New School In London, ON

[KenpoGirl]

This evening I participated in the first official class (well okay 2nd there was one in the afternoon) for a brand new school in London, Ontario.

London Martial Arts
520 Springbank Dr, Unit 5
London, ON
(519) 474-7161

Owner and Head Instructor - Bryson Ingrim
Senior Instructor - Jason Arnold (Jaybacca)

Open for the next two weeks for current students and friends with previous training. Open September 3rd to new students. Hoping to have Gou out on a regular basis and anyone else who wants to show up.

Side Note:
This was also my first class back to regular training, I can tell you it was a humbling experience to huff and puff through an hour class. But, besides having to pick my lungs up off the floor and putting them back in my chest, it felt Damn Good. I'll be back again tomorrow and the day after and so on. Until I can get back to where I was a year and a half ago and even better I hope.

Dot
:asian:

P.S. I'm in the process of building his website. I'll post it here when I'm done. I'm not a professional designer like a few people on here, but it will be a good quaility site to show off what the school has to offer.

[tunetigress]

Hey Dot, congratulations on getting out to class at last! Glad you weren't too exhausted to retreive your lungs and crawl back home to post and tell us about it. I should be so lucky......

[lifewise]

Congratulations to London Martial Arts!

The school looks great - you guys did a wonderful job! :) If the walk-in inquiries are any indication, you will have a good student base in no time.;)

[lifewise]

Really looking forward to seeing that web site Dot! Just better not have any of "those" pictures on it .... ok, please!!!!

Camera shy.

I'll have to speak with Jaybacca on the times he will be there teaching first. I'd like to speak with Bryson at some point and another guy here in town who does Systema as well regarding a possible Systema class. But who knows, I may just come to watch you huff and puff.
:rolleyes:

[kenpo3631]

Congrats to the school! Great to see Jaybacca will be able to help you guys out. He's knowlgeable, pick his brain....:D

Don't worry LW I'm in those pictures too, and it's not my first priority to plaster myself up on the site. Remember we are suppose to be Attracting Students, not scaring them away.

It was great to be able to work out with you again. How are your arms? Any bruises? It's been a long time since we've had a good session of "trapping hands" it was fun. Looking forward to working with you and the others on a regular basis.

Kenpogirl,

I have been talking with Life, about the possiblity of me coming down there to meet with you gals and guys and take a lesson in Kenpo.. Im not looking to switch over.. im just interested in all the different styles of MA.. and you girls seem to have lots of fun.. I think it would be a blast.. i'll keep an eye out for the website, and I'll keep in touch about a visit!!

Congrats once again!!

[GouRonin]

Bring your friends if they're hot babes. I have this special "Parker Stretch" I can show them.
:rolleyes:

[lifewise]

I think we BOTH KNEW I would have bruises now didn't we Dot????

Ah, good times!

Don't worry Eraser, we will not try to convert you to Kenpo ...

Yes we do have fun. Actually - the woman who walked in the school last night said she thought it looked like fun too. She was there talking with Bryson while we were left .... um... "unsupervised" :) doing a trapping hands drill.

Oh, and just ignore Gou's comment. BUT - Kenpo Girl is single if you want to bring an eligble male friend with you.
(Sorry Dot - I had too)

Gee!! I didn't think I hit her THAT hard. Should we call 911? :EG:

Gee, thanks for the support there Rob!!!

And since you are giving out codes for the pad at the door - want to share the security code too???? :)

That will cost you. The bidding starts at $10 000.00

[KenpoGirl]

LOL Rob are you auctioning off LW or the security code? Maybe trying to make a little extra income for the school eh? :rofl:

Well back from day 2 at the school. I did my best not to loose my lungs today. Still hard stuff, Mr. Ingram does a very good workout. He likes skipping, but my knee doesn't so I jog in place which doesn't seem to affect it at all, figure that one out. :confused:

It is sooooo nice to work out and really concentrate on techniques again. Mr. Ingram was trying to make my "hit" him, in alternating maces. I can connect with the chest no problem, but I always stop short at the final strike to the side of the head. He made me do it 20 times right after each other yelling "Harder" but except for one or twice I just couldn't do it. Must be the insurance person in me all I see is "LAWSUIT" floating above his head. ;)

I'll keep you posted.

:rofl: I know it is late in the evening for me, and that might contribute to my confusion but ... are we having an auction at London Martial Arts? If so, what/who is on sale?????

I think Rob either quoted the wrong post or has been spending too much time on ebay.

HEY! That better be the security code he was talking about!!!!!!

:(

[Rob_Broad]

I would only auction off the security override code, I know it has value. Just kidding.

