Quote from Chris Gillies, editor of SA Martial arts E-Newsletter
“Thanks must go to the tireless efforts of Kym Reid & Terry Riches of the IBF. They work very hard to bring martial artists together in an ego-free environment to share their skills without want of profit. $100 would be good value to train for four hours under expert instruction, however the IBF only asked for $10 to cover hall hire, plus pizza and drinks were provided at the end. The IBF’s noble efforts have allowed many martial artists to expand their horizons and to forge new friendships.”
