Here's my new training schedule for June. Where ever you are on planet Earth I hope it finds you well and training hard. My apologies for being unable to answer all the emails. Otherwise I'd end up like a lot of karateka nowadays who live their karate through a key board. There is apparently one chat room of old women going on about me at the moment.The photos and videos on this site reflect my philosophy of "TRAINING FIRST". The people with crap karate will talk, talk and theorise... And the real karateka will talk with their karate! Needless to say, that is why over a million people have visited this site. People listen when commentary is backed by technique. I am not claiming to be good at karate - but this is a target I am "TRAINING TOWARDS" on a daily basis... Probably the biggest weakness of karate outside of Japan is too much waffle like the aforementioned idiots who accuse others of being arrogant because they feel inferior. Undoubtedly, they will keep flapping their mouths because that's all they have... Irrespective of such clowns, I will stick to doing karate the Japanese way, alongside the real karateka around the world who also follow this path. Osu! Andre
OK... On to my latest training regime! The last couple of days have been physically hard for me, but I hope to adjust in the coming week or so.
