Leaving Germany (June '08) |
After working for BMW in Munich I finally leave Germany to start a year of martial arts training in Europe, China and Japan. My first destination will Cardiff for a Silat workshop with Maul Mornie, and then the Cercle Tissier in Paris, where I will concentrate on aikido practise.
Munich was a good experience. It is a very beautiful city, but I was too busy with work (about 10 hours a day) to make many friends. I used most of my spare time on training, which consisted of punch bag work at a kickboxing gym after work, and form training in the Munich parks on weekends. Learning to snowboard in the Alps was also a great experience. The office where I worked had a very good atmosphere and the colleagues there were very nice to work with. But I must say, there was not a day that I did not dream about finally staring my training project, so here I go!!!
