Kenpo in Common

Hi Ian
All those years we worked in RTE together, I did not know till recently, (Jane mentioned it) that you practised Kenpo Karate to a high level.


The u tube video that I have incerted is of my old karate instructor, Tommy Jordan doing Form 3. I think I got up as far as form 5 . Looking at the video, I am going to attempt relearning it. Pre Covid, my favorite sporting activity was seimming. I havent swam in over a year in a meaningful way and am very much forward to getting back into the pool or Lough Bray up near Kippure.
I did know Tommy Jordan very well aa he lived beside me in Cabra and was my instructor for 4 years. He actually used to go to USA to train and spar with
Elvis. Anyway , enjoy the video. I hope it encourages you revisit some of your karate exercises. Talk soon, stay safe
