New beginnings!

Welcome to my blog.
After two years of bad psoriatic arthritis and several consultants and physiotherapists telling me to give up martial arts,or take up a SOFT style, i am back.....
You cant keep an old dog down for too long!
 
The aim of this blog is to detail how i got back to recovery, and to help others as best i can, and to discuss my thoughts and concepts regarding martial arts and wellness.
 
But before we get into all those things i have to thank a few people.
 
First, my wife Natasha, who is not only an awesome GP but the rock that keeps me strong, and never gives up on me, no matter what crazy idea i come up with. Nathan my 4 year old son, who's endless energy kept me on my toes and who i aspire to in many ways. There is something wonderful about watching your child move out into the world.
 
I want to also thank:
 
Anthony of the Dinky Ninjas(MMA club in Glasgow) for his support over the years and for getting me into trouble on many occasions, and for leading me towards MMA in the first place......
 
Rannoch Donald of Simple Strength (http://www.simplestrength.com/) whose friendship kept me motivated through the hard times,and who is a wonderful example of a true martial artist and wellness practitioner.
 
Jay Bell of Phoenix who has for many years he listened to my rants about martial arts, fitness and all things to do with Russian martial arts. Big things ahead for Jay.
