This thread (I need a BJJ Translator) reminded me of the last meetup we had and made me interested in another meetup. Last time we met in the spring, in kentucky.

New Years sounds like the perfect time to start planning the next one. Last year we met in kentucky in the spring; I know not everyone lives near the area. Before I start planning it, should do some information gathering.

Would people be interested in another MT meetup, and if so where would you be willing to travel and when? Once I get some responses, I'll create an actual poll based on the info provided, and the decision will be based on that poll. But initial information is very important, so please respond to this thread if it's something you're interested in.
 
Personally, I've always wanted to travel to australia. And I know @drop bear and @_Simon_ are over there, though I don't know how close y'all are. That said, it'd be my vacation for the year, and an expensive one, so idk how practical that is for everyone else here. Personally I've got no vacation plans set for this year, so if the recommendation is Australia, the UK, New england or seattle, I can probably use any of those as an excuse for my vacation.

I’m definitely up for another one and would be willing to host again if folks want to come to Kentucky.

I’d also be willing to travel a bit, although probably not internationally. I’m hoping to spend vacation time this year visiting a friend and training partner in Germany, so that’s going to use up my budget for expensive airline tickets.

i would love to come if I could make it but I can’t be sure yet because of work.

Which airport is near your gym?
 
For the record I've no issue heading back to Kentucky. My statement about international was thinking about the members that aren't in the USA. If we did again in Kentucky, that'd be an easy trip for me, but also only a Weekend trip.

I think I'm going to include locales in the next survey poll, unless this thread clearly indicates people prefer kentucky.

I can’t vote because I can’t commit yet. I’m very supportive of the idea regardless.
 
Just so you know this is about where I am in relation to the rest of Australia.

But we are also on the great barrier reef. So it is a worthwhile visit.

Hopefully I’ll be moving back to Massachusetts in the next few years. When I do I’d love to meet up with you guys. But I won’t be doing any training, I’m hanging up the gloves, not going to do any more training other than stretching and walking.

My body is too beat up and broken. It was a good run, though, I wouldn’t change a minute of it.

Taijiquan
 
Soon as I’m back to Boston, brother, first thing. You would think one could find it here. But all I’ve ever found was what I call the Cosmic Oatmeal Cookie kind.
Taijiquan.....YMAA, Gin Soon Tai Chi Club, and there may be another I hope to check out soon, just outside of Boston. And if all goes well....I'll be in Southern NH or Southern Maine if 3 or 4 years. Also there is a rather good Chen guy in the Boston area too. Use to be a Daoist gate group as well, but the main guy, Zhou Shifu, is now in NH

I’m going right back to that place in Roslindale you sent me to. (If it’s still there.)
I loved that place.

I’ll find it. My first dojo and first boxing gym were in Roslindale Square. YMAA, the one I went to, was just outside the Square heading towards Forrest Hills.
