    It makes me mad when people say I turned and ran like a scared rabbit. Maybe it was like an angry rabbit, who was going to fight in another fight, away from the first fight.

    I'm in San Antonio. With enough prior notice I could probably make it.

    My current work schedule is m11:30-8, t.w.th 8-4:30, sat 8-4:30.

    I go to tai chi people 6-8 t.w.th.f

    Therefore, for me, daytime fridays and sundays are most convenient, although saturday early evening would be ok too.

    You think it would be kosher to do this in a public park, as long as it didn't look too much like a real fight? I don't really know of any gym or what have you that would suit our purposes. Also, I don't currently own any pads or gloves, so I might oughta wait for a while to get some before I schedule anything.

    i was thinking a saturday

    well i know of a park that is a cool one to do workouts and spar.
    Walnut Creek park has an open field to do some good sparring and workouts. the later afternoon early evening times might be best as it is summer and the midle of the day would be torturous.

    my schedule at dell is pretty tight but saturdays i have off and sunday after 6 pm.

    Talking OKAY LETS GET THE BALL ROLLING

    How about this saturday around 6:30 at Walnut Creek park.

    Coming from the south: take 1-35 or mopac and go north for I-35 travellers take the Parmer ln exit. turn LEFT ontp parmer lane and you will go past a Very nice looking buddhist temple and just past that is a sign(on the right) for the Walnut creek metropolitan park. its the big open field.

    Mopac travellers: take mopac to Parmer exit. turn right, follow until you reach Nlamar and turn right. (follow above directions thereafter).

    183 travellers. best way from there is 183 to mopac north to parmer and then so on.

    So let me know if any of you in the area can attend and we can train and spar around and just meet. as far as sparring is concerned,,bring your own gear. we gotta wear some type of padding. and i think it would be safe to say that we are responsable for our own actions and we will spar at the level at which we all feel comfortable. as far as what I LOOK LIKE: ill be in the open field wearing a pair of black kung fu pants and a T-shirt, short blond hair and tall. Hope to see some folks there.

    Lets make this a ongoing thing.

    I'll commit right now to Saturday. I've emailed Jason about my circumstances that afternoon, and am eager to meet a few more folks ready to rumble (at levels ranging from gentle to no-broken-bones-or-noses-please)

    Let's get it together, everyone!
