Hi Guys, I forgot to say that this year all proceeds will be going to Meningitis Research.

The Aiki Jutsu is being taken by Douglas Aitken, 2nd Dan.

The Tai Jitsu is now being taken by my Instructor Brian Wildish MBE, 4th Dan :) So you can all see me getting beaten up by someone other than Hig :D
