Developing

Last week I had a marathon of Martial Arts, roughly 10 hours of training with the legendary Bob Breen at the Breen Instructor Camp over two days which was fantastic.

Being someone who doesn't like missing opportunities and always wanting to make the most of everything, I had also arranged a private training session with none other than CFS founder and Head Instructor, Guro David Onuma.

I've spoken before about how important it is to have a skilled instructor and to make the most of their teachings, on Sunday morning I walked in to the gym and started some warm ups and had a catch up with Guro David and got started with some Panantukan and trapping padwork, we then moved on to grappling and finished the session off with a light roll.

The thing about training with masters is their skill to teach you things when you are barely aware of them, Guro David had this way of letting me do things while rolling that increased my positional knowledge and overall movement, I've felt this before when sparring on the feet as well and it's a testament to his skill and knowledge and one of the many things that makes him as good as he is.

I am extremely proud that Guro David promoted me to Apprentice Instructor Level 1 in both Jun Fan/JKD and Filipino Martial Arts. This was completely unexpected and I thank him for all the time he has given me over the years and all he continues to teach me.

Oss!
