21-09-09.... Four of us went to Master Paul Bowman’s pressure point seminar in Maidstone yesterday. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it even though there was some pain involved! It gave a good insight into a different way that martial arts can be used.

The first APTI summer camp was a great sucess, both the Neil Adams and Tony Sewell seminars were very interesting and entertaining, also Mr Tizick’s pattern seminar gave an insight into the way we should be performing patterns.

Everybody passed the last grading, in gerneral the standard was high with the most number of A grade’s that I think we have ever had!!
