    I personally hope to come home with a medal. I'm working hard on Cho Geup Hyung to get it up to scratch.

    By the way, what uni are you off to?

    Yeah, hopefully to Cambridge, but I'm not holding out much hope for meeting the conditions. My backup is Edinburgh.

    What are you going to study? It sounds like you have conditions too. :(

    Anyway, I wanted to say that you look a lot younger than I though you would be. Don't know if that's a bad thing or not. :)

    I'm 18, but look a lot younger with my hair up and in my uniform, plus im only little...lol

    Yeah there are conditions to get in my first choice, but fingers crossed I should be okay. I've applied to study English + Philosophy, how about you?

    Both the unis that you have applied for have Kuk Sool Won schools, which is always a good thing!

    Hope your getting on okay with your exams.

    Haha! I finished a month ago. That's the one good thing about the Scottish system. It starts early and finishes early! :) How are you getting on?

    Cambridge has KJN Hinchcliffe, who looks like a Bond villain, but I've been told that he's a nice guy...

    I'm going to study Chemical Engineering, which sounds quite flash. :)

    Exams went crap btw...

    I have two weeks left of exams, its killing me!

    Sure your exams went fine, im assuming you got pretty good predicted grades if your looking at Cambridge, so I would not worry!

    KJN Hinchcliffe is a great instructor, you will be lucky to train under him.

    Did you get in then?

    I trained under KJN until recently - he's a great teacher and a lovely bloke. I wouldn't call PSBN a fool too much though as he takes the Cambridge class sometimes and may take it personal like ;)

    Where those swords that KJN Hart is holding made by the guy in the UK? Sorry forgot his name.

    No, not if you mean KJN Whiting. They were a special order we got made for him from the class for acheiving his Masters. They were made by a guy in the uk though, who is a kuk sool student. :)

    Nice gift.

    How long are they? They look monster sized, although appropriate in his hands.

    Long story. Basically the guy who made them for him was talking to him at a seminar a few years back. They were saying how hard it is to get a sword to match their dimensions. This guy is massive too. So he said to Darren that he would make him one.

    A few years later Darren was at a tournament and the guy walked up to him and gave him a sword he had made. Darren asked him how much he wanted for it. He said it was an honour making it for him and it was a gift.

    So when he was getting his Masters we made a collection and because Darren liked his new sword so much we got in contact and the same guy said he would make us a matched pair for the cost of parts. So we paid him for his time too. :)

    I believe the blades are 29 1/2 inches the handles another 12ish

    I think thats basically right anyway lol Gi Ma Ja Se will correct me if I'm wrong i'm sure :)
