My wife's claim to fame is that she accidentally bashed Sensie Jack Hearn on the ankle when he was her uncles Judo instructor, and he was hopping around in agony. They sound like excellent seminars though.

[Sherlock]

He's 84 years old now and still throws people around. Unfortunately I've just found out that Jack Hearne has had to pull out from Sundays Seminar. All other instructors are still coming as planned. Jack was only assisting with Andy Wilshaw's segment; the main theme of the day being striking based arts anyway. He was coming along as he's in Bolton the day before on another big seminar for NTK but can't make it now. Should be a great day though and I'm really looking forwards to it.
