Hello Everyone, Thank you once again for taking the time to read this blog. This month I feel quite saddened by the content of this blog, though I do feel that I have to address some issues that have arisen recently. What you are about to read may strike a chord with many of you, […]

It is one of the very first things I take in to consideration before anything else. I always look to see how consistent someone has been with their training. I do this because I believe […]
