Best of luck with the day ,, I will be in ireland celebrating my mothers birthday but will raise a glass to our Koyo.. Regards Alan
Im still working in Belgium. Have a blast to all who make it and best repsects to Slim's family and friends. Bill gave a great example of the spirit of MA over many, many years; and was also very funny and informative - to everyone, on this site.
Sensei Coyle's Memorial Seminar was a great success. With 5 hours mat time, everyone who attended done brilliantly. Lots of good hard training just the way Koyo would have liked it. Will post some photos in the near future. Cheers, Chris.
