I have heard from a few of you, anyone else making the trip. Let me know early as I plan on acutally making reservations for dinner ... instead of 30 of us standing around a restraunt for a couple of hours waiting to be seated.

Everyone is looking forward to meeting and greeting the Golden Dragon.

Give me a call if you want the pre-registration price. I forgot we would be missing a mailing day due to the Memorial Day holiday. I am extending the pre-reg discount another 24 hours to compensate for any delayed payments.

Hope to see everyone there.

Cool seminar! Totally enjoyed it! Mr Billings has a great place.
He'd been talking so negatively about it I thought I'd have to
disinfect myself as I left ;)

Took this while waiting for the next class to start.

This was the "beginner's class" .. I found out later that I could've
participated in the class, but oh well .. I enjoyed mine. The 2 in
the front are martial talk's own Quinn-Child and Pakhet. Up in
the back row on the right end is Mr Billings.

And here's the intermediate class ... which Mr C allowed anyone
of any rank to attend.

and so did Erin. Total information overload...I think bits and pieces were dripping out my ears by the end of the second session :p . Dinner afterward was a lot of fun too. A great big Thank You to Mr. Conatser for coming out and to Mr. Billings for setting it up :)

Under the carpet are 2" gymnastics mats, the roll out, cover the entire floor kind. Of course it is old and cut up now. Tape them together so they won't slide, add a carpet pad, which actually firms up the surface and lets weight distribute more evenly instead of "sinking" in, then add carpet and sweat and you have it.

Sure is easy on the feet, my aching arches, and every technique can go to the ground, self-defense or sparring.

No doubt! It was a different experience, and I liked it!
