2007 NY MartialTalk Meet & Greet

[Drac]

remember the drinks are there to relax, we still have to train on saturday.

I have learned my lesson about drinking heavy and attempting to train the next day..

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Rough plan for weekend:
Friday, socialize. There is a good (from what I heard) bar right by the hotel and an excellent lobby. Also, a town park right down the street.
Saturday, I'm thinking do a 10-6 stint, with a lunch break around 1ish. Plan on a 7-730 dinner at a chinese place. (crab legs, sushi bar, mongolian bbq, oysters and more) (estimate $11-12 each)
Sunday, see whose still around, etc.

???

 

[Carol]

Sounds good to me. I'll be making my reservations tomorrow..will be coming in Friday afternoon, heading out Monday.

Bob,
I know that your instructional slots are filled but incase there is an unexpected opening that you can't fill I will do an instructional block.
I will do one of the following area's, you guys can choose.
#1
I will cover a few of the primary theories / concepts on suppressions. A few floor suppressions will be used to demonstrate.
or,
#2
I will cover a few of the primary theories / concepts on Jujitsu. In order to demonstrate these I will cover,
a) power wrist locks,
b) power arm bars.
Please let me know before the event if you want me to instruct.

 

[crushing]

Hmmmmm. Meet & Greet v. Dunegrass & Blues Festival. Same weekend. How can I be two places at once?

Here's the fight card:
Bob Hubbard v. Particle
Jason Arnold v. Keller Williams
Tom Quinn v. Yonder Mountain String Band
Darwin J. Eisenhart v. Dark Star Orchestra
Terry & Yolanda Stoker v. Railroad Earth
Drac v. Larry McCray

I don't have to show I know anything about bluegrass or blues at the festival, but I may have to show I'm at least a little bit knowledgeable about something at the Meet & Greet. So the festival would be easier with less risk. But, I would come away from the Meet & Greet knowing a lot more about MA than I would come away from DG knowing more about bluegrass and blues. The festival is also much closer. But dang! How can I read this thread, see who is going, see who will be conducting sessions and not have those things come out on top?!?!?!

I gotta talk to my better half and see if she would like to head East with me!

I can tell one now..The first year I attended the Combat Hapkido session in Lexington Ky we had a real good drink session, they have FREE liquor during happy hour (even if the wine is second rate mouthwash)...So everybody drifts off to their rooms and I go to find mine..After walking around for 5 minutes I return to the front desk and tell them I am having some difficulty finding Room 520..In a most professional manner they inform me there is no 520 and that I am in Room 250...

Ohhhhh....I hope you can, LawDog!!!

 

[crushing]

Yep..My Grandfather almost beat me once when caught me mixing CC & GingerAle..In his book it was served 2 ways, neat, over ice with water( very little of both)..

No kidding! I don't see how anyone could waste a perfectly good gingerale like that! Yeah, I like my gingerale neat too. . .and sometimes over a little ice.

I was down at my VFW a couple weeks ago sampling some different drinks. I don't really have a taste for any liquors, and I was trying to find one to suit me. I tried a brandy (probably because I was reading Hemingway at the time and he made it sound good) and a couple different whiskeys, but ended up just going back to my regular gin and tonic.

Like I said earlier my stuff is the BASIC crappola I am forced to teach the cadets..If it wouldn't cause Bob an *** ache I would be MORE that willing to give up my block in favor of someone with the little more experience under his belt in the teaching department..I said I would teach in the beginning as there was an absence of instructors, I also said it SHOULD be taught by a black belt instructor...So we will approach the throne of he who sits on high and crave a boon...

We don't want to overwhelm those in attendance Terry..LawDog is a brother LEO and a Dan ranked instructor who has been teaching longer that I have...I have NO PROBLEM stepping aside..

Drac you are a wonderful person but I still want you to show me some of your techs. OK, by the way I will always give up time for another to make room if need be. But I really want to show some of our training techniques on delivering those powerful kicks that we do.
