Over the last few weeks, I have been doing some camp wrestling. I know what you're thinking: all wrestling is pretty camp, Ed. Yes, you're right. It's acting, darlings. SHOWBIZ! Entertainment always: panto at a push. What I am referring to, however, is wrestling FOR camps. Summer camps. It's g...

After months of good intentions, I finally made it down to Camberwell in South London to the This Is Progress wrestling school this morning. There, under the watchful eye Jimmy Havoc, I learned a huge amount about the things I am doing well and the things I am doing badly. This is just as wel...

All my life, I've known about Wycombe Judo Centre. When I was a tiny child, my mum took me there to learn gymnastics. (For those who are interested, I ...
