Posted by Al Peasland on Mar 31, 2011 in Al's Articles | 0 comments

Saturday saw the second instalment of our CSP Masterclass “The Arts” Seminar Series This is a 6 month journey, consisting of one seminar per month, with each month focusing on a specific theme or range of martial arts.

What They Don’t Know

“Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present.” Sometimes we may not know we have received a gift until much later on! A short while ago, Lou and I were enjoying a wonderful meal with a couple of friends, and for some reason we got round to a lovely, heart warming subject. We were talking about going out as teenagers, the things we used to get up to and the times...

As a final follow up to my previous two blogs on the Casey Heynes bullying story, I wanted to highlight a few of the points that Casey, so articulately put in his recent interview I’ve also posted a video blog of the event, pulling out a couple of points around the act of Self Defence in this situation and how the bullying has most likely gone on for some time leading up to this event.

Is there anything you do that you would love to be World Class at? When you look at others who are clearly at the top of their game, does it make wish you could achieve the same dizzying heights in an arena of your own? Are you someone who is inspired by others who are in a league of their own at their chosen specialism or does it expose your own feelings of inadequacy, leaving you deflated and...

"Mick Tully has been a friend and student for years. His work ethic and enthusiasm make him a joy to train. He has achieved high levels as a student and an instructor in the MKG International organization. I am honored to have him as a part of our group and to call him a friend. Mick has a great outlook on the art and on life in general. I have found him to be a real thinker as well as a physical talent. We could not hope for a better representative."
