I trust you have again enjoyed your morning power walk and protein drink and the exhilaration of today maybe bench pressing 35kg while saggybutt is busy climbing the walls around you like some spiderwoman, it must be hard on the manicured finger nails.

I wish to inform you that well over a year ago I personally dragged the gung-ho world of karate into the new millennium by allowing a 2 minute break at the 1/2 time mark of my 1.5hr karate class, for a drink of water. An activity I also participate in, much to the disgust of some students.

The reasons are obvious and I am sure you are well aware of all of them. And why should karate be the only activity in the world where there is no break for refreshments?

My next step, which you may also be delighted with, is to copy boxing, a close relative to karate I believe in may ways. Yes, we will have a sexy bikini card girl walk around with a number 2 to signify the start of part 2 of the lesson.
