Bear on a Rampage
Two campers were hiking in the forest when all of a sudden a bear jumps out of a bush and starts chasing them. Both campers start running for their lives, when one of them stops and starts to put on his running shoes.
His partner says, "What are you doing? You can't outrun a bear!"
His friend replies, "I don't have to outrun the bear, I only have to outrun you!"

After the British Championships last weekend we are now looking at a maximum of 350 competitors for the world champs any more and we will need a bigger venue. A bigger venue this time around is now not a practical option. There are many new instructors and Master instructors interested in the IGTSDA championships so get your entry forms in ASAP or you maybe to late.
The championship venue is outside the £5 congestion charge zone for central London. (Its very easy to get to from the M11)
Team events, please try to have Black Belts in all the teams events if possible and do not make extra teams with coloured belts.

7/ Fantastic Breaking seminar
Sunday 20th April we had a breaking seminar at Sawtry sports centre. Students from as far away as Alness (600miles) attended. All students were taught two different ways to perform a one inch break.
Five elements, MBB, wave form techniques were demonstrated and by the end of the class all students had a good grip on the fundamentals (Sounds painful).
Lots of quantum leaps for me, new Ki Aerial theories/applications and energy vessel theories/applications.
New energetic techniques were introduced and we finished with the new Bong forms
8/ Scotland seminar 19th April 2003 Feedback..............
Hello Mark, thanks for the Easter seminar. I like the new bong forms, very practical 'combat applications' and not like the twirly, whack-yourself-in-the-gall bladder/spleen-ouch old forms. I can see them being enjoyed and not endured.
Your Ki-Do info was well received. Still quite hard to comprehend but you can't just discount it! It's very addictive and the possibilities and applications are endless.
All advantages over non-believers gratefully received!
See you at the world's.
Phil Herring

Hi Mark
Great seminar once again at the weekend. The new Bo Staff forms are great, everyone I've spoken to has said they love them. Liked the Chil Sun forms very much and I'm looking forward to learning more of them at the next seminar.
