    It's nice! It has a river running through it so there's ferry services going back and forth on it, and also some nice parks. They also had christmas lights all over the place.

    Never been to Brisbane myself, what's it like? And yeah of course likewise also, no problem.

    I just got back to the coast from my Brisbane trip! But during Christmas doing family stuff; part of the reason I came back to visit during this part of the year after all.

    Blue mountains is a fair distance west sadly.

    I didn't realise but I am currently staying near central coast. I am by St Huburts Island near Woy Woy and Gosford. I am flying to Melbourne but will be back on the 24th for a few days before heading to blue mountains.

    Nah, I'm in neither of those places. D= Central Coast, which is hour+ north of Sydney.

    Physics, more specifically astronomy. I do research in radio astronomy now; simulations and later working with data from a new telescope!

    Yeah, I'm visiting family as well. I think we are planning on going near blue mountains during Christmas break if that's anywhere near your neck of the woods? January time I am spending a week in Coff's Harbour as well though that is after new year . . .

    What's your PhD in and what kind of work you doing?

    Thanks!

    I have moved to Cape Town for work, actually. BUT I am back in Aus for the Christmas break! ...bit north of Sydney though and a trip/family stuff planned already, so we'll see what is possible.

    Congrats on 2nd dan! Things are generally good; got PhD, started new job, etc.

    Yo man, heard the news about you and sheep, congrats! By the way I'm actually currently in Sydney for the next 6 weeks or so. Can't recall where you're based but we could finally have our destined showdown! Or so I would say but I'm running on a slightly busted ankle so need to give it a week or two to recover. I'm a second dan now, how are things on your end?

    Lot of emphasis on angular movement for defending and attacking. Vertical fist for punching with emphasis on top two knuckles for striking - generally better to punch this way when hitting the helmet. Twist kick done with flat foot rather than ball of the foot because of the chest guard.

    That's lazy of you. =p What is Shorinjiru Kenkokan like?

    I'm interested, but I haven't looked into the details of it. Hopefully they manage it sensibly. May be messy given all the different styles about.

    It's not quite Aussi based but I can't be bothered going into the details of it. I did Shotokan for ages but now do Shorinjiryu Kenkokan. How do you feel about Karate in Olympics 2020?
