Ian McGregor before Nidan karate grading

I finally got around to uploading a photo of myself on this blog

The photo is of me just before going for my NiDan (2nd Black belt) in Kyokushin karate, trust me you don’t want to see what the after photo was like :-) 4 1/2 hours of very hard training.

It’s now 2 weeks later and my cracked ribs are still reminding me of that day.  My boss (and good friend) asked me when I was limping around and wincing in pain all day “was it really worth it!!”, it’s very hard to explain to someone who has not been through something like this, but yes it is!!!

I’ll be writing more about the lead-up and the grading itself on my other blog at

 Cheers

Hello world!

Posted by maca123 on June 5, 2007

Hi I’m Ian McGregor, and welcome to MACA’s Musings.

 This is my first time blogging so be gentle :-) 

I intend to used this blog to develop my skills in blogging and to develop my writing in general, before I actually register my own domain name and have my own web site and blog.

I’ll most likely be talking about Brewing beer, Personal development, Engineering/Trade skills in Australia, and health here, but might get off track from time to time.

The decision to start this blog came mostly from some of the personal development work I’ve been doing lately, where I realised there is no point just thinking about things I need to get my thoughts ‘out there’, other people hopefully will find useful infomration in what I have to say, or even better offer information that is useful to me.

I look forward to your comments

Cheers

MACA
