On a personal note I'd just like to thank Linden Huckle and all those students from the Zanshin Black Belt Academy that attended the weekends seminars, hopefully some of what I shared with you will encourage you to experiment more with your game and that it has opened your eyes to the other ranges of combat other than striking.

All the best!

David Webb
