A Day on the Journey - 'G5'  Success!!!
After 2 days seminar training with 'Eyal Yanilov' followed by a day long grading,
I achieved my G5 grade as did a few of my buddies.
Congratulations go to 'Roger Ennalls' - G5,
                                    'John Aldcroft'   - G5
                                    'Mat Adkins'- G4
                                    'Mike Hussey' - G4
                                    'Marc Nohr' - G3

Jon Soloman amongst others from the East Finchley Club wished me luck on the Thursday prior to the training/Grading- (Thanks Guys!)
I distinctly remember pointing out that ,
'Yes, I wanted success at the grading but not to get hung up on the grading thing'
Train with energy, commitment, passion, dispassion and always 'scan'

There are plenty of experts out there carrying the scars of battle.
Grades are a good indicator of progression but don't make you bullet proof.

I like others viewed the day as training in addition to grading. A good example can be gleaned from 'Joe Ambrosino-G5' who trained/graded with us in preparation for his expert level.

By the sunday evening I had seized up, even after a nice bottle of Chiraz.
I was faced with a dilemma-Who fixes the sports therapist who fixes everyone else?  Obviously I can't treat myself. After 2 ice baths and general whinging I managed to get an appointment with Jules Bayliss - 07976 719072. Thanks Jules!
