I'm currently in Hobart at LCA (http://linux.conf.au), a conference on Linux, the free operating system. Although it may not mean much to most, as well as those that like free software and those that don't like being locked into a proprietary software solution, Free and Open Source Software attracts those that understand the value of a free and open exchange of ideas and concepts.
Late last year, some of my students and I headed out of town to the Kapiti Coast Taekwon-Do club. One of my students (Dai Sempai Tim Watkins) works with the instructor Ian Leitch. Ian was wanting to play/work with some of our self defence concepts, finding another ways of looking at things ... and I'm all for sharing the knowledge for those that are prepared to front up for the harvesting of knowledge.
Why does this website say I've only been training since '07?
And I think if I write something in here, it'll come up in the recent posts. Honestly, I don't come here that often, since I don't have the interweb at home.
just saying hi and does any one know when the latest blackbelt grading is this year o and is there a tournament just saying hi to everyone
