Hey Guys

Sorry, but I sometimes have to work for a living and missed Steve's poat.

I'm in.

Spoke with John P (The purple belt from my club) and he's in too.

Had a beer with Scott tonight (The now infamous Glen Rock Inn) and he'll try to make it but may be in Florida.

I've got a call out to Gene from Virginia.

Marcus (The black belt at our last session) may make it. I'll speak to him next week.

Sounds like a plan guys.

Hey look...

If anyone wants their name added to the list let me know. It will help determine our teaching/game plan & to make sure we don't over book the dojo as well. After we know who will attend we can figure out our plan. For instructors/BB, each player should bring something to the table, from there we can get an idea how to handle our time correctly. For example, I know Ranger has some KM expeirence therefore we can alot time for some of his techniques & instruction. It would be nice to get a wide variety of styles to broaden our MA abilities. As we get closer to the 26th everyones participation will help make it a memorable event. Email me if you would like to discuss the event off forum.

ok cool. It is easy for me since I am not an instructor and all I have to do is show up and learn.

We have the dojo for four hours, the people that are involved should contact me with what you might like to show/instruct/teach so we can start to make up a schedule of who is who and what they would like to demonstrate. I think we can all agree that having some type of plan will make things run smoothly. Again... if you don't want to talk on the forum about it contact me via email.

schanne,
I'm sorry I lost track of the thread. I was considering the Southeast venue. I pretty sure Im a no show for the North east. Sorry. Unless I can do something really wonderful for my wife between now and then.

There seems to be a lot of people attending this event so I think JohnL had a good idea of having maybe 3-4 people lead the group possibly 1 hour each.

JohnL and I have very similar styles and share the same concepts regarding bunkai so I would like him to lead one of the sessions since he is a senior rank and has a lot more experience than I do. That and I find him to be a very good instructor.

If I do get a chance to display anything it would probably be the correlation between Atemi Jitsu (distracting blows that weaken the body) and Tuite Jitsu (Joint manipulation) and how it is in some of the kata.

Sounds good to me, first step, we need four leaders to organize each hour..... Volunteers?

Sounds good guys. Looks like Razor and I should be able to make this one. I will be happy to demo some AKK stuff or maybe a bit of WC type sensitivity stuff.

Razor and Ranger can demonstrate the latest in cosmetic surgery and bone setting techniques.
