Urban Krav Maga in 2009
First of all, Happy New Year and this year I resolve to update the news here much more assiduously. It’s going to be a very busy time so let’s kick off with the highlights for the early part of the year:
Events in 2009:
There’s a lot happening in the early months of this year. I’m doing: a seminar for the Chinese Community Assocition in Limehouse on the 17th of January which, given the Martial Arts Tradition in that community, is a nice honour; a general/instructor training seminar in Northern Ireland on 24/25 January which has attracted interest across the 6 Counties A repeat of the successful training on a Bus seminar, on 8th February. This is done in conjunction with the police in South East London, takes place in Plumstead bus depot and covers primarily how to defend yourself if attacked when sitting down and/or trapped in a confined space. Limited spaces on this one so let me know as soon as possible if you’re interested. It will take place between 10:30am and 2:30pm and will cost £30.
Urban Confidence Seminar
We’re doing a seminar on 28 February with Simon Jordan, the UK’s top Confidence Coach: see his website here:http://www.simonjordan.com/index_old_bakup.php
called Urban Confidence. There’s some interesting connections between what he and I teach in terms of approach and intent so this should be very interesting. Details to follow – again, please let me know as sson as possible if you’re interested.
Instructor Training/General Seminars
For the first group this year the weekend training sessions will be: 13-15 March (the 13th is a Friday, we train from 7pm –10pm) 20-22 March And a final weekend, dates yet to be confirmed, probably 4 - 6 April. Will be finlised very quickly. These dates will also be open for people wishing to attend on a general seminar basis. They’ll be tough but you’ll learn a hell of a lot. Again, space limited so let me know if you’re interested when you can.
Team Minotauro UK
I’m delighted to say that my friend Leo Negao is back from Brazil. Leo is a top Brazilian Jiu Jutsu practioner and Mixed Martial Artist. I’ll be resuming my very painful training with him amd will be helping him to establish Team Minotauro, Antonio Noguiera’s world-renowned MMA organisation – in London.
I hope 2009 is a good one for you.
Cheers,
