Damn, you get to visit some great places.

[Joe L.]

Ultra Beatdown... good lord Bruce, you work with Dragonforce, don't you?!?

Why do they never come near anywhere I can drive to?

And why are you so intense that you get to travel with them?


J- A bitter man.

P.S. If you are ever near northeast Pennsylvania drop me a line man, I'd be happy to train/hang out. Just as long as you enjoy very rusty push hand skills.

[Joe L.]

Bruce does sound engineering for them (if I remember correctly).

Bruce, there is a very small possibility of either Beijing or Singapore in April. Will you check your e-mails once on tour? I probably won't know until after you take off for Europe.

Thanks for the info, Tom. Sounds like a very rewarding job with all the traveling (though I'd imagine limited sight seeing time).

[Interloper]

Good gawd. That kind of travel and work schedule would kill me long before bruce's headlock could do the job!

[bruce]

yep i am a sound engineer for a living ... i tour with mostly metal bands for about 20 years now 6-8 months per year traveling ... oh the glamor lol ...

regarding sight seeing it can be tough but i make time to go and see the cities etc ... i have practice spots all over the world different parks and alleys and favorite places to hang and eat/drink in cities around the world.

tom i check my email so if paths cross let me know.

philly and allen town are pretty much the places in pa where i visit ...

[bruce]

also if anyone can lead me to any open mat sparring/rolling sessions at a mma/bjj school i and a few others on the tour would love to get some practice.

Bruce, if you spend whatever tiny free time in China that you might have on visiting a BJJ school, I will shoot you myself. That is just too wrong.

Go see some no-touch masters!

Ask Laixing for his teacher's address and an intro note for you to hand to him when you meet (asking politely for a demo.)

[GrahamB]

No UK? Boooo........

the bjj/mma request was mainly for europe as almost no ima people want to spar so i use the mma/bjj crowd for that outlet as they will almost always welcome a stranger in to practice.

lol i plan on going to a park in hong kong and in bejing. i will only have the early morning free in those 2 places ... so i think the parks are my best bet.
any advice on what parks to go to? how about any no touch masters that can do their thing to me?

do you know where laixing's teacher is? is it bejing? i send him a email asking ...

[bruce]

No UK? Boooo........

i will be in london this sat sunday and monday near tower bridge ...

[bruce]

His main constraint would appear to be time available in any one place.

yep, that is one of the few things that sucks about my job!!!!

so the stars must align, it must be my destiny i think that is the right smiley lol

[shawnsegler]

We need a "stars align" smiley.
