Master Black Belt
For some reason, the first 8 techniques in our system are referred to as yellow 1-4 and orange 1-4, not by EPAK names.
I always assumed this was because they were ones that Phil had made up rather than EPAK ones, but then I identified one as Attacking Mace (I think...).
Maybe people can put names then to these explanations (pasted in out of my big notes file, 7000 words that bugger!), or maybe they aren't EPAK ones, not sure.
If they are EPAK it'd be nice to put names to them, althoguh it's not essential don't feel forced to read through them!
