Hiya'll.

My name's Jude, I'm from the West Midlands in the UK, otherwise known as the armpit of the universe. I've trained on and off for several years in ju-jitsu, although never seem to be able to get anywhere as I get frustrated by the almost kata like approach to everything, only recently found a decent sensai. I'm ex Royal Navy, and have a liking for things oriental/far eastern...

I've recently become interested in the idea of studying Wing Chun, as the sticking hands, responsiveness side of things appeals greatly. Just found a sifu near where i live, sweet. Look forward to chatting to everyone.

jude.

Nice to meet you Angel. :D umm... err.. Why is West Midlands the "armpit" of the universe? Is it the smell? or is everyone just really sweaty :D

Hey guys,

take it no one here's from the UK? If you were, you'd know the West Midlands is the armpit of the universe due to the concrete jungle, over crowdedness, utter lack of culture, and about as much use as a one legged man....in a bottom kicking competition.

Welcome to MT, and it is addicting particularly if you get "lost" in the arcade. But it is okay in between waiting for postings... does your name mean "angel of death" or dead angel? TW

On behalf of the Admin/Mod team WELCOME to MartialTalk!!! Most of us share an affinity for things eastern ... well, except for the Systema guys, and maybe they like it also, we just don't know.

Looking forward to your posts, in any of the forums.

Oh, we've got a few brits running around in here, you just need to catch them when they're not off having tea and scones. Or kidney pie!

Angelus...

I am in ohio on vacation and doing some kali/silat training while I'm here.
I spent the last 4 years in the UK teaching in High Wycombe and I had a club for a bit in High Bentham in Yorkshire.
I am actually looking forward to getting back over there!
Qestion.....
"NA" site? was there supposed to be an "R" in there?!

Better yet, I am in Stafford, so I know ALL about the WM... it's not as bad as he makes out.. but I still prefer home (Scotland).
