Back from the past - martial arts

Sat, 08 May 2004 21:48:54 +0000

Well, after over 4 years, and an extra 10 kilos in weight, I went back to karate on a formal basis today. The martial arts are back in my life!

I used to train in the UK in Shotokan karate, under a great instructor called Dave Thomson in Laceby and Aiden Trimble in Nottingham whilst I was in University. That was then. This is now.

I’ve now joined a small, new local club though the difference is that this is Kyokushin karate which has slightly different moves and stances, so it’s going to be an interesting summer!

All I need to do now is get rid of that extra 10Kg.

Lay off the Bloomberg junk food and do aerobics 4 times a week…or swallow a tapeworm :-0

I tried the tapeworm, but it just died after a night at Barbacoa. They just don’t make parasite’s like they used to. As for the BBG kitchen, the company is doing a good job of keeping me out of there nowadays…
