How good, just back from the gym and then off to my favourite coffee shop for bacon and egg roll with my favourite people for birthday breakfast

Life with coffee

Got back from teaching in Sri Lanka that went well, not every day. Do you get to train with Shinganori Sato Sensei, coach of world kata champion. Thanks to a good mate, Michael Patrick Shihan, for his support it was a great help.
Then 10 days later off to Japan for 8 days in Omagari Daisen Provence. Then, I went down to Sendai for the 51st JKF Gojukai Championships where I competed. Was a great success thanks to Kylie, my daughter, who successfully tested for her 5th Dan at 39 a feat I accomplished at 48 well done and welcome to the shihan club. Also, a big shout out to my friend and a man who inspired me to keep pushing Michael Cross.
Overall, my goal was to train for the 7 days in Omagari and then compete in the 51st JKF Gojukai Championships, not bad 10 weeks from surgery.
Also, my good friend Stacey Karetsian Shihan scooped the Kata with 1st place and is also a first for a Westerner.
My fitness is improving each day and classes are improving.
Stay tuned to my accomplished tasks.

Recovery continues

Wow, working on your fitness is not easy after the majority of my life, keeping myself fit with exercise each day. Then major surgery on hipsvtrally brought me back to the pack. Now, start to stretch out and push the boundaries. Make you appreciate your clients' struggles.