Are you gonna get it the next time you and LW meet.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Rob_Broad]

That is odd, the post I quoted was "Gee, thanks for the support there Rob!!!

And since you are giving out codes for the pad at the door - want to share the security code too???? " Don't know how it ended up quoting the other post.

Now I am wondering if I could auction people away on ebay, sounds like a good idea to me.

I am somewhat bothered by this last post but yes I suppose it is true, - the "black book value" on vertically challeged, almost middle aged (I SAID ALMOST) women is understated.

:p

[lifewise]

In an effort to bring this back on track here - I am glad you had a good workout at LMA Kenpo Girl.

Looks like they have plans for you to be a six night regular at the club.

Too late to back peddle now Rob!!! You're a marked man. We may not be black belts, but a angry female is a dangerous thing.

That's the plan my dear. But tell me .... is the term Studio Rat a compliment or not??? :confused:

[lifewise]

Oh Kenpo Girl, I forgot to tell you that Rob will be in town tomorrow!!!! Earlier this evening I asked him if he was going to stop by and take part in the class with us... sure hope he is not too tired. :duel:

[KenpoGirl]

Hope to see you out there Rob. See what the place looks like all cleaned up and official like.

I'll be there, not sure if LW will be able to make it, but should be fun.

I have to speak with both Bryson and Vlad regarding this. If Vlad says no I can't do it. If Bryson says no. I can't do it. So when I have the time I want to talk with each and figure something out.

[tunetigress]

Jeesh! You guys are making me want to move back to London!:cool:

[lifewise]

So you want to join us do you Tune? lol.

I finished the one class and headed home since I had the kids with me. As I was driving home I began to wonder if it is smarter to block Kenpo Girl or just to let her hit you .... :) I am going to pay for this class tomorrow!

Really though the school is great and I am looking forward to having our guest (Eraser) from Windsor join us for a class. It is too bad you are so very far away.

Who hit Who in the nose today??? You that's Who!!! I may have some strength behind me but you're a fast little bugger. I'll have to keep my eye on you. (should have done that before she hit me of course. D'oh)

Other than that little incident things went well, I actually remember ALMOST all of the techniques I have learned so far, after not training for at least a month. I know, my Bad, but that's in the past, things are feeling like old time now.

My math is rusty but your $20.00 and my $10.00 makes $30.00 now doesn't it?

Math good! we should expect to see blood for that kind of money.

Wrong! You're both Canadian--that's only about 15 real dollars.

[arnisador]

Those of you who know me, back me up--I'd never actually bust on the Canadians, would I?

[GouRonin]

Take it easy on his Rob, I suspect he may have gotten a hold of some real beer from Canada and may have gotten in over his head.
:rolleyes:

[lifewise]

Ok - so that's $20.00 from Rob, and $10.00 from Gou ....


Hmmm. Lets see if I understand this.... Two guys willing to pay money to see two women fight .... interesting :rolleyes:

The hell with the seminar Gou, you should just arrange this match! :rofl:

[lifewise]

Lucky for all of us on here tonight - Kenpo Girl is at a class this evening. I hate to be around when she gets a look at this.

I would mock my Neighbors to the 'East of Me'

And at 0.64 USD to 1 Loonie I think the $19 and change in USD would still allow for some blood,
of course only by accident. :D

Yes Lifewise, if this 'Match' was arranged then I think their would be a big purse for both fighters.

Jusy my opinion.

KenpoGirl,

I am still looking for the counter to this one technique. When ever a women is swinging a frying pay at me I just stand their in awe and I am unable to move.

You do realize that I thought everyone was just making fun of the situation. And I stepped in to bother Gou and Arnisador.

I sense a common enemy.

I hate to have to admit it, but the only beer I like is Molsen.

On the other hand I ordered a bacon cheeseburger in Toronto and they asked me what kind of bacon I wanted--regular, back, or 'peameal'. That ain't civilized.

Ah well, between growing up in Buffalo and have a Canadian boss at work I am prone to slam my ever-so-polite neighbors to the Great White North. On the plus side they did give us Rush, and snow.

You shouldn't even THINK about doing it without his knowledge, I mean, that'd be so underhanded!

If I only had 1/2 the nerve I had when I was younger you would have your pictures Kirk - and some good ones too ...

But I can see where I could make some extra cash ... I just have to participate in a "cat fight" with Kenpo Girl to rake it in from Rob and Gou ... and take pictures to post on here to get money from you! ;)

I have the no pic policy because there are unscrupulous people out there always wanting to make a buck off my sculpted, beautiful, yet ever so haunting, features.

Not only do they have TV.....but they've got swingball too! Can't see any rackets though....

