true, but it's frustrating. we'll learn a new move or 2 each week, but so rarely come back to them to practice, so it kinda fades from memory and no-one feels confident to use it. even simple things like punches, no real answer to the question of where to strike (and how to place your hand so it makes a good noise but doesn't hurt resulted) in 1 KO and 1 knocked out tooth (neither on my part i hasten to add :D )
i think people would develop faster if they were shown how to build matches and make them interesting, as this way learning new moves has a purpose and a context, which would make it easier to remember.

The slowest part of learning anything new is in the beginning. Once you get going, you'll find it becomes easier.
Don't lose heart grasshopper
if nothing else, it's encouraging, even if i don't think i'm progressing as well as i'd like.

My pleasure, TWC screened the whole event APART from Styles vs Tighe in order to encourage people to buy the DVD.
thanks for the info dude.

FWA website sells the tapes I beleive? British Uprising Three was the event.
man, TELL me someone here has them..
or at least tell me where i can get them :)

James Tighe is one of the smoothest guys I have evr seen in the ring. His transitions between moves put even the aforementioned Storm to shame. His matches with AJ Styles should be shown to any wrestling student as an example of how to mingle high-spots and chain wrestling into a seamless tapestry of a match, which also makes sense wrestling-psychology wise.

that's what his "rookie of the year" thing said. he popped into the academy on the weekend and helped us out structuring our matches and helping us make them flow better and make them interesting, really cool guy.
we learned how to structure an old-school tag match and then put a 6 man tag together to try it out (i had to ref it but it was still cool) and it was sweet to see the stuff he'd taught us working out in the ring, really encouraging :)
