Jerome-ok, Jerome
Sunday, March 5th, 2006This is Big Jerome, small Jerome and Christian saluting in the exam for their stick form. And then the 2 Jeromes and Mathieu at the Fireworks.
The two Jeromes are both French and very good friends although didn’t know eachother before the came. Big Jerome (also known as Jerome-ok, thanks to Paul) is about 40 and from Paris. He is also taller hence Big. small Jerome is 25 and from the South of France near to Montpellier. He is shorter hence small. Both Jeromes were in my old group – Ciao Shifu’s group.
Jerome-ok
I don’t know what Jerome-ok was searching for here when he came 2 months ago with no martial arts experience. He is a mild mannered man, calm and very kind. He works in car insurance in Paris. Whatever reason he came here he has really found something. He has learnt to cart-wheel with the best of us and it is really nice to see the whole group so supportive of the oldest student here.
Petit Jerome
small Jerome has doen quite a lot of martial arts before he came and is proff of the high standard of martial arts in France. About 6 months ago he had some major knee surgery after a snow-boarding accident. And even though the doctor didn’t recommend he do this sort of training this soon, he has done really well and all is in order. Jerome is a hard-worker and consistently progresses. I think he plans to stay for 6 months and he will be a great martial artist when he leaves.
