I must make note of this date, Paul. Who knows maybe I'll get down to cork for it this year.

Oh, and thanks for notifying me of it by email the other day. Much appreciated.

I hope so man! Just don't listen to anyone trying to limit your exposure to other aspects of the martial arts cause your a kup grade!!

No probs!

To meet Rick is a real eye opener to see an 8th Dan act in such a cool and relaxed manner and hold you in the same level of respect as he would give to high ranked dan grades.

Also his jokes and dirty mind add to the whole event

Oh ya! and he knows his stuff!!

Just a note to anyone interested!! I have had to change the times by one hour in the original post and the quoted text is now correct!!

There will also be a seminar on Monday the 15th of May hosted by Sensei Brian Toomey in Fermoy Co. Cork. I will update further details as they come available.

cuz cork is the best!!

no! it's just that Jon can only get his hall for that time and i have a real good relationship with the manager of the centre i train in and can get any times i want really!! :cool:

memphis

what ya meant to say is cos Munster is best? LOL

Musashi

I'll definitely get to this one since I missed his last visit over here Paul!

Cool! And cause the Cork one is a Sunday this time we can spend more time nattering later on!! Rick and yourself can share your love all things pointy and stuff that go bang!!

Musashi wrote:

Some of it will be similar! But he will change focus a bit as he has some formats that he runs through for different applications and experience. So you will see more new stuff than old!!

Ever try getting a hall inDublin? They're like gold dust to be honest.

So I had to settle for my own training hours in the hall I use. It annoys me I can't get it for longer, but thats life

I have only held two to 3 hours sems up until now for Rick!

You will be egging on for more when the sem is finished Jon

Lucky me to have a real good relationship with the centre manager where I train!!

I just hope to god that someone turns up

memphis

I should be able to make it to Cork Paul, all going well!!

What about you Mushashi, you gonna be there?

Will I be wrecked after the 4 hours do ya think? I have only ever done a 2 hour training session at the most, and that was tough going!!!

These type of seminars are more taxing on the brain than on the body!!

But can leave you knackered all the same!!

No harm, no harm at all i'm sure. Look forward to it. Will be in touch nearer to the time for directions etc. I donno Cork all (adapts cork accent)boooooooyyyyyyyyyy!!!(/adapts cork accent):D

Musashi

I'm planning to be up for it Memphis, all going well :rolleyes:

I'll be needing those directions as well, at least from last time I know where Mayfield is now

pma-ire

The correct version of boy in Corkish is BHOY!

Al-rite feen??!!

The new hall is not that far from Mayfield and you'll find it easily enough coming from the east as you both will be!!

pma-ire

So Jon!

How did the seminar with the poor old man go??

yomchi

The old man was in top form Paul! Hard to believe he had just been under the knife. The seminar pulled in just over 30 people.
His knowledge of pressure points is second to none! He sure knows where to hurt!
My arms were still sore the next day. I got some really good feed back from the group who are eager to have him back again.

How did yours go?

memphis

Paul... how did the Cork seminar go yesterday?

Was talking to Paul in the chat room yesterday. Seems the seminar was postponed. I think it's happening today and tomorrow instead.

-Shane.

pma-ire

Thats right Shane!

Some of the groups that were involved were not able to make it yesterday! So we have grouped them in with the Fermoy seminar tonight!!

Jon,

Rick says that he loved working with the group in Dublin!

And was really impressed that people travelled some distance up the country to see him!!

He's shown me some of the pics he has on his digi camera and it looked like fun!! I'd have loved to have been there myself!! But I was driving the taxi all weekend to make up for the time off I am taking!!

We're really looking forward to the Fermoy sem tonight in Sensei Brian Toomey's hall!!

yomchi

Hope it goes well Paul!
We really had a blast, even the other ITF guys found decent applications for their patterns!

All my own students are pestering me to get him back! I've created a monster LOL

The reaction down here has not been as good as Dublin.

But will be a good one tonight!!

Jon wrote:

I worked out a whole load of great applications for Chang Hon patterns before I moved to the Chung Do Kwan type stuff!! They are so clse to the Shotokan forms that it don't take much to crossover.

My buddy Matt in the UK has based a whole syllabus based on pressure tested applications for the Chang Hon.

That will happen! He has such an open and happy air about him!! No Master BS

pma-ire

we had a blast tonight!!

there were tkd and shotokan folk there from waterford, galway and cork!

i think there may have been folk from tipp?? but not sure!!

what really gets people is that rick is only a week and a half after having a major heart surgery and he can still perform this stuff on fitter and stronger guys!!

it really shows that skill in technique can over come strength!!

thanks to all that hosted and supported this time around!!

Scotland and then snaking down the UK to finish in about a week and a half to two weeks away??

He will be back around November this year and is eager to try and get as many interested parties involved in the next Irish visit as the interest has been so good!!
