'dont even know if its appropriate for me to call him as he is 13th Dan (maybe more now) and is not listed in affiliation with any Dojo. Plus im daunted to say the least by his high rank, why would anyone so skilled want to teach a complete novice?
Does anyone have any advise'
Yep don't be worried.
Dave started a new session last Sunday and there was at least three beginners there.
I've sent a 'PM' of three clubs and various ways to contact them.
Any questions please feel free to ask.
But i would not stress about the lessons because as a beginner your not expected to know anything, its more worrying being a Dan grade!!
