At the end of August I finally retired from SK, with my last session being with Sensei Chris Dodd and Indar Pickton-Howell at Central London Branch. I could no longer take the risk of injury, even though my speed and power are undiminished.
Anyway, the good news is the SK saved my life! For the full story...
For the most part, or actually the first half, it was fun. Then considerably less so once the politics kicked in, and I simply continued to train for my own fitness and self discipline. Will I miss it? Probably not, although I will no doubt be dropping in from time to time to see some of you. Otherwise, it's 3 nights a week down the gym. Considerably more boring, but necessary.
