            <description><![CDATA[Hi Tam,
<br />

<br />
I haven't seen John for a few years now, the last time was probably at one of the Zen Judo Budo Courses I held at Petersfield, when John came up as an Instructor back in 2005. He might have been up to Nottingham to Instruct at Shihan Lawson's Budo course as well around the same time.
<br />

<br />
I have tried to contact him from time to time, but without much success.
<br />

            <description><![CDATA[Agot,
<br />
it's nice to know that you've taken the time to read the book, however there's no comparison to actually practising judo. Perhaps if you took the time to visit one of our clubs you would see what I mean.
<br />
Good luck in your training (if you are a student.)

<br />
Is it a test  to be overcome to gain another grading or a higher belt     ?
<br />
Is it demontisation of moves to show how good you and your Uki are ?
<br />
Is it a way to charge your students more money by having to do Kata courses  
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight:bold">Kata cannot be leant in few hours then forgotten it must be practised</span>
<br />

<span style="font-weight:bold"><span style="color:blue">It is</span></span>
<br />
an invaluable way to train
<br />
fun to learn 
<br />
As well as Randori, it should be given class time

Your balance

Your timing
