Long overdue

Hi all, Sorry for the long overdue absent posts to the blog had some busy times family wise. well here we go I'll try and get everything in: On the 22nd Feb we had Guro David Onuma along to conduct our yearly anniversary seminar. Guro D taught all night covering BJJ & Jun Fan JKD trapping, he checked out everyones trapping & was very impressed. We had gradings in March and Kev & Jez did their Kali (MKG) Level 2 and were tested over three hours and did well. Kev also did his Panantukan (MKG) Level 2 privately and again performed very well over three hours worth of technique, boxing rounds & sensitivity drills. On the 22nd April we had the first warriors circle of 2012, where the participants have to complete the following: 1x 3 min round of Boxing 1x 3min round of Grappling 1x 3min round of Muay Thai 1x 3min round of Stick Fighting 1x 3min round of Knife Sparring 1 conditioning drill of your choice. Well done to Edd, Ryan, Kev, Colyn & our newest member to the HMA Warriors Circle Asher, who walked away with nice big lump on his hand from the stick sparring. Thats it for now folks but stay tuned for more updates. Cheers G
