FROM THE UK COALFACE

Don't mess the UK BEST!!
 
This is the UK BC Team in London, pre-BC29 masterclass.
 
Dan, me, Phil (with the crazy hair), Steve (Big Guns) and Dave (Dangerous Dave ai!)
 
We went Old School in the UK with a trip to Dagenham in London and Edinburgh to see what the Scots had  going for them - and boy they showed good form!
 
It was a walk down memory lane for Dan and I. Last time we were there was BC21...
 
Yea...a lot has changed since those days (I can hear ya!) Dan has less hair, and he IS shorter than me...and well, I have the most bizarre accent EVER..cards on the table hey bro!!
 
Seriously, it was an honour to be with the UK Trainer Team again, getting our hands dirty on the road, with the coalface of BODYCOMBAT. Meeting instructors we have only ever spoken to on the email for 2 1/2 years, and putting faces to names. Thanks so much to all of you who managed to spend that time with us. We appreciate it more than you can imagine. NZ is a long way from home. x
 
Did I mention the fact that choclate tastes waaaaaaaaaaay better in the UK?
 
It was wicked - cant wait to come back and do it all again...
 
Just waiting for an invite I suppose...
 
"Does my face look bovvered??? "

Hello Dan+Rach from Scotland!

We loved having you in Scotland and we would love it if you could come back soon!  The SQW was amazing, inspiring and what a fantastic group of presenters for Combat.  I have to say the outfits were great and you all looked gorgeous!
Thanks so much for a brilliant class, the release is great and the music is brilliant!  Can't wait to see what you both have in store for us next!

Having you guys in scotland was ace! The buzz you guys created was unbelievable!! Not only in the classes you guys done but also in the education session, I told you us scots are mental didnt I ? It was great to meet the pair of you in person instead of talking via a computer screen!! Promise that you will come 'back to your roots' soon for another visit?

Take it easy

Hey Claudia in Mexico!!! Great to hear you are enjoying BC29 over there. One day we hope to travel to Mexico - maybe then we can all share a BC class and go crazy.

My email is rachael@lesmills.com

Brian - my gosh it seems like seconds ago I was running around that club at broxburn. D and I had a fab time that day with you crazy fella's. The masterclass was outstanding - but the pinnacle was holding an education in our country where the humour is shared equally. That was exceptional.

Linda - its crazy weather up here right now so you may want to bring a jacket for the rain and your swimming cozy for the sunny days..

Who knows what each day's gonna bring..

Think w'brought good weather tw'ith us back down under like...

Hi Dan & Rach
Just wanted to say you guys are awesome and really love the BC29. It's such an inspiring release and we are both booked in to go for our Combat accreditation in December.
Also we are heading over to NZ from OZ in a couple of weeks (November 28th) - hopefully we can catch a class of yours in Studio 1 or even a taping of  a new release. It would be the ULTIMATE to be a part of one of your classes...
Cheers
