David James - 1st Degree Black Sash

My name is David and I am twenty-nine years old and I live in Birmingham with my parents. I like doing Kung Fu and I have already earnt my First Degree black sash. I am currently working on gaining my Second Degree Black Sash, using the Lau Gar Sword.

My teacher is Lau Gar Guardian, Alan Neeld, he as well as everyone else in the Redditch Lau Gar class have helped me a lot.

When I got my First Degree Black Sash, my family were all very proud of me. I have other hobbies as well as Kung Fu. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I volunteer in the League of Friends coffee shop at the hospital. They call me the "Toastie King" there because I make the best toasties.

On Tuesday, I go to a cooking class with some of my friends where we prepare and cook our lunch to eat. On Friday, I work in a Garden Centre with some friends, and then on a Saturday morning I work in a care home. I am very busy, but I like all my jobs and I enjoy seeing all my friends and going out with them.
