Jeff Monson & Black Rose Sunday 11th March | SOUND THE ALARM!

A few years ago members of the Whitechapel Anarchist Group and other local activists based around the London Action Resource Centre (LARC 62 Fieldgate Street E11ES) created Black Rose Martial Arts. The original intention was simply to have a healthly alternative to the hedonism of radical politics in the form of free weekly training in wrestling and mixed martial arts.

Since it’s inception Black Rose has grown from strength to strength mainly due to the dedication of committed activists and the input of a wide range of incredible people to share skills and build confidence. The sessions have engaged a wide range of men and women, building a large collective around the project and has recently expanded into a kids club as well in the shape of Black Thorn.

Jeff Monson: The Russia Trip » Inter Antifa Russia

Well guys I had a very frustrating fight as you know. Trained really hard on getting in on the inside but didn’t carry out the game plan at all for some reason. So basically we ended up having a kickboxing match. That didn’t turn out so good…lol.

Ended up breaking my leg in the second round from the one kick I checked in the match. After the fight I had a choice of two hospitals. One for everyday folks and one for visitors and government officials. I picked the local everyday folk hospital as I was told it was closer to the arena. I’m obviously not a big fan of the medical industrial complex in the US as it is profit driven however, the experience at this hospital did make me appreciate the comfort of health care in this country. Upon arrival there were ER staff smoking in the lobby. The hallways were full of wandering patients that looked like they were just out of a civil war battle. I had to fight with one of the doctors to avoid having my skull x-rayed. Eventually I got an x-ray for my leg which showed it was broken (something I already knew) and had it casted. I got 16 stitches on the inside and outside of my lip with a material that could of passed for chicken wire. It was so sharp it was making my gums bleed so I took them out myself. Saying that, the doctors were very kind and despite the inadequate medical equipment/supplies they knew what they were doing.
