Wristlock Seminar with Pete the Greek Letsos

Very lucky to have been at Peter Letsos' wristlock seminar today at Yodha Martial Arts in Northern Ireland. He's an amazing instructor that has opened a treasure chest of offensive options for me in all different positions. Brilliant day.

Pictured is me holding Pete in one of his signature wristlocks lol

Question for anybody working in the Fire & Rescue Service on this sub

I'd like to go down to my local NIFRS station and give something to the crews as a small way of thank you for the shit they've had to put up with in the past 2 months alongside their normal work.

Was just wondering what would most be appreciated by the folks working there?

Tributes paid after man dies falling from east Belfast bonfire

https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/area/east-belfast/news/tributes-paid-after-man-dies-falling-from-east-belfast-bonfire/a/158597702.html

Tributes have been paid to a man who died in a “tragic accident” after falling from a Belfast bonfire last night.

Its understood that Warren “AKA” Lyttle passed away yesterday evening at around 1am following the incident at the east Belfast pyre.

In a statement posted online, Braniel Bonfire committee, Braniel Loyal Flute Band and Braniel community group said: “Our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies are with Warren’s family, friends and everyone who knew and loved him at this incredibly difficult time.

“As a community, we are heartbroken by this tragic loss and ask that everyone keeps his loved ones in their prayers in the days and weeks ahead.”

The statement added that the bonfire will be lit tonight after organisers spoke to the man’s family and said there would be a minute’s silence.

“Following discussions with Warren’s family, they have expressed their wish for the bonfire to proceed as planned. After careful consideration, we have decided to honour their request,” the statement added.

“The bonfire will be lit at 9:00pm on Saturday 11th July. We respectfully ask everyone attending to join us in observing a minute’s silence in Warren’s memory before the bonfire is lit.

“We also ask that, once the bonfire has been lit, everyone pays their respects by dispersing quietly and respectfully afterwards.

“We would ask all those attending to show dignity, compassion and respect for Warren’s family and friends throughout the evening. May Warren rest in peace, and may his family find strength and comfort in the love and support of those around them.”

Meanwhile, friends of the man have also paid tribute online, with one person writing online: “Condolences to Warren’s family after last night’s accident at Braniel bonfire.”

My .303 1873 Martini Henry breech loading carbine

This is a more historically interesting one than my previous post. It's a Martini Henry from 1873, that was rechambered from .577 black powder cartridges to the newer .303 British some time around 1895-1897, to use as a stop-gap until magazine-fed rifles became adopted.

This particular one is believed to have been used in the Second Boer War by the Royal Ulster Rifles regiment. These carbines were eventually phased out in favour of guns like the magazine-fed Lee Enfield, which used the same calibre but allowed for faster follow up shots.

I do have an accompanying sling and bayonet, but the bayonet in particular isn't appropriate for use.