Can I just point out how lucky a lot of you Americans are to have proper fitted dojos, here in Britain most (not all) clubs just have to hire community centers and church halls etc., so there's no room for pictures and equipment and the like, it's just 4 walls and a bare wood floor :(

Mr. Hartman has gone to considerable trouble and expense to make his school first-class all the way.

You can go to http://wmarnis.com and look at the WMAA camp photos for some good shots of Tims school.

and just so you don't get your hopes up. It's only pic's of Jaybacca, Gou, Bryson, and another fella doing some Arnis.

You'll have to wait for pic's of LW and myself, as Gou's said we are negotiating our appearance fee. ;)

He has to find someone with a scanner before he can show off those pictures. So it will be a while before that happens.

That Fella is Dave and he's not only a nice guy but a pretty good martial artists to boot.

For us that are not great at back tracking and finding the original link, could we have a fresh link to all these pictures?

I would like to check out the lok of the club and the arnis as well. :)

Thanks

No worried Mr. Parsons. The pictures of the school and the arnis class have not been posted yet. I will do my best to upload them later tonight.

I'll probably post them off my personal site, until a certain new school owner gets the promised information together so that I can build his site!!!! hint hint :shrug:

I am still reeling in shock from the fact that you were there but decided not to take the floor with us while we all worked out. At least lifewise had an excuse of being late due to family. For shame...

I had trained from Monday to Friday for at least and hour usually more each day. (I didn't see you there BTW :p ) My knee was killing me and instead of making it worse I took the day off.

So Sue me!!! :2xbird:

BTW you skip like a girl!!! :p

Hey Gou, was the grappling suppose to be part of the class on Saturday? Because if it WAS, Kenpo Girl surely could have joined in on that even with a bad knee .... don't you think? ;)

Hmmm, I doubt they'd be interested ........ It looked like the "Boys" were having much too much fun, I didn't want to interrupt.

Actually with all the compromising positions they were getting into I thought perhaps they wanted some privacy. ESPECIALLY when the giggling started. :eek:

I hear tell there are dozens of sites on the web that would pay good money to watch two sweaty grown men writhing about on the floor and giggling while they do it. It was a scary site I'll tell you. Not for the weak of stomach thats for sure.

Think I'll talk to Bryson about installing a webcam to supliment his income. ;)

I dunno. The grappling wasn't part of the class, just us all having fun. But I have to say that when we were doing the grappling vs 2 attackers she was the worst second attacker ever. I think it's because she wanted to be in Bryson's guard instead of me.

I agree with you Gou. If I had been a little quicker it might have been a lot more interesting.

"You want me to do what, Gou??? Kick you in the head? SURRRREE no problem."

Lucky for you I was in a good mood on saturday. NOW, if you asked me that again after all the friendly and supportive things you been saying..........

"Rob? What was that code again to call the ambulance???" heh heh heh

Take your right hand and hold it palm up facing you.

Stick your thumb out at a 90 degree angle from your hand.

Now point the thumb directly at you.

Bend your 4 fingers so that they also point their tips at you.

Touch your fingers to your thumb and release repeatedly.

I see you doing a lot of that.

Now stop and hold the fingers and the thumb together.

I want you to be doing that.

Ha ha ha ha!

No biggy we can take it, and when it gets too rough we will retaliate. A mild example.

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said: "Today I am going to create a land called Canada, it will be a land of outstanding natural beauty. It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles, beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout, forests full of elk and moose, high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life, and rivers stocked with salmon."

God continued, "I shall make the land rich in oil so as to make the inhabitants prosper, I shall call these inhabitants Canadians, and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth."

"But Lord," asked Gabriel, "don't you think you are being too generous to these Canadians?"

"Not really," replied God, "just wait and see the neighbours I am going to give them."


So be warned and be nice, or we'll get rough!!! :shrug:

It's a bit of an inside joke--surely Bryson and Roland will recall our ride to Applebees at the WMAA camp. It's remotely possible that I was slamming our neighbors to the North non-stop.

Then again she coulod have been talking about the Siberians, just over the other side of the north pole.

Just finish class number 8, Bryson says I am much improved.
Of course when you were as rusty as I was, anything is a big improvement. ;)

No longer coughing up a lung, merely some serious huffing and puffing. :D A fellow student "Craig" joined us today. It was kewl to be able to work on someone else. LOL Craig is as tall as Bryson but broader, I felt like a munchkin around them. LOL but as I've trained with both of them many times before, so I was use to it.

Craig has terminal "Nice Guy" Syndrome. It's improssible for him to put anything behind his strikes and techniques because He doesn't want to "hurt you". He's a great guy but it makes things a little hard when your are trying to "feel" what the technique is like.

