I was invited by a fellow MT member whom I used to worth with here in Detroit. I knew *and know* nothing about knife fighting, but I learned a lot about how my karate blocks don't bloody work against a knife person who knows what they're doing. I believe I was a brown belt then, but I was at least in decent shape. Didn't help.
Sounds great to me, can we do it in fall so I can enjoy the beauty of Kentucky also?
Dig around, and you'll see posts about the past meet ups. That's loosely the format -- a seminar day at a gym/training hall, followed by a dinner get-together.
It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been in Fall.
You have to get the timing exactly right for that. A week to early and it'll look like mid-summer still.
Food for thought: What if we start building a curriculum that the meeting(s) would cover?
I think that'd be putting the cart before the horse. First figure out logistics of meeting, then once that's in place and we know who will be able to show up, we can build out a schedule for the meetup.
It would be little more than thinking paper in the beginning, but it would be good motivation to get people to show up.
How do you do that when you don't know who would be there to teach this curriculum?
If anyone gets a chance, take Tony up on this. It’s a nice facility with nice people. And Tony will be there, too!
I'm actually saving up for it. I want to hit up NC then Kentucky.. But probably not in the same trip lol. Either way I want to at least get in a day of rest. I'm not sure I want to train hard then drive after a hard training. That was one thing I was concerned about when Tony visited. I knew he had a long drive ahead of him so I didn't want him to hit the road all worn out.
We have secretly volunteered you.
If you come through NC let me know. I live on the northern end of it.
It's a bit of back and forth, because who can lead might dictate locations, timing, and so on... and vice versa.
Holler if you head up toward NC. Unfortunately, I have nowhere to train these days (I'm currently trying to give away my mats, too - just taking up space downstairs in the corner). But I'd love to hang out a bit and ramble about MA for a while!
Wait, was that supposed to be a secret? I've been telling everyone at work.
Dammit Bwoy!
