Tribe,
Just a quick note to say I managed to make it to the last 16 in senior traditional black belt kumite at the British championships this afternoon. I narrowly missed the quarter finals losing on a split decision 2-1 to a member of the English team. I also was the last remaining scotsman in the competition.
It was a tough decision whether or not to compete as (if you checkout my blog) I've been out of training for 2 weeks after suffering a bad flu virus and was no where near 100%, but I'm happy I fought now as it has shown I'm within touching distance of my goal of winning the British title.
A big thank you to everyone at RMAX for their encouragement, especially Faculty Coach Wilson for his fantastic help in June. Now a few days off before the heavy final preparations for flowfighting begin!