Anywise, Tuesday, September 3rd, is the "Official Opening", and by the number of people that have dropped by and "said" they were joining it should be an interesting day/week. I'll keep you posted.

Wowzers... just got finished reading all the posts in this thread.. hehehe you london people are Crazy.. and in a good way too...

I really can't wait to come up and meet all of you hilarious people.. its looking more like Oct. now that i'll be up there.. cuz we have a new branch opening up here too.. also the head instructor is out of commision for a bit.. he was run over by a lifttruck at his work.. tore his acheiles heel tendon.. he'll be ok.. but no jumping front snap kicks for him.. for awhile...

P.s.. i have 6 bucks US here.. so that like 30 bucks canadian I can add to the Kenpogirl\Lifewise match... hehehehehehe

I don't like to wear a gi. I have some. Just don't like to wear them. I suppose I might break one or two of them out if there is a Kenpo function or something. This was an informal class where we focused on material not what we were wearing.

Hey there Eraser, we'll be glad to have you when you can get the chance to visit.

As Gou said, that class was a informal class, held after usual class time. But for regular classes we wear our Gi's. New students will start off in street cloths but then they will be given a Gi when they sign up for full membership.

Be careful what you wish for.

First,,,, I always complain that you don't hit hard enough when you do your techniques, well I'm icing my elbow right now because you went to hard yesterday.

Second,,,, Just in case you haven't seen him do so, Craig can knock a wave master over with a hook punch. He is a really nice guy, but I wouldn't badger him about hitting to light.

Yesterday afternoon I video taped some techniques and sparring with Bryson (which has this little episode on it) but I have not had time to condense and transfer the video and pics yet.

Oops Sorry didn't mean to give a bad impression. He and Bryson really do "mix it up" with each other. I know he's very capable, just wish he'd be a little more realistic when he and I pair up.

WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING???????

Craig has incredible control - don't mess with that. The man is much larger than I and I have never been hesitant to spar with him even though I remember a bob and weave that went terrible wrong (the wrong way) once while sparring with Craig.... then the time he forgot I was only 5 feet tall and roundhouse kicked me....

Hope he can tell the difference between you and me Kenpo Girl!!!!

That cunning little,,, (short person). (Joke!)
:soapbox:

Yes I am short - there I said it. (Apparently even Gou noticed that on Saturday) So is admitting it half the problem ... will I grow now? Highly unlikely since I have been this tall since I was 12!!!!!

As for "cunning" ... hmmm, have you tried that can of coffee I brought you the other day? :EG:

[Bob Hubbard]

ok...ok..ok... we all admit it...we wanna see the girls. :)

Just make sure they are well labeled. :)

Okay Okay, I apologize I was complaining for the sake of complaining.

Put it to exhaustion after a hard training session. I humblely beg forgiveness. :confused:

All valid points, and I in the future I will ponder the future ramifications of my sometimes bizzar ramblings. :p

Example: Kenpo Girl, employed, has vehicle, available.

I'll take em all. ;)

Seems that way. :)

[KenpoGirl]

Well I just checked in the last 3 days approx 155 people have viewed the London Martial Arts (http://kenpogirl0.tripod.com/lma/lma.htm) page. Very kewl.

I checked the stats on who was linking from where, to find to my surprise that the majority of the "hits" came from a Russian MA site, curtousy of a link by Gou Ronin. Very Interesting. :shrug:

[Bob Hubbard]

Kool. :)

So, how are things progressing for the school? I took a look at the pics and it looks good.

:asian:

[KenpoGirl]

had four more people drop in during my class to inquire about lessons. Official opening for new students is Tuesday September 3rd, after the long weekend.

We are expecting quite a few people if all the interest means anything. Keep your fingers crossed.

I am sorry Kenpo Girl I wasn't thinking... of course, you will be as good as married come Tuesday. With your ritual like attendance (jealous of your ability to attend class every evening) newcomers will think you are Bryson's wife. With the official opening of the school and all the children .... just like being married with children!!!!

As for the death wish, :D what can I say 'cept gotta catch me first!

Please tell me you joking?

I invited a few friends to go take a look.

[lifewise]

I have discussed this with Bryson already but I would like to know if anyone would be interested in participating in a sparring event at London Martial Arts?

The idea was to video tape the matches for both the participants use, and the school. The school would run an edited version on the waiting area TV and possibly some clips on the school website.

[KenpoGirl]

LOL I don't know how much of a attraction that would be.

