Hi All,
So you’re like me, young, single and mad about martial arts and/or Japan. Maybe you’re not but you’re mad about martial arts and/or Japan, then I'm your man. I am look to start an exchange program for like minded English and Japanese people to partake in.
We want their Knowledge and ablities and I should think they would like our culture and to learn or improve there English. So both parties have something to gain.
At the end of last year I found myself in a situation that at best was poor. My job was affecting my sleep and this meant I had to change my free time life style in order to keep up with my work set targets. I had to cut back on my karate and other hobbies. I believe that my karate is of a very high standard and I will be competing in the FSKA world Championship at the end of September.
So I made the choice to stop my job and look for a new career. I also said to myself what do I want to do. Well one of the thing I wanted to do was go to Japan and study martial arts out there and that’s what I am doing. On the 31st May 2010 I leave for Tokyo. I will be staying in Japan for three months and I well be doing this on a budget of just over £5000 that I have been saving over the last 5months.

Welcome or Yookoso
Yookoso,
This Blog has been put together as part of my travels around the globe to study martial arts. The first part of my blog and the contents of it will be focused on the study of the Japanese arts. So I am travelling to Japan on 31st May 2010 to start my journey.
I am a strong believer that all forms of martail arts have their strong and weak points. As many great masters will tell you, to understand the way of your enemy (opponent) is to defeat them.
I take no side with any one martial art, but I do believe that a person must study a system or style to it's fullest to gain a greater understanding before the weakness or strengths can be identerfied.
Therefore I have devoted my lift to the martial arts.
