Forget to mention, a few hours before I flew to Portugal, I had my latest ninjitsu grading.

The grading (as usual) involved a lot of pain, but at the end of the night, I’d graded up to 7th Kyu

Still a long way from Black Belt (1st Kyu) but getting there

Have never really been into martial arts (altho Jackie Chan is a god), but my mate Mark A started doing ninjitsu last year, and the childish idea of being able to call myself a ninja is very me, so I gave it a go.

Now every Tuesday and Thursday I put myself through a LOT of pain, I really can’t stress the amount of pain involved, but in return I get to hit people… it’s great

It’s kinda like a Fight Club thing going on, twice a week I get to inflict pain on my mates, I love it.
