An offer we just couldn't refuse.So for a short while my blog will be on hold. As for my preparations for the World Championships in Houston, I wi Read more:Happy

It's Up To Me 2008-09-23 17:32:49 I was recently looking through some files on the computer and came across the following piece of work that I had written myself several years ago when I was going through my 'Coaching' phase. I thought it was well worth including in this blog for anyone who might be interested in getting their life back on track.Are you satisfied where you find yourself right now? Do you believe that you are capa
Back Home 2008-09-20 07:30:35 Well I'm back home after my holiday in Spain and I have to say I'm feeling really refreshed.I can't think of anything worse than boring you with all the details about my holiday exploits and of course showing you endless photos, which are of no particular interest to anyone except myself.So I'll only give you a few brief details about my vacation including one family photo (above). I'm sure that y
Jason's 20th Birthday 2008-10-22 09:45:41 Today it's my son's birthday and I have to say that it really seems like yesterday since Jason
was born. (Where has the time gone, - I expect all parents say that though.)This morning we've been to Norwich as he wanted to buy a new guitar with some birthday money. This has been somewhat a tradition, something that we've done together on his 16th and 18th birthday and of course today as well.So wh Read more:Birthday
PICTURES FROM HOUSTON - CONTINUED 2008-10-20 17:27:43 This time while visiting Kuk Sool HQ in Houston I just couldn't seem to get a photo taken with the Grandmaster - except for the one that I've included.This large full-scale picture is displayed at HQ Dojang - So I took the liberty.Hope you like it as much as I do.
6th Degree Black Belt 2008-10-18 11:48:35 As you may have gathered from the picture in my last post - I have recently been promoted to 6th degree black belt in the Traditional Korean Martial Art of Kuk Sool Won.Although I was ready to perform one final test at Kuk Sool HQ in Tomball Texas, I was informed that it was not necessary to test any further as I'd already passed all the requirements for my particular level.The pict Read more:Black
EXHILARATING TRIP 2008-10-17 15:55:57 Just to let everyone know - The Ducker family are now back in the UK after an exhilarating trip to Houston Texas, I'll tell you more about it in future posts.Also look out for some interesting photo's as well.
Shiatsu Treatment 2008-11-16 14:35:10 This morning (Sunday) I've been performing a Shiatsu treatment on a very close friend, who is in need of some re-vitalisation.I might not have mentioned it before in my blog that apart from being a martial arts teacher, I am also a registered Shiatsu practitioner.I started learning this traditional hands-on Japanese therapy nearly twenty years ago, however I only wanted to study the theory side o Read more:Treatment
Autumn Trees 2008-11-09 13:53:23 Although I mentioned in one of my most recent blogs how much I dislike the relatively cold and damp days here in Britain, especially this time of year. I have to admit when you look at the trees and the changing colour of the foliage, I have to say it really is most spectacular.I live in a small village in Suffolk (UK) and we are lucky enough to be absolutely surrounded by a variety of different Read more:Autumn

FILM WEEK 2008-11-06 04:41:47 For the most part of last week I have been involved in having a documentary made about our martial art school in Halesworth. This was done by a group of second year University Students who are based at Farnham in Surrey.The group of six (Andrew - Producer, Joel - Director, Joel - cameraman, Sam - sound, Rachel and Dan- editors) where very interested in using Kuk Sool as there current film project
GOD BLESS AMERICA 2008-11-06 04:39:37 Having returned back from the USA myself only a few weeks ago, while visting I happened to pick up on many peoples desire for change in their country.Last night Barack Obama made history by being voted as the first black president of the United States of America.For many of the people this monumental achievement not only represents a change in the level of thinking throughout the USA, but also for
Good Days and Bad Days 2008-11-06 04:38:48 We all have good days and bad days, in fact that's what makes life interesting. However I must admit that just recently I've had a few dismal days in a row and I know that I shouldn't use the weather as an excuse, but yesterday was an awfully grey and miserable day here in Suffolk.I'm not sure if I'm affected by the SAD (seasonal affective disorder) syndrome, but I certainly respond better to a wa
Halloween - Love it or Loathe it? 2008-11-06 04:28:55 Last night (31st Oct) we had another exciting night at our martial art school with our Halloween
fun night. The kids were very hyped-up and excited. I believe that I only added to the problem by providing plenty of yucky, sticky sweets as prizes.Although in Britain Halloween has become more popular in recent years, there are those who find Halloween literally a very scary experience, especially fo Read more:Loathe
