Currently in the land of the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys (France) so thought I'd say hi having discovered after a week the room with the free internet access!!!

Out here at a Savate (French Kickboxing) training and grading week so wish us luck for the 2nd part of the grading tomorrow! Hoping to get my Silver glove grade which is approximately equivalent to 1st Dan Black Belt in Eastern arts.

At a Sports University in Vichy. Amazing place with provision for all sports I can think of. Do we have these in the UK? Amazing weather, great food too.

It's in the middle of no where so bugger all night life but too knackered after 6/7 hours a day training in this weather to go out anyway!

Anyway, off now for another assessment of all the French sporting 'Talent' in half a bikini by the lake!

Au Revoir!
James

Fozzie

Ned.

For the uninitiated...

Savate is a French martial art which uses both the hands and feet as weapons and contains elements of western boxing, grappling and graceful kicking techniques, only foot kicks are allowed, with no use of the knees or shins.

If I have it slightly wrong, I am sure James will be along soon to put it right....
