APPRECIATION FROM THE SQUAD MEMBERS

Hi all, To all those who signed my guestbook....thankyou.
It looks like you all had a good time in Malta. I'm glad about that. The
event passed but the memories remain. Till yesterday the championships
were shown on Maltese Television. It was a success. After all the hard
work that we put in, seeing this guestbook makes me feel proud.
A big thanks to Dicker for having faith in us and giving us the chance
to promote this event.

hey every1 had a BRILLIANT time in Malta and well
done to the whole squad. I would like to say thanks to every1
involved in getting us there and a big thankyou to Simone and Dicker
and every1 else at HQ that has helped me throughout the years and it
has finally paid off.
A huge thanks to the support from the squad especially in my
continuous semi finals was great help and got me going for the extra
30 sec. was one of the best weeks of my life and I will never forget
it. We had a brilliant team.
Again a big thanks Simone and Dicker for taking me out there and all

After all that has been said, I doubt we could add
anymore. It has got to have been the most fun and successful
championships I have had the honor to attend. Team spirit was
defo at an all time high and friendship plentiful.
I doubt I have ever laughed so much as I did on Monday night, thank
you all for that.
Visiting my sisters grave was a very special and moving experience
and having the chance to do that within such a special time made it
even more wonderful.
LEIF. Son, it is your dad and I that should be giving out the
thanks, you make us proud to be parents. You were determined not to
pull out although it was obvious the pain you were in. Well Done
mate, you truly deserved all 4 of your World Titles and it was nice
to see you lift the spirit of your team mates with your constant
verses of the squad song. lol. DEADLY AND SIMONE, You have a squad
to be proud of, created my 2 very special people. Well done !!
RICKY-LEE, Well Done m8, you are truly deserving of that title. the
hard work pays off.
JAMIE AND BOBBY, 2 Fantastic little stars, champions in the making
!! Bobby your m8 Bob is missing you already.
EVERY MEMBER OF THE SQUAD SHOULD BE VERY PROUD OF ALL YOUR
ACHIEVEMENTS, WE ARE SO PROUD TO HAVE BEEN PART OF IT. SHAZBO

Big Thank you to Master Deadly and the whole HQ Team
¡V What a week!!!!
Great experience, great training and a great comp ¡V oh and the
after party wasn¡¦t too bad either ( though I am now in desperate
need of some sleep!!!!). Thank you Jess for your shout
to the Samurai Finger Squad ¡V we will send you your membership pack
and T-shirt soon! ļ Before I set out on the Trip to
Malta I wasn¡¦t really sure how the week would turn out as I wasn't
traveling with anyone and I didn't really know anyone on the squad.
Not only did I meet some great people but I think I've picked up a
couple of friends for life, so I definitely echo some of the
comments about team camaraderie! Wanted to put a
special shout out to Brian & Scott (Hope your noses are getting
better ¡V Actually does anyone have an accurate count on the exact
number of broken noses?) also to Darren B, Darren C, Laura, John,
Michelle, Blade & Tim ¡V you can all come to my Desert Island
anytime, but please help me keep Tim & Blade away from the
animals!!!!!!! Memory of the week ¡V close draw between
Deadly¡¦s new sun lounger destruction technique and Tim¡¦s
devastating dance floor sweep!!!!! Thank you all, had a
great week ¡V love to all the squad and I'll see you all at the 6
Footers!!! Jonathon the Keltic Warrior Will.

Wow people! So cool to read all the comments here - and there was me
thinking it was just me that had the time of my life!!! Why the b'jesus
have i missed all the other trips abroad??? D'oh! Serious!
No matter how perfect an event or holiday is, i reckon at the end of the
day it all comes down to the people you meet and the friends you share
the experience with... and i certainly met the best bunch of crazy
freaky dancers that i could have hoped for! Thank you
to everyone in the WUMA family that made it the funniest & best trip
ever, not sure if I'm still hurting from the fighting or from laughing
so much...? The Salsa bar and Murphy's pub are in my head forever now...
Special shout out to the coolest and most genuine monkeyboys and
monkeygirls of the Samurai Finger Squad - i love you goofy animal
abusers!!!! See you all at the 6footer, or on that fun-packed Desert
Island. Love & Horsebites. Timmy 2Hedz (samurai finger
turtle)KKKIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (finger salute!!!)

