Andre Bertel Self-Training: February 14th, 2021 (Dedicated to my dear friend Morgan Dilks).

Today I completed my regular daily self-training; however, it was not regular today. My dear friend Morgan Dilks passed away last Monday and the celebration of his life was held on Friday. It was a great honor to be able to attend this here in Japan online. My wife and I were deeply moved by it. Today’s training, I dedicated to Morgan. He was here this time last week, so I dedicate this practice to him. We’ve done a lot together over the last 20 years. From time training in Steve Elers dojo, when Steve brought me up for a seminar; to my wife and I staying with him and Yuko at their home (before we were all parents) when I entered my final National competition; to his visits to my dojo here in Japan to do private training; to his travelling to Christchurch to train; to his hosting of my seminars in Palmerston North; to training in his garage. The list could, of course, go on and on. My family and I have great gratitude to Morgan, Yuko, Yuri and Miya. God Bless you all, you are all greatly loved. Lastly,
