Leanne,
The first of the two comments from "me" preceding this was written by my close friend Byron Quick- he signed it.
Personally, history is interesting...but I'd rather be training.

I said learn to yield, have no aggression, ego, or attitude. You will never be defeated.

Hello Bex,
I fully take on board what you say about people like Dr Friday, etc etc and we shall endeavor to get copies of the books you mention. Would appreciate it if you could email myself (or Simon) with book titles etc. I'm sure that once we have read them and digested them, they will potentially replace Draegars works in the syllabus as more up-to-date versions.
Thank you very much for your valued view points, I will certainly have a look at the weblinks you have pointed out.
I personally am still very much a "beginner" in terms of Martial Studies, but I'm keen and willing to learn. I expect to make mistakes and comments that will not necesarily be in agreement with others, but thats all part of the learning process and the debate in Martial arts that has been going on for hundreds and hundreds of years. Very few people have the same opinion, what a boring place the world would be if we did!!!
Thank you once again. Regards, Leanne![]()
