afternoon sandyman

just watched the tv show you and jeff did a great job under a difficult situation with the doc and the woman
really not fully understanding our love and sport,,,,,it does not matter what you say to some people regarding
how safe our art and sport is,
they will always see it through there are own eyes because of the job they are in etc

in this ever changing world of were theres a blame there's a claim, :-(
people have forgot that kids use to play out until the sun went
down and came home safe and happy,,,
playing out is now not the right thing anymore,,
kids use to climb trees i used to, also play soldiers go fishing make small camp fires go camping for up to 3 days at a time and got home safe and sound etc,,,,,
i think and know the life skills we teach in our clubs up and down the county hold the kids the future of this county in good stead to get use to life's
ups and downs and knocks and bangs etc,,,,,
a lot of parents in today's world wrap there kids up in cotton wool and push them towards the play station and staying in and not letting them mix with other kids of there own age,,,,
i get parents just the same as you do coming to the gym saying please please please
can you help my son or daughter get out of the house and do something with there young lives
because they are worried of letting them play out with there friends,,,
because of the increasingly violent world we know live in etc


that's why we are doing very well in promoting all the right values to the kids using muaythai as a means to an end,,,,,its like using muaythai like stepping stones to get where you wish to go in life please say thank you to jeff for saying my name on the show. once again you did very well under difficult circumstances,,,,,,,,,WELL DONE GOD BLESS YOU BOTH,,,,,,,,
