain no game though right :cool:

    Mine was until today. Take a bath or grab some muscle rub, that stuff helps a hell of a lot.

    Going to aim for this day next week as my first session.

    So I went last night and it was great craic again. The fitness work was definitely more intense but I enjoyed it.

    We were given a spot to do in the ring as part of the fitness training after which we paired up and we were told to do the same spot but add our own finish to it. I was paired with a lad who has been there a while so naturally he came up with the finish but t'was great craic altogether.

    There were a few more regulars down last night and there was a good atmosphere in the gym. All the lads were very friendly and were constantly giving me pointers.

    Luckily I have a bit of protein mix back in the apartment so had a shake before and after training so I don't feel nearly as sore today. Would recommend getting some if you are planning on coming down again because you'll be in agony the next day otherwise.

    What finish did he come up with, dick?
