    Some of you may have noticed I've been a bit absent. Aside from a broken and now replaced laptop I've been making up my mind and decided to take a break from teaching (publicly) for a while. I've been teaching for about four years but I've decided to take a break. I'm quite busy with other commitments like work and school but it's also been quite difficult to get and keep a school up and running in the area I'm in currently so I'll be closing my doors for now.

    I'll be going back to training with my Sifu and I think I'm going to split my time between there and some BJJ classes. There's a school about 10 minutes away whose head is a Marcus Soares blackbelt and I do miss grappling.

    ...as soon as this post-viral cough clears up and I no longer sound like General Grievous

    Hey,I think it's always preferable to be a full time student (I mean rather than 1 or 2 times a month or something) and keep learning/developing.

    I think every one of my teachers of TC and Southern CMAs initially began teaching simply to develop training partners.

    Enjoy!

    Do what you can, going once is better than not going at all.

    That's exactly how I ended up with it. Have to admit it often is a large pain.
