Truebjj Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 There are a lot of Martial Artist posting on here, some doing the same style and some very different. I would like to make the suggestion, rather than just discuss what we all do on the internet we should get together to show what our styles are and what they offer (as they all have something to offer!!) From what I gather from the mix we have bjj and sub wrestling with myself and Steve but there's Traditional jj, Karate, Kung Fu, Kickboxer and jkd instructors to name a few. I'm sure someone has a venue that will accommodate us all and we will, I’m sure, all learn something. What do you guys and girls think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddylee Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 like a mixed seminar? sounds like a good idea if you can get everyone to agree if you get what i mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazB Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Perhaps if it was structured well... Otherwise you'll just get a load of "My martial art is much better than yours because..blah blah blah" people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truebjj Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 I understand what you are both saying but i would hope it could be well structure and we can all be adult about it:D I'm willing to put it together so all is equal and everyone has their time to do their bit.

DaFoot Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I would love to come along to such a do...and may be able to bring a couple of Judo peeps with me. Went to a similar thing last year in York...each style there got an hour to play with. Good fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I probably won't have time to attend, but if it helps i've been involved in organising a similar thing in the past. The way we did it in the past was to select 3 or 4 instructors from different backgrounds, get a venue and private insurance, and then have the instructors each teach about 1hr of whatever they liked. There were no attitude problems, everyone has thoroughly enjoyed the courses (I think we're upto 7 now all across the country from Bristol to Edinburgh, via Manc and Shef). As a guideline, we've normally found that 10 - 15 will cover insurance, dojo/mat hire and travel expenses for the teaching instructors. It's cheaper if someone has a dojo they can volunteer to be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr1sag Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 great idea! i''ve just started kickboxing and love it but it would be good to do a bit of other styles. If the idea takes off i'd be up for it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarraGergus Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 i'd be up for that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam S Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Now that does sound like a good idea. I've been thinking along the same lines for a while. I went to a mixed martial arts seminar in Nottingham a year ago and it was very well organised, and very well taught, without the "ego" problems which you might worry about. We had Judo, Jujitsu, Ninjitsu, Karate, wing chun and knife fighting. It was really good fun. Please let me know if you organise anything, I'd be up for it. I'd be more than happy to help teach some karate if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
