Just finished training, 1 hour of basics, 30 mins on the punch bag, 1hour of forms and 30 mins of balance work and flexibility work to finish off.
I feel great... Now for a high protein lunch of tuna and kidney beans in pitta bread.

Ball, Parliamentary Rugby and Paperwork!
The weekend was full of activity. The WJO Autumn Ball & presentation Evening was on the Saturday and was a huge success. Instructors gave out their Student of the Year awards and Most Improved Student awards. This was great to see as new people are coming through the Jado Kuin Do system and are enjoying the benefits of doing so.
The 'Instructor of the Year' awards were also given out and the winner (the lucky chap) won a weekend away for two in Paris! It was great to witness an evening full of such success.
Sunday afternoon was also a busy time for me. I was asked to played rugby for the Parliamentary England Rugby Team at Rugby School. The game took place on 'The Close' (where William Webb Ellis first picked up the ball and ran with it - thus creating the game of rugby). It was excellent to play with all the members of Parliament and then have dinner and drinks afterwards (my hamstrings are rather sore though).
Yesterday I spent most of the day in meetings at Aston Villa FC regarding the Combat Hall Of Fame awards.
Know i am back at the office and making my way through all of my paperwork which follows being out of the office for two days. Ahh lovely administration.....

Just got back from Birmingham
This weekend has been really special but very tiring. The final preparation for the WJO Autumn Ball started on Friday which was ongoing until mid day Saturday. The Ball on the Saturday was fantastic and the Sunday turned out to be just as much fun. I have only just got in from meetings all day in Birmingham at Aston Villa FC. I will blog tomorrow with all of the finer details as my bed is calling.

Gradings & Blackbeltss
I have had an exceptional few weeks. Grading time is always providing the perfect chance for me to check standards. I have to say so far I have never been disappointed.
Well done to all of those who graded today, grading is not an easy thing to do no matter what level you are at. But an extra well done goes out to Susan Wray, Kara Macleod, Sarah Ashford, Amy Welbourne, Luke Gowen and Delilah Walton for passing their Blackbelt 1st Degree today and Hazel Williams, Lewis Wundowa, Ant Harris and Jacob Springthorpe and Jacob Ogden Jr for passing their Blackbelt 2nd Degree. Truly inspirational!
