The noble art of self defense





Friday the 20th of June we went boxing at the local boxing club. The students had been doing an all-nighter, drinking and dancing down town, but nobody mentioned it a single time. Søren Nivå, former Danish kick boxing champ, was giving us a taste of boxing in a strenuous two hour session. I wisely volunteered to be the photographer and had lots of fun seeing the youngsters sandbagging and kicking. We ended the session with Steffen, Johanne and Sevar each fighting Søren for a round, which showed us all how exhausting and technically challenging boxing can be. A really hard day, for the students, as everyone had to get back and get ready for the Friday night cafe... They've only got a week left here at GIV, so they don't wanna miss a beat. Neither do I with this lovely bunch of guys, so I might go and check it out too...

More work please...


Just ended a week of so called work! I have the privilege of spending time at work with some of the nicest bunch of people I've ever met. We've spent a very warm week doing 1/4 Ironman, canoeing, camping outdoors, horseback riding, shooting/running, time trialing, kayaking, eating ice cream, playing kayak polo, roller skiing, playing beach volley, doing adventure race and laughed a lot. What more can you ask for in a week? More work please...

Oh, by the way, the photo is showing 2 times Pete, ie. Brother Peter and the latest victim to exercise induced asthma, Peter Riis Andersen, who's currently sweating in the heat, preparing for medical exams - good luck Pete.
