"Your guide for newbies covers vastly all the points that worry me the most ... I read it eagerly the minute I received it, and several times more after. ... I wonder how people used to prepare for their first gradings in the olden days, before you guys wrote this guide ... In general, I like the understanding and friendly style of yours, and the tricks to gain a few secs in case you feel too tired! ..." Patricia, London

Hi Crazy1,
Thanks for appreciating our work at this site. I am aware that 9 years is not a long time, and I hope to make it clear in my (blog) posts that I don't want to tell anyone what to do, and that I only write what I think and know with my 9 years of experience. I know I have a lot to learn, and I constantly realise how much more there is to learn. It's probably because of this relatively short time that my posts are not 'master' posts, and I really appreciate others' views on my writings, so it was really good to read your comment.
There is one thing though I would like to clarify: I don't have much to do with the performance analysis and judgement of others' videos. I leave that to my First Sensei, Connor. I wouldn't like to judge, although sometimes my blog posts contain some subjectively critical thoughts which I attempt to make constructive. The 'how not to do it' videos' aim is not to criticise others but to demonstrate typical errors and mistakes that we are aware of. Since it's always easier to find these in other people's moves, we thought that we could get the most from videos of others. We will try to add own videos though to highlight what our own mistakes are and what we will do to correct them.
Hope to receive another useful comments from you for my new posts.
Zolley
