Thanks man. Actually, it was pretty easy to write, as the big O was so free about the whole experience, I barely had to ask him any questions.

The biggest bugger was condensing the 10 pages of notes I took into what ended up in the article!

Hi Ben, I really enjoyed the training on Thursday, so thankyou very much for that! I think I will suggest we do the ten sets of ten men in my club this week. Kenshikan members were all really friendly and fun to train with! I hope to get the chance to come back to Melbourne soon.

Cheers. It'd be nice if we could take a whack at each other, if not perhaps a beer.

Sorry for my part in derailing the thread. I really don't think it was all that nasty and it certainly wasn't my intention to flame it up.

thanks for the rep =)

You're joking! He says "shugyosha"? BTW Father Ted has just returned to Aus TV of a Friday night. Another reason to look forward to Friday. b
