Hi
My name is Ian and Ive found my way here thanks to Al Peasland's newsletter. I'm already lucky enough to know Al and Mick and look forward to making new friends on here. My main discipline is Shotokan karate which Ive done for 18yrs and hold a 2nd dan (I should have progressed higher by now but shift work prevents me training as much as Id like and I normally get told to grade when my sensei decides Ive left it too long!). Since the day I started training I also had an interest in Geoff Thompson's stuff because Watch my Back was one of the many books I picked up from my library when I raided it for MA stuff. I eventually got my ambition and travelled to Coventry to train with Geoff and went onto make some great friends from that seminar which eventually led me here! Looking forward to learning from and chatting to you all.
Cheers
Ian
