    MAP MEET 2017 IS ON.

    There will be a threat to follow with instructor profiles, travel details and so on, but we want to get in early and confirm the date, which is...

    Saturday 10th June 2017.

    Venue will be High Wycombe Judo Centre.

    We have return of the Smurf.

    Yes Smurf is out of retirement and back on the mats. Shake his hand at your peril.

    dunc makes a very welcome return, as does Janno.

    Also this year is a superb Tai Chi instructor and one who knows and can apply the practical side.

    I know this because he's my Tai Chi instructor and he is awesome.

    He'll cover some Qigong for meditation and relaxation, then show some real world applications.

    I'm going to abuse my MOD powers and allow one person to pick the charity.

    If you went to the 2014 meet you'll have met Charli, one of my students.

    Sadly her brother Dan passed away on Wednesday and he was only in his 30s.

    He was a keen fundraiser and travelled the world helping others.

    Charli will pick a charity that was close to Dan's heart.

    If you are one of them foreign types ;) and can't make the meet then fear not, because this year we'll be streaming the meet live to our Facebook page.

    If any other instructor around the world can either on the day, or very close to the day do something that would be great, even if it's charging another 50 pence/half dollar etc that can be given to a local charity of your choosing.

    If you could Facebook live a section of the class to the Facebook page that would be awesome.

    All meets are awesome and there won't be a single person who won't have made a new friend there, but this one means a lot to me, so let's go international and knock it out of the water.

    10th June 2017, see you there.

    Charli will pick a charity

    would love to stream the event, but does that mean that i have to have a facebook account to do so?

    is there a possibility to use another platform? like google hangouts or periscope?

    MMA related I assume? It will help my guess work!

    Also, I was serious about the blood drive.

    And sparring this year? :D

    Aaaah, I was just thinking it would be cool to go on a MAP meet, should there be one. And full of hope I opened the thread only to find out it's on a day I'll be on my way to a karate "seminar" in Croatia. :bang:

    So unlucky. But there's always next year, I guess...
    I'll be at least looking forward to what the program will be like so I have a legitimate reason to bite my nails off in frustration :D

    Can you arrange a proper entry this year, with both entourage and an appropriate entrance song playing as you parade in?

    Unreal Combat will be teaching Muay Thai.

    Time to start drawing up the line up for the day.

    Once I've done that we'll get the Just Giving page up.
