I’ve been browsing through old photos this evening, and what should I find but a few photos from my 5th kyu (green tab) karate grading in December 2001.  I later went on to grade up to 3rd Kyu (brown tab), before taking a… let’s say hiatus.  Which is about 6 years now I guess, and stretching the definition of the word more and more by the day.

I’m closest to the camera, right in front of me is Our James.
