Firstly, I want to introduce our two new cats Jack and Joe. This makes our total tally of cats in our household to three! Josie is the oldest at two and a half and she is a Maine Coon; the largest domestic cat in the world and our other two who are still kittens are […]
Put quite simply. Through many years of dedication, not giving up and never taking her training for granted and of course always striving to improve her skill set and fighting fitness. Incorporating the principles and a lot more. Not making excuses when she has just come of a 12 hour night shift at the hospital. […]
Well, our good friend and student of self defence and Filipino martial arts did it… He passed his first promotion assessment straight after taking part in my senior Combat Self Defence class.
