    Hang on, I'll have his name for you shortly. I only know him as that lanky streak of piss, Chris.

    Thanks for the support from everyone.

    As a side note, we are available as a venue if you have a seminar or event, plus have a look at the timetable (www.wildgeesema.com) and see if there is an available timeslot for you to teach your class from.

    Ah that could be anyone in MMA :). Just wondering cos I like to think I know everyone :). I usually hear when someone is thinking about teaching.

    Best of luck with it again. I took the big plunge a year ago into a full time facility and while there are pitfalls, financial insecurities, crazy bills you never thought existed and a variety of other things, I'd never go back!

    Two princesses and I joined a few weeks ago, it's excellent!
    We're only making Sunday nights at the moment but we're trying to swap our schedule round so that we can make another couple of nights.

    The instructor's really knowledgeable, very capable, and -most importantly- creates a safe and friendly training environment.

    Nice one. Pom Pui! The Tuesday class would suit me nicely to head along to every once in a while. I could get home by 9.

    Will it be more aimed at beginners? Or will you accommodate people with some experience too?

    Roper,you better not have nits!!

    Ryoshin, that was like one time, and I had no idea that it was your girlfriend's thong!

    And Khainne, there are a few absolute beginners, a couple of kickboxers, making the cross over to Thai, a couple of sluggers and a couple of grizzled veterans. More girstle than you'd think too.

    Roper, pm sent.

    I'll never make it as a scretary

    8.30-10, an hour and a half, although they often get started a little early if the previous group vacates the floor.

    how come this was left open when the wing chun one was closed? there both advertising there clubs...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,485 ✭✭✭✭Khannie


    I think because this one is several years old and is only on the front page because someone asked a question (hence the "arise" comment from makikomi). If it had been posted today it would get the same treatment. I can close it if it really bothers you?

    Thanks, but I wasn't going to bother answering him.

    If he wasn't trying to stir it a simple PM, or a little 'cop-on', would have got him the same answer.

    Lets close it all the same.

    **I understand my comments above caused OLDMAN1 some offence as it came across as rude.

    Well I don't wish to cause offence to anyone, so I withdraw the remarks as there was no offence mean't.**


    Most forum charter's on boards are clear on questioning a moderator's decision, our's is/was vague, this will be corrected now so I suggest everyone read's it.
