    Ruth will be coming along to help demonstrate also.

    I will post in more detail what people can expect from the session over the next week or two.

    Sooo, it seems there is quite a good chance I'll be coming and I may not come alone! There are two of us, but some complications may occur :(
    So far we are checking for cheap accommodation and plane tickets. It would probably be best for us if we stayed Saturday - Tuesday (to also make the trip worth it) :) I found a nice hotel - Royal House - in High Wycombe. Do you have any experience with that place? Or does any of you locals have any tips for a good place to stay? :) London or High Wycombe?

    Good news Nachi. if you can make it I'll cover the cost of the actual MAP Meet.

    I don't know the Royal House, but will ask John Titchen who knows the area well.

    If you wish I'm sure we can get you some further training, or sight seeing.

    Thank you very much Simon. Any tips would be good! Although as I further looked into it, the Royal House seems to be what we are looking for. Cheap and with a kettle in the room. I can't be bothered by details as long as I have unlimited access to tea :D
    Any further training or sightseeing, would be, of course, much appreciated, but we don't want to be a bother.

    I stayed in a great little hotel literally around the corner from the venue when I was there for a jiu jitsu tournament.....it's called Malvern House. Found it on Bookings.com

    I've been contacted by Janno asking when the meet was on. Unfortunately he'll be in the Philippines will hopefully be able to get one of his guys to take an FMA session.

    If it's anything like last year it'll be awesome.

    It's also great news that Unreal Combat will be taking a session.

    The only thing that prevented that last year was instructor insurance, but this year I'll be putting him on my insurance policy.

    Big thanks for that. As I stopped teaching for a while and let my insurance run out previously it was something that held us back last time. Glad to be able to sort something out for that as I have loads to pass on from training in Thailand and fights etc since I last ran a session at a MAP Meet.

    Aiming to make it a session that even the traditional practitioners can take something away from, so get involved! :)

    Not long now folks.

    I'll get the Just Giving page sorted soon.

    I have decided that in addition to debunking the trapping hands myth I'm also going to be covering the straight blast. :D

    It's a much derided move from Wing Chun that many say doesn't work.

    I'll demonstrate otherwise.

    Its a term used by jkd to refer to something wing chun folks say doesn't exist and is a bastardized version of a move they teach to help train to cover the centerline

    Looking forward to it

    Previously I've tried to cover some "old school" methods that
    a) are relatively easy to implement for folks from different styles,
    b) may come in handy off the mats, and
    c) are hopefully interesting examples of "old vs new" for the more experienced martial artists attending the session

    This year I'd like to share some of the work that I've been doing to develop a solid set of escapes from the key positions used to control people on the ground (self defence scenario rather than IBJJF rules). In my view every martial artist today needs at least some basic answers to getting back on their feet if taken to the floor

    I really enjoyed the HEMA session last year so if people are interested then I can bring some bo and swords and we can explore the armed methods from a traditional japanese samurai school called Kukishinden - maybe as a separate session if time allows?
    Please let me know if that'd be of interest and I can source some 6ft sticks and boken ahead of time

    I don't care what is done on the ground, as long as it is on the ground :D
    Sport or SD - I don't care.

    I'd like that!
    I suck at it, but I'd like it :D


    great, now I have to face, that I'm a coward and finally need to contact Mitch :oops::rolleyes:

    Half Accurate - it originated in Bruces reading and training in Wing Chun rather than “orthodox” schools

    There are also several versions of it - Bruce taught 5 variations

    So he wasn't shown it but discovered it for himself whilst adding to his unfinished training from yip man?

    If that's the case it's not wing chun it's jkd
