30 Minutes of Online Bunkai Videos!
Hi Everyone!
How
are you? I hope this update finds you all in good health and high spirits?
I have been adding plenty of video to the website since the last newsletter and there is just under 30 minutes of new footage for you to view! If you go to section 1 of this newsletter you can find the link to the webpage I’ve set up where you can view all the videos. These seven videos were taken at my home dojo, at private sessions, and at seminars in Sweden and the USA. I hope you enjoy them!
I’ve also got a new podcast that I hoped to have out this week. However, when I went to add the finishing touches I found that my microphone had broken. A new one has been ordered and as soon as I have added the finishing touches I’ll drop you a note to let you know the new podcast is online.
As you will have no doubt noticed, it has been a couple of months since the last newsletter. Sorry about that! Other commitments along with navigating the complex legal process of becoming a single man again had left me with little spare time. Because other things needed to take priority I was unable to find the time to get the newsletters out. Thank you all for your patience and understanding with these delays. The good news is that things are back on track and normal service has been resumed!
I hope you enjoy the new videos and I appreciate your patience over the last few weeks. Regular newsletters and podcasts will be back very soon! I’ve also got lots of really exciting news to share with you so please keep an eye out for the next update!
Speak soon folks!
All the best,
Iain

1 – 30 minutes of online videos since the last newsletter!
It’s
been a couple of months since the last newsletter went out due to me being
extremely busy on all fronts. I therefore thought I’d put all the videos since
then on a single page for ease of viewing in case anyone has missed any. We have
just under 30 minutes of video in these clips and I hope you enjoy them.
These videos were taken at my home dojo, at private sessions, and at seminars in Sweden and the USA. I’ve a few more “in the can” and I’ll get them uploaded as soon as I’ve had the chance to edit them together.
Many thanks for all your support of these videos!
All the best,
Iain
