lol, I remember the first time I came to practice with you guys, you had knives and were like "oh, we're just going to practice stabbing knives into trees". I said something like "as long as your not going to stab me". To which you replied "we're not that crazy... yet". lol.

I'll bet that translates easily into any number of eastern european languanges.

No one said that psychos cannot be enlightened. :) Besides, now that I will have a daughter I will have to scare the living daylights out of her future boyfriends. -hulk- -faint- -twisted-

Today was fun.
I think everyone got kicked in the balls besides Vlad. However I left early, so maybe he got kicked in the sack too. ;D

yes it was good, ... as usual, a little less intense than last time but you always get plenty of things out of this kind of meetings,

somehow an other version of 'Meetings with Remarkable Men',

next meeting within around 3 weeks, B.E. P.R.E.P.A.R.E.D. !

I won't come until the 18th. I have a Jiu-jitsu exam and I want to be in good shape for it. It's an exam that it is made so that you fail it. Passing is simply a matter of how you fail it. Since it will be living hell, I don't want to risk injuries (though sparring with you guys helps me to refine my game - Alex could help me with my grappling).

If you guys want to meet, go on without me. Just don't invite Juan yet. I want to be there when he first shows up... ;)

Alex, I talked to Mauricio, and Rory is Iraq right now. He should be back in a year and we want to make him come to Montreal first toe give a seminar. I will see if Kevin is interested in hosting it, I think that it should be interesting for all of them. So, I will let you know. BTW, Rory has published a book with YMAA, I will order a copy from Amazon:
http://www.ymaa.com/articles/meditations-on-violence

Hey Teo,

I received my copy of 'meditations on violence' today, I pre-ordered a copy, I was pretty confident that I would love the book.
I am reading it right now :)
I am more than willing to meet Rory if he comes to mtl, so unless an earthquake prevents me from attending I'll be there!

as for the meetings, my schedule will be somehow perturbed by my gf's parents' visit for a few weeks, 'till the 21rst I guess;
I might be able to 'escape' but I cannot tell when now
