FCIns. Josh Nixon of the CSPS is at Stoke College’s Disability Day–25th of April 2012

On Wednesday the 25th of April 2012 FCIns. Josh Nixon (that’s me) will be representing the Combative Self-Protection System at Stoke College’s ‘Disability Day’. From 10:00-14:00 you’ll have the opportunity to speak with me and I’ll answer any questions you have about the CSPS or training in general. Details are also on the CSPS’s events page. The original article (of which this is a copy) is over at CSPS Online here.

The event will be held at Cauldon Campus on Stoke Road, Shelton, ST4 2DG, in the Sports Hall from 10:00-14:00 on Wednesday the 12th of April 2012.

Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service have said on their site:

The aim of the event is to raise disability awareness and provide information, advice and guidance to individuals within the college and the general public. There will be over 60 organisations on hand to provide the most up to date information on a range of disability issues to an eager audience and the celebrity guests will be ‘Race2Recovery’ who have recently been on the BBC’s Top Gear.

(From http://www.staffordshirefire.gov.uk/2091.asp on 14.04.2012.)

It’s going to be a great opportunity to speak with a lot of interesting organisations and individuals so I heartily recommend coming and taking a look – everyone’s welcome! I’ll be on hand for the full four hours to answer all of your questions on training with or without disabilities for self-protection, health, fitness and personal security. I’ll also be representing local martial arts class PHDefence, which I am Co-Instructor of. There may be an offer available to people who attend this event…

See you there!

P.S. There may also be sweets…

30 Day Song Challenge | Day 22: A Song That You Listen To When You’re Sad

Gollum’s Song by Howard Shore

Well when I’m sad I don’t really listen to music that much I guess, and if I was then I’d listen to something which would help me cheer up. That said, I’m not actually sad very often. I only really get sad when someone acts like a complete dick towards someone I care about, for example the kids my brother has the misfortune to share an existence with at school, or the teachers who tell him it’s wrong to hit them back when there’s nothing else he can do. Still, I digress. Here’s a sad song.

30 Day Song Challenge | Day 21: A Song You Listen To When You’re Happy

Prodigal Son by Sevendust

Ok, this time it’s something that’s not Disturbed. Really uplifting song, this one – the dude’s voice is awesome. I love this song, it’s an old favourite.

30 Day Song Challenge | Day 20: A Song That You Listen To When You’re Angry

The Game by Disturbed

I was going to put Face To Face by Sevendust on because I wanted some diversity, ie something not done by Disturbed. Then I remembered this song. Dirty laugh.

…rrrAH! …rrrAH!
