The International Training Weekend went really well, it seemed a great success on the surface but no doubt it had its disasters and panics behind the scenes!!

The celebrities were a fantastic bunch of people, no snobbery, they just mixed in with everyone. Jason David frank was absolutely fantastic with the kids and the way he stayed around signing autographs for everyone was just great.

Karen Sheperd, who I met while we were in Atlantic City in January, remembered me straight away. Not bad for a lady who must see thousands of people per year. All the celebrities were just willing to mix in with us ordinary folk and have a laugh and a joke.

On reflection of the workshops and the other celebrity martial arts instructors, the instruction on all was second to none, my students and instructors, myself included, came away with a great feeling and knowledge of learning so many different things in the 2 days. I am sure all the other instructors and their students must be in agreement with me on that point.

Although I did not do any of the academic courses this time i.e. first aid; child protection etc I am quite sure that they were of the same calibre and excellence I have experienced on previous B.N.M.A.A. and B.B.I. courses.

Hoping this testimony will meet every ones agreement and satisfaction
