Hi guys,

I so much wanted to join you on Saturdays, but due to family obligations I unfortunately can't make it. It really sucks. Truly it does...

However in the very near future I will move to Kwai Hing (the APEX, new building), I assume they have an indoor training facility over there, perhaps I can arrange this space on weekdays evenings. In case some of you might live not to far from there... if so I seriously would like to ask if some of you would be interested adding an additional training besides the regular Saturdays? Is so... that would be great! I don't know what the rental fee is, if its not too much I will pay for it myself as long as I have some training buddies who know some SYSTEMA. (Chiu or any other "senior" practitioners at least, because I don't know anything yet, but am very interested, of course all of you is welcome!) Perhaps from 20:00 - 21:30 or 22:00 on a particular given weekday/weekend evening?

Kindly reply here if you have interest. Of course I still have to figure out what the possibilities are regarding rental. But before I go to enquire I want to know if there will be someone interested of course :) I am easy going and good fun and willing to learn/share. I look forward for your replies. Thanks!

Welcome, Arjan.

That's too bad about your schedule. I was looking forward to seeing some Bak Mei this weekend :)

I'm always up for training, and during the week is fine.

However, Kwai Hing might be a bit far for some. I don't know.

Perhaps Tsim Sha Tsui would be better for most people. Do you work near home or can you make it out here?

Hi Ian,

Thanks for your kind reply. Actually TST is fine too! :) (Mon. - Thur.) I work in Wan Chai, I'm off work around 18:30 so that wouldn't be a problem to be in TST at 19:00. Perhaps training till 21:00 hours, or 20:30 if that's too late? However I don't know if there is any lighting at the TST training spot?

So, if all is fine... then I am available! I sincerely hope that Chui can join as well, or any other guys? I look forward receiving your reply, or replies in case, hopefully... someone else want to join as well! Many thanks!


ps. My Bak Mei is nowadays a bit lousy... hehe didn't practise since I arrived in HK (that was in 2000) So don't expect too much! :)

Arjan,

19:00 to 21:00 anytime Monday to Thursday is fine with me.

Btw, low light training is an invaluable part of self defense.

I'm pretty busy this week, but I'll get in touch with you next week.

See ya.

Oh, that's really great. I look forward meeting you and others! Shall we keep contact here in this message board, to pick an evening later on?

All other guys who are interested, join! :)

PS. Guys don't be afraid of my ugly face on my little pic. I made that one on purpose like that: ugly and mean looking, just for fun! I am a big fan of Predator (the first movie with Schwarzenegger) wanted to make a "cool" looking pic "Predator style" for forums.. haha. Check out my myspace site for a more friendly pic.

For me, 19:00 - 21:00 p.m. Mon & Wed is fine
(I hope that I would be free on Tue & Thurs also
but currently I stick to my investment coursetongue)

This Saturday I need to have a meeting with my UK customer
and would be late for training.

P.S. Anyway, welcome Arjan againsmile

Thanks for your reply Chui, if all is fine with Ian... perhaps we can pick a day now? (doesn't mean it has to be every week exactly the same day, but still between Mon. - Thur.)

For me either Monday or Wednesday is fine.

Please take note that I only can train once a week. (I am married you know... hehe) Let's see which day is most convenient for Ian...

Shall we say coming Monday?
