I am currently living in Preston, Lancs but I will always be a Norn Iron (Northern Ireland) boy. My main interest is the continuing study of martial arts. I started off studying Jiu Jitsu for 6 years up to Brown Belt level and have now moved onto Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Kali and Pentjak Silat. Check out my self-indulgent photo selection!I study at the Impact School of Martial Arts in Longridge Preston which is part of the Magda Institute of Martial Arts under Sifu Paul Hartley and my Mentor Sifu Ian Fell. Muchos gratitude to u both for showing me the 'way'. I am currently on the Instructor Training Programme and really enjoying teaching the JKD pre-phase class on a Thursday night and hoping to get into teaching more Kali too. It is a really good class even if I do say so myself..lol. The Impact school is hoping to re-locate to a larger premises in Preston in 2008. There will be classes in JKD, Kali, Silat, Kickboxing, BJJ, self defence and yoga. More details to follow but feel free to contact me for more information and check out the video below of Sifu Mark from Impact Manchester to see the arts we train in. Well cool!!JKD or Jeet Kune Do is a compilation of the training methods, attitudes, philosophies, combat techniques and concepts researched and compiled by the late Bruce Lee.IMPACT MANCHESTER

Caz on my friends list.Again feel free to contact me for further info. The practice of Reiki is an original method of healing, developed by Mikao Usui in Japan early in the 20th century, which is activated by intention. Reiki’s natural healing energy works on every level, not just the physical, and promotes the body’s regenerative self healing ability.The Japanese word Reiki means ‘Universal Energy’. Eastern medicine has always recognised and worked with this energy, which flows through all living things and is vital to well-being. Known as ‘ki’ in Japan, ‘chi’ in China and ‘prana’ in India. Acupuncture, T’ai chi and Yoga are also based on the free-flow of this energy in a person.Reiki is a non-invasive therapy whose purpose is to treat holistically and to restore homeostasis.The energy of Reiki can be used to great effect in many ways. Whether one is suffering from stress or tension, and the many symptoms associated with this, or wishing to improve the quality of relationships at home or work, the beneficial effects of Reiki occur on many levels. Reiki can accelerate the healing of physical problems, balance the emotions, and free us from restrictive mental attitudes. It may also provide a closer connection with inner wisdom.Reiki encourages and supports positive personal change such as improving the diet, having more rest, exercise or leisure time, and may reduce the need for alcohol and tobacco. Reiki can allow us to respond more calmly to all events, and build on a more resourceful state of being. Reiki is a gentle energy and may be used safely by all ages, including the newborn, pregnant mothers, surgical patients, the frail and the elderly, regardless of their state of health. Reiki can enhance everyday life, and regular sessions help to ward-off illness and fatigue.Reiki is a non-invasive therapy that can be used without fear of any side-effects or overdose. It may be used with confidence alongside conventional medication or natural remedies because it acts in a complementary way.A session is usually carried out with the client lying down or sitting, in a comfortable and peaceful environment. There is no need to remove any clothing. The practitioner places their hands gently, in a series of positions, on or over the body. The client's system automatically draws in only as much Reiki as is needed, using it in whatever way is most appropriate at the time. Reiki may be felt as a flow of energy, mild tingling, warmth, coolness, other sensations, or nothing at all. Reiki is deeply relaxing, eases stress, and has a calming effect. Treatment is enhanced if one can rest for a while afterwards and drink plenty of water to help the body detox. Be responsive to the needs of your body, eg resting if tired, and allow the energy to continue its work after the session ends. The beneficial effects may be felt for several days.Reiki is able to transcend time and space and therefore is a powerful energy for distant or absent healing. In other words, a Reiki practitioner is able to treat someone equally as well if they are in another country to them or whether they are sitting in the same room with the practioners hands on them.Quite often distant healing can be as powerful as a hands on treatment as the techniques the Reiki practitioner is trained in allow Reiki to be sent to all areas simultaneously and a 15 minute distant treatment can be equal to one and a half hours treatment of actual hands on time.Distant healing can be used in between hands on sessions or as the chosen method of healing if it is challenging (because of physical location and/or lifestyle) for the practitioner and client to meet.REIKI PRINCIPLESJust for today do not anger, Just for today do not worry, Honour your parents, teachers and elders, Earn your living honestly, Show gratitude to every living thing.
