I don't care about the money. We'll make sure the up-front out-of-pocket costs are covered first. I'd also like to see the MartialTalk site get a cut!

Advertising in Black Belt can get expensive but a basic listing might have some value. I don't know what the price is? Flyers would be necessary. I know we can get the word out to Bloomington, Terre Haute, and Indianapolis in Indiana by sending them to the appropriate people. At UIUC there's a group. Where else?

I'd be happy to teach some Modern Arnis or just participate.

If this is a Martial Talk Event, I would have no problem with Martial Talk getting a cut ot piece of hte action. If there is any action. Expenses must be paid first. After, I am open to discussion.

It's easy for me to be cavalier about costs because I can commute to the event.

Kaith, are you going to drive on down for this?

 

[Cthulhu]

I wish I could drive on up.

[Bob Hubbard]

I'm a definate maybe. I need to check the transportation issue. (My having a vehicle at the time is currently in limbo..long story)

Definately interested, and if funds permit, may take a train/bus or rent a car. This sounds like way too much fun!

Yes, if I could break even, this would be a plus to me

Sleeping on someone's Floor, and making enough to cover food and maybe gas, would be nice. Yet Like I said, only after theother expenses have been paid.


BTW: Arnisador, how far are you? Could I crash at your Place? Floor Space would be fine. I know you may not have enough for me , yet I am asking

 

[arnisador]

I already made the offer in the lounge, before seeing this! We have one spare bedroom plus my den, both of which have very comfortable futons (really, these are very good comfortable ones). I'm an hour to an hour and a half away along I-70 and we could commute.

Thank You! :asian:

It would be a pleasure to meet your Wife and Family

Do you guys want me to advertise and where at, ie BB Mag. Also email or PM, how you want me to describe the art/style plan on teaching. Plan on putting some flyers together to send out to local schools also. Last how much do you want to charge $$$. You can email me that info if you want to keep it private.

Well, my specialties are:
locking & disarms (with or without weapons)
trap hands & flexible weapons (the clothes I'm wearing or the other guy's wearing - make sure to tell people to wear shirt/jacket they don't mind getting ripped)

I could focus on one thing or hit a couple of areas, depending on how much time I'd have to teach. Let me know what you'd like me to do and how much time I'll have

I teach Modern Arnis - A Filipino Martial Art. It uses a Single Rattan Cane and has aspects that include the double stick and knife work as well as Empty hand techniques.

If I had a choice, I would work on, or instruct with the single cane. No experience required, yet if you have it, fine tuning and subtitles will be discussed.

My Bio is quite simple:
Guro Rich Parsons
Lakan Tatlo Modern Arnis 1986 to present
Student of Balintawak, 1998 to present.

for those concerned with transportation issues.... think GREYHOUND!! Buy in advance, save a ton! Its not the best way to travel, but its cheaper than paying for gas, and you can sleep while someone else does the driving. Just a suggestion.

 

[Cryozombie]

Im game for anytime as long as I know in adavnce to schedule myself off... Im only a few hours from there, so Im totaly up for learning new stuff.

Sounds pretty good to me. As far as Sunday goes, personally, I'd be open to pretty much anything. But I don't really have to get back to Louisville until Monday evening which gives me plenty of time.

[Kempojujutsu]

Heck maybe I can get monday off and we can workout later? I have been looking into improving my escrima and maybe even getting offically ranked in some kind of style? I know one or two days won't do it, but it is a start.
Bob :asian:

 

[Shuri-te]

I also plan to attend. If you can fit me into a slot to teach that would be great, and if not, I will enjoy the opportunity to learn from you all. I teach a combination of karate and jujutsu (karate blocks, kicks and strikes coupled in combinations that include a variety of locks, chokes and throws.)

I too would like a place to crash. The floor is great, I have some foam mats that work great. After a day's drive/workout, and a good day of working out, the surface I sleep on makes no difference.

Bob :asian:

Absolutely. Sounds good to me I love training.

Also, crash space would be very useful for me. And, like others, I'm not at all opposed to sleeping on a floor somewhere.

I'll share space with anyone -- sleeping with people is an entirely different subject.

Anyone who wants to teach at this first of it's kind Martial Talk Seminar. You need to let me know ASAP. I am trying to get a list put together of who is teaching and what they are planning on showning. If you are not planning on teaching. You do not need to let me know just yet. I am off this week (Vacation at home the best) I am trying to get things shaping up.
