2007 NY MartialTalk Meet & Greet

I did not fully understand that this MartialTalk get together was really a Tim Hartman stick seminar. I was under the impression that it was a casual get together with everyone showing a little of their stuff.
I have decided not to attend, maybe another time. Have a good time one and all.


Lawdog I hope ypou reconsider Mr Hartman is not even one of the insrcutors this year, come and drink with me Drac and carol and the rest of the gang.
 
Terry1965,
Ok, as long as we can get the gang from the "last word" forum wrecked by evenings end.
As for Tim Hartman, he is a top of the line instructor and a good person, it had nothing to do with him at all. I just did not to be involved within a structured & controlled setting. Loose and easy is the way to go for a greet and meet.
See you there,
 
Last year we had an informal single elimination padded stick competition. simple rules, 1 point per hit, 5 points wins. It was alot of fun, even though most of the folks who participated weren't stickjocks. My nephew who I've given some instruction to I wouldn't say I've really instructed him, just showed him some basics) came in second. (I came in 3rd, lol). If there is enough interest we may do this again this year. School has the gear, but some folks prefer their wn stuff. (I know I prefer my head gear over loaner stuff, lol).


If we have anyone who does FMA teaching, they'll probably do some stick work. Also I believe Kreth did some Bujinkan stick work as well. Again, I like my sticks, don't care for loaners. Arnis sticks, Kali sticks, hey, it's a length of rattan no matter what ya call it. :)


Training knives are available there, but again, I like my aluminum trainer. (Made by Jason Arnold from London Canada - plug plug plug) :D


I'll probably do a short 10-15 minute thing on some of my theatrical fighting concepts. Less a "street" drill, and more a 'here some ideas on modifying what you do that's effective to work for stage and film" thing. It's something I've been playing with the last few years, and while far from polished, might be fun, and hey, feedback's always good.



Things are a little 'nuts' right now, so I'm a bit random here. Just finished a camp, took like 400+ pictures this weekend, and still need to process and edit them for upload and printing. I'll check on the hotel tomorrow.

See you there,
Alan,
The meets are most certainly relaxed and loose. It's good training certainly, and you get a taste of everything. I think everyone who've been here the last few year will agree, we're just getting better a we go. Last years was a lot of fun.


We're not doing the Anchor Bar this year though.....they may have invented the Chicken Wing, but I've had much better at other places. lol!
