Title : The Zen Judo CD 
Author : Brian N. Bagot
 
Publisher : Brian N. Bagot
Dear Brian
I have just received the CD. It works great. Obviously you have put a lot
of work and time into producing it and I wanted to write to say thank you. I am
in the process of reorganising and updating grading sheets and collating a
pictorial syllabus. With the help of the CD my task has become a lot easier
to say the least. I will probably insert some of our own pics and maybe
expand a few of the throws to illustrate technique but you have provided
a really useful tool to get things going. I hope all the Zen clubs buy a
copy - it's well worth it.

Thanks again
