My name is Camilo Bandes, and when I was younger, I never had many friends. Some could say none at all. I was that strange, quite, obese child who most seemed to say would never amount to much. In fact they would have probably been right had I not found Antas Fitness and Self Defense. Through my teachers guidance, Master Anta has not only taught me how to live fit, but also to live fearless, to have confidence in myself and in what I do and what I will do in the future.
About three years ago around the age of 17, I weighed an astonishing 240 pounds. I am exactly five feet 8 inches in height, so it was obvious that I was borderline obese. In fact for most of high school I was overweight, making it the hardest time of my life. People would chew me out, call me names, pick on me, look down on me with pity because of how I looked, acted, and my lack of confidence. I would never give speeches in class, nor would I raise my hand to answer a question. I was unable to go up a flight of stairs without losing my breath the first few steps. It was a bad situation, so bad that I started to agree with the people around me saying I would never amount to much. I felt useless, alone. I felt like a loser. When I started college, it was sort of a strange time for me. I know that to survive I needed to be stronger, but I didn’t know what to do.
When I went to buy groceries, I found the school of Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense. I decided to put my fears away for one moment and try it out, my first class being Muay Thai. The first class was not easy at all; in fact I dare say it was one of the most intense things I have ever felt. But even after all that, something inside of me did not want to quit. I kept going to the classes and eventually ended up joining the Kung Fu course. While I was there my Master taught me a couple of things that have made me the man I am now. He taught me to be confident in myself, to be strong. This world isn’t fair, which is why we have to stand strong, we have to be strong, and we have to think with confidence. My favorite quote of his is while we are doing exercise is when he says “Live fit”, in which we respond with “live fearless sir!” Live Fit, Live Fearless, I am honestly basing my life on that quote, because it is the quote that defines me now. After two years at Antas Fitness I am now twenty years old, I weigh 180 pounds, I can run up a flight of stairs with ease, I walk with confidence, talk with confidence, and live with confidence. I no longer doubt my abilities, I can do more than I ever thought was possible and now I can say with pride that I am strong, I am confident, I no longer live in fear of how others see me nor how I act or who I am. I even teach classes now as an Instructor in training, so that children may learn early what it means to live with confidence. My name is Camilo Bandes, I live fit, I live fearless.I was that strange, quite, obese child who most seemed to say would never amount to much. In fact they would have probably been right had I not found Antas Fitness and Self Defense. Through my teachers guidance, Master Anta has not only taught me how to live fit, but also to live fearless, to have confidence in myself and in what I do and what I will do in the future.

no unless they put gates on that could be oepend and closed so we could gain access and reminded them it was our right. They said they would do this if I paid for the gates which I said I would not as I couldn't afford to.The last time I went down the garden (about 8 weeks ago) they had leaned some old ornamental gates across the opening, I wasn't entirely happy with this. I now have a little spare time and hopefully some funds with which to sort our entire garden out. Tonight I have fought my way through the jungle and have seen that my neighbour has secured these ornamental gates in place, along the bottom into the drive and also via a bracket onto the brick wall (which as far as I can tell is mine).Can anyone advise please? I am loathe to engage a solicitor as at the end of proceedings have to live here and also would struggle to pay one. My initial reaction is to unbolt these gates and lean them against my neighbours house although talking to them first is probably the best plan. My gut feeling though is they will just insist there doing it to keep the grand kids out of our jungle.As far as i'm aware 1.they have no right to block the drive2.have no right to block access to my property3.have no right to affix anything to my garden wall4.i have no obligation to fence my property in my circumstances5.i am within my rights to ask them to remove this fence and if they do not then remove it myself and send them the bill for doing so.thanks in advance, I can take photos if needed.editjust to answer a few points.The gates they have erected are bolted together and to the driveway they cannot be oepend without the use of tools and probably 20 mins time ttwo people.Yes our rear garden is overun however it is our garden it is not my responsibilty to ensure my neighbours grand kids / visitors etc do not trespass onto it. I do not allow my young children to enter it, they could if they were unsupervised but as a responsible parent I don't leave young children without adequate supervision.As originally stated I am not unreasonable they are welcome to put up a fence as long as they put gates in so I can access my property which I have a right to do so. It is not me who blocks the driveway meaning I can't get a wheelbarrow down least alone a van to actually enable my to sort the garden out.To finish and clarify it is our garden, not our part of a shared one.
