Yesterday i spent the day in Loughborough at peter skillens new gym,its always good to train with new people and after his kind offer how could i refuse....with peters back ground in self defence/kickboxing,i knew i would be throwing a kick or two and doing some stuff that was new but i really enjoyed it,its always good to test new waters,and try unfamiliar things from weapons to kicks were my legs would never reach 
Peter was looking pretty sharp,its clear to me that hes put some serious time in,since i started training the one thing ive always been without was a good long term training partner its a shame we don’t live nearer because he would be seeing a lot more of me
Got to say I'm aching a bit today(wait till tomorrow) and yes peter particularly the bits you repeatedly hit with knuckles/elbows etc and i think the leg will be with me a while yet thanks for that
Training in bare feet was new to me as well,in fact the toe nail i ripped off saved me from hunger on the last leg of the train journey home glad i kept it
I think sometimes people keep clear of others just because they have different preferences,when their losing out on new training experiences and growing more,i even had a go at punching and peter did a few slaps mainly on my face,hopfully i changed his opinion slightly on the openhand
Later in the day i got to meet john skillen and with the extra chilli sauce tour as well how could i go wrong
I just want to say thanks alot to peter for putting up with me for the day
cheers