Hey everyone - good to see so many people enjoyed Malta. A lot of hard work
went into it, and it's top bonage to see that it all paid off. Must be the
first time almost 200 people have combined fighting with drinking without
getting arrested!
Big shout out to the Samurai Finger Team - keep that salute ready to draw on
the next meeting. I'm just shining mine up for speedy exposure! I guess that
the trip is definitely proof that "Not everybody can win, but everybody can
have a good time". Jonny 5 - let me know the
progress on your up & coming Bathroom Kata. Extra point surely for a 501
button fly tug effect? Q. How many Squad members does it
take to change a light bulb? A. 198 of course - we're a team!!
Keep it real gang ps - Me thinks the Italians might well
make a fine pizza, but Humble Pie is most definitely not on their menu!

Master Deadly / Simone,
As parents you must have been very proud last week, I think at times that is
often forgotten, that you are there as parents aswell as, organisers,
coaches, role models etc. I would doubt anyone
caould ver step into your shoes and do such a great job. It was
great standing next to you Simone and sharing that special moment when Ricky
recieved his title,though the smile on his face defo made the whole trip
worth it, and to see little bobby and jay make the poduim was fantastic, I
will never forget Bobby Strutting up.( there were both extra special by
stepping up into the next category to what they normally fight in )
Tom and Rich are always a pleasure to watch.lol. They both bring great
characters to the squad and although it can be a while in between seeing
them, they always seem to remember you and are always filled with fun. lol.
Danyel, to me was a star, when i seen the size of some of the girls in her
category she did not get faised but got on with it.She is so mature to talk
to and I felt I got to know her more during the trip.
So as parents and grandparents I salute you both you are doing a fantastic
job. WELL DONE TO YOU BOTH

Hi Deadly,S imone, Ricky and all the family just wishing you
all the best for 2007 and to thank you for Malta and all that went with it,
it made 2006 so very special for all of us and we look forward to traveling
with you many times in 2007. I know this year is going to be great and we
all look forward to meeting up with you in the near future, all the best

Thanks to everyone for all their kind comments, although that event took
over 12 months to organise and there were many times that I felt like
chucking my paperwork under a moving train, I can honestly say that to see
the faces of so many smiling on the rostrum made it all worth it. Seeing my
three sons take places was great .For Jamie & Bobby who are regular
competitors since they were 4 & 5 (they are still only 5 and 6!!) I know
that they will get there most kids their age would never get on a mat let
alone fight as well as they do. Ricky-Lee trains really hard and has a great
attitude to martial arts, he missed out on a title many times but this year
has won several British, a European and a world title, here's to many more
son! There were many that took World Titles that had missed out achieving
their dream and through determination and a love of the martial arts they
stuck at it and got there. For those who didn't quite make it use these
people as an inspiration and you can fulfill yr dreams. For those who won
this time well done u deserve it, this is where the hard work starts for
you! Now you are at the top you have to train twice as hard to stay there.
As a World Champion you have to conduct yourself as such and set a good
example to others. I saw one particular boy this year from one of the other
countries who won a World title in Germany 04, this year he was cocky,
arrogant and not a good ambassador for the sport, he ended up losing because
he was acting cocky instead of getting his job done. When you are a World
Champion everyone wants to beat you to prove a point, if you become
big-headed and cocky instead of staying humble and having respect for your
opponents then believe me people will lose respect for you and in my books
people respecting a fighter means more than any title or trophy. Enjoy all
the memories of the trip and here's to the next one!
