CALIFORNIA...

"When there's a knife in the hand, there's hope in the heart" - Lynn C Thompson

Hi
Sorry I haven't updated this blog for a while...
Training has been intense and my internet access has been really limited..

I've been trying to keep people updated using facebook and twitter while I've been going, but..oh boy..it's been wild...

I've been training here in California for a while now. Working on everything from my sword fighting to my kettlebells with some of the best coaches in the world.
I have to make a special mention to Lynn Thompson at cold Steel...his generosity and patience with a out of shape amateur student has been incredible.
I've been training with Doug Nepodal, Luke LaFontaine, Ron Balicki, Russel Seveney, Jason Heck and of course Lynn Thompson every day for two weeks now...

I'll go back through this post in the UK when I get back and add photos and links for people..

I've never trained so hard or with such intensity...

I'm beat up,battered and broken. I have a damaged tendon in my left wrist, one in my right arm, a bruised rib or two and plenty of cuts and bruises...and tomorrow i fight!
I'm very, very scared and just a little bit excited

Everything I've done for the last 9 months has been leading up to this moment

wish me luck!

Andy