We don't exactly do "Touch" sparring, might scare the new students ways. :eek:

;)

[Bob Hubbard]

If I could get out there, I'd have no problem sparing. Just make sure the floors nice n clean cuz I end up there alot. :D

By choice or by gravity? :eek:

[Bob Hubbard]

heh...sometimes both. :)

[KenpoGirl]

Bryson invested in some Brand spankin' new puzzle mats, so whether you hit the ground on purpose or not, it will not be such a hard fall. ;)

[Bob Hubbard]

Cool. I bounce anyways so... :D

It was nice to see you out tonight. I hope you can make it out more often. And thankyou for all the cool drills and games you mentioned tonight. It's going to be a lot of fun trying those games out with my Tot's class.

Got the message, hope my reply isn't too confusing. The short and tall of it is. The 20th is okay with me, I'll confirm with LW make sure she can make it and I will send a map via email to the school.

As I said in my message, Huk Planas is in town the next day so if you want to attend that can be arranged. Just let me know.

Unfortunately if you are going to be sparring before the seminar on the 19th I will not be able to get there. Some of us work for a living and it will be a challenged to get there at the secheduled 5pm seminar. So earlier is out of the question.

I think originally LW meant have a sparring match on a completely different day, not the day of the Zach W. seminar, but if you guys wanna spar before hand more power too you.

I'll be fresh as a daizy for the seminar and you all will be hot and sweaty. :eek: hmmmm, that could be interesting, me in a room full of sweaty men. ;) heh heh heh This is getting better and better all the time. :rofl:

Well they are solid black. See Pictures of School (http://kenpogirl0.tripod.com/lma/lma.htm)

But they do this kewl trick that when you lay on the floor then get up a outline of your sweaty body stays behind for a few moments. Looks a little gastly like a chaulk outline of a dead body. :eek:

[tunetigress]

For some reason I had this horrid flash of this outline of a Dot on that floor! Oh my, I hope LW hasn't put out a contract on you with some crazy Russians or something! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Not so far, I only leave an outline when I've collapsed from doing push-ups or crunchers. ;) and the only crazy Russian I know is Gou, and he didn't take me out when he had the chance tonight when he participated in some of the class. Wouldn't do the whole class, whined about a sore jaw, the whimp. :rolf:

:shrug: Little bugger kept punching me in the same spot just under my armpit for "Attacking Mace" (that's the name isn't it?? D'oh) Friggin' bony little hands. Next time I wont take it so easy on him. ;)

[Bob Hubbard]

I missed something somewhere...someone was flashing? Oh, I wish I was closer to London! :D

No problem. I told Dot I was going to come out because she was going to show me how to do a spinning, tornado, reverse torquing, roundhouse, jumping, kick.

The funny thing is that a lot of the excercises I was showing are stuff we do at Vlad's. The kewl thing is that they all have use and they are all fun.

That's because you need to relax and breath. It should be fun, not work.

Uh...ok. I just came down to see what was up. I was only there just being another body for Bryson to make his class work. I was having fun with the kids doing internal organ transplants on Scooby Doo and Clifford The Big Red Dog until you dragged me on the floor.

What in the name of Ghandi are you going on about? I was so relaxed and going so light that if I went any lighter you might as well have been doing that olympic event where they dance around with a string on a stick. I don't even do Kenpo! Now who's the whiner?
:rolleyes:

[lifewise]

Yes Gou, you made quite the impression on the kids last night. Must of had something to do with your willingness to wear the 3D glasses in public!

Thanks for keeping them busy for me. :) Both of them thought you were pretty cool - but my son wasn't impressed when you hit his mom! Guess that is a good thing ...

Hey now. I looked kewl in those things! Also they are not 3D glasses. They are glasses that allow you to see the 7 distinct colours of the light spectrum through a prism. We were able to count and name all 7 of them too. So Nyah!

That's 'cause I am! Ha! They're very well behaved and nice kids. I had a lot of fun talking with them.

He was probably afraid if I hit you too hard that he might not be allowed to stay up that whole extra hour! He was really excited about that. He was resting himself he said to make sure he could stay awake that long.

No worries I am proud of the way I lost my hair. And as for being attacked by someone barely taller than LW's 4 yr old son, that is fine too.

After the Huk seminar on the 21st will the group be going to the ballet?

Hard to say. We have not gone in a long time. Mostly because we're all so busy. It's never a planned thing. if you try and plan it then it loses it's appeal. We'll all more than likely head out after the seminar for somewhere. Just that no one knows where. It's always a last minute thing.

[lifewise]

So Rob, when are you available to come to LMA for a sparring event? I know you won't want to miss it - :D

With God as my witness I just want to be there when lifewise hauls off and punches Rob straight in the balls.
