All in a year...

I started training when i was 10 years old. I trained for a year and a half and attained the level of 5th kyu. Then i stopped! I did not put a gi on again for another 10 years. I started training again in late April 2007. That means that in a few weeks time I will have been back in training for a full year. It's been a fantastic year and I feel as if I have got myself back up to the standard I was when I stopped all those years ago. Two gradings, four weekend courses and about twenty injuries later, I am as excited as I was when I started. Returning to training has been about the best thing I've done in a long time! I'd like to thank Sensei Mike, Senior instructor at Haxby and Wigginton, for all his help and guidance over the past year along with Sensei Ian. Thank you, also, to Sensei Keith, senior instructor at York.



Hopefully, the next year will be even better than the last.
