Last week was a big week. Bob was awarded a Lifetime achievement award at the recent Bytomic Martial arts summit. It started with a testimonial by Neil Mcleod talking about Bob’s impact on him and on European martial arts, then a short speech by Bytomic Managing Director David Lowe introducing Bob to all there and talking about his status and impact over the last forty years. Bob was quite chuffed but said that he’s only just starting! Bob and Judy continued the day spending lots of time catching up with their long time friend and Bob’s former student Andy Norman of Keysi/Batman fame. The week continued on that hectic vein with the BBC in the club casting for a follow up to Last man standing early in the week then Bob being interviewed for a community television channel. Bob topped off his 59th Birthday on Thursday with a mix of celebratory meals and training. There are lots of students entering the Kent open grappling competition this weekend so more on that soon. phew!!
