The Dozen with Liam Tuffs · Confessions of a PARA: Tom Pardoe · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

I only discovered this the other night.

Thingwall.

And do you know what that means?

Assembly field.

Right.

Assembly field.

Thingwall means that's a mile up the road from where we train.

And on the assembly field, I think it's a parliament.

So I'm pretty sure they'll do the...

training there Vikings wrestling wrestling's one of the oldest forms of martial arts so they're wrestling they're worshipping they're training now although they were worshipping something different it doesn't matter they're worshipping something that's bigger than themselves that's what we're getting across is you're there you're feeling that connection to something that's greater than you you're getting out your comfort zone we rock up to the park we'll speak to the lads and it's funny because everyone's a little bit like quiet in a vulnerable state they never met one another but

And speak to the lads.

And depending if I'm there, because Duffy's, I'm with my Christianity more than Duffy.

Duffy's not quite there yet.

He believes, he believes he's got that higher power.

I'll open the session if I'm there and I feel like the moment's right, I'll say a prayer for the men, or if we've just finished a hard wrestling factor, so we'll switch it up to partner drills, partner carries, you know what I mean?

You've got men, all different backgrounds, you're putting one on another's shoulder, feeling that sense of brotherhood, running across the field, dropping another one, getting in there,

It's exactly, we take what we've learned.

So let's say battle PT sessions in the army, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu backgrounds, Duffy's a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, I'm a purple belt.

I've fell off of my Jiu-Jitsu though because I just train to enjoy it now.

So we implement that into the start of the session, which is the wrestling side of things, the partnered stuff.
