You can call me Al

After last week's trip, I'm now officially recognised as an instructor.

But no, really, there's no need to call me Sifu or Laoshi - Snafu is probably more appropriate

Not quite Million Dollar Baby...

...but a million kopeks maybe?

My birthday pressie to myself is now installed, and I ran it through a commissioning test this morning...shouldn't really use it "in anger" until it's my birthday though, should I?

Crazy Legs

Learning a new bit in the ground-fighting set at the moment. It involves starting from the floor and windmilling the legs in a break-dance stylee until you can use your momentum to spring to your feet.

Looks really impressive when T does it. I'm struggling with it a bit so far though, and it's not exactly the sort of move you can practice at the drop of a hat.
