Hi,Hugh one of my Black Belt members informed of your web site. I'am very impressed by it. I hope you are keeping ok. Perhaps I might come to one of your courses soon. Stephen (0141 959 8192) PS I'am still waiting on you to return the pint I bought you in 1971 on the Kings Head bar in Chigwell down at the Grangefarm course. Also I'am pretty sure Sanny owes myself 2 pints.

Comments by Sensei Alexander de Araya on Mon Jul 16 01:24:56 BST 2001

Sensei, Thank you very much for visiting our humble (and cheap) site, and your kind words. I would say that although we are walking in different direction, we are sharing the same "path". I was also impressed by your website, and amazed at the fact you are so far from Oz. My wife was delighted since she is an Aussie of Scottish descent (Matheson-Poll) and I suppose this things are important huh? All the best to you and your students and may the Arts continue to grow due to your efforts over there. In peace and in Budo Sensei A de Araya Kyoshi Ken Yu Kan Goju Ryu Karate Do Sydney, Australia
