I was just advised that there are still a few spaces available for this seminar. Please contact George Askounis (Iason on this forum) if you are interested.

I hope the seminar goes well for everyone.

Same here. Not to mention trotting off to London the day after I return from Dan's seminar in the arse end of the Netherlands is a bit much :-)
But I am looking forward to the reviews!

Hi Everybody!
Master Li is going a give a talk-demonstration on Tuesday the 24th of April!

Venue
Cypriot Community Centre
Earlham Grove
Wood Green
London N22

Time
7.00-8.00 pm

Cost
£5.00

Topic to be announced!

The seminar still takes place, there are still a few places left.
Please do not forget that this is a unique opportunity to study with someone who has completely devoted himself to the study of the art, and has a deep understanding of its martial aspect!
This is the first time, as far as I know, that a seminar like this takes place outside China!
His teaching is logical, he is happy to answer questions, and he appreciates people who have desire to learn!
Tadzio's presence is an extra advandage not only for the translation but mainly because he studies with master Li for several years and has immersed him self deeply in to the art!
I hope to see many of you there!
George

It's a long story. In short, Master Li's visa application was refused. Tadzio, being a Brazilian citizen, could also very well have been refused entry upon arrival in the UK. Therefore, Tadzio decided to cancel the seminar.

I write this last post beacause I want to make clear to the martial art community what has happend.
After a long wait last Tuesday night Tadzio told me that Li Jinsheng's visa was granted. He asked me to buy tickets for both of them, They did not want cheap flights. They wanted flights from Air China or British Airways and direct. I found 2 tickets with Air China, direct from Beijing to London costing 1500 each and I bought them. Early on Wednesday morning (3am), I received an email from Tadzio that Li JInsheng's visa was not granted. He also told me that he decided not to come because although ge does not need a visa he might be refused entry to the country because my invitation letter may not look convincing enough! In that email there was not a single reference to the previous false information, not a single apology, and of course not a single offer to pay me back the money that I spend in (stupidly) good faith! If this had happened with people living in UK or even in Europe I would have taken them to court! But now all I can do is to try and recover (in many levels) from this horrible inury!
I won't write anything else! I want to thank everybody for their support and understanding and ofcourse to apologise for the suffering that this situation has caused. Hopefully people can learn something from my experience!
Be well!
Iason

Seems that 'master' status doesn't stop people being assholes.

So sorry for you mate. Hope there is some way to recover the loss.

Cheers
