But you tried, didn't you? If I wasn't a master swordsman, I'd
have a couple of busted collar bones.
The weapons class is nifty because I pick up some new subtlety
every time. Yesterday, it was the technique of parrying a jo
thrust, by keeping the tip still, and turning the handle with a
slight hand and hip movement; the tip remaains fixed in space,
and the hilt traces out a circle around it. It's the only way
to make the move work - if you swing the whole blade, you get reamed.
Artistic, challenging, and functional.
But anyway, these are all hallucinations. In reality, we are both
figments of Gichoke's imagination, but one of us is in denial -

There have been a number of meetings between the RMAM moderators. Not
everybody has met everybody, but everyone has met somebody. I've met
Don, Joao, Erica and Jennifer. Not exactly local for me, but it was for
them.

The East Coast group starting getting together over dinners and then
that led to some cross training. Lots of good stuff shared by
everyone.
I don't get to see anyone too often anymore, but Erica, Joao and Pai
are pretty close. Jen is in DC. Anyone coming to or through NYC is
welcome to stop by or at least have a drink we me.
I've been to Ottawa to see Badger North and Kevin Hill for a Pete
Krauss seminar. They're my MA brothers. Russ Rader was there too.
Matthew and Richard Kim stayed at my place after some travel
screwups. ;-)
I usually have lunch or dinner with Andy Vida when he is in NJ. I
missed Steve Gombosi when he passed through.
Richard L. and his now bride came through NYC and we grabbed a quick
meal and drinks. Neil G. was here on business and we got to bop
around Chinatown. Angie G was at Jens testing too.
Mike Krantz was at Pai's place once.
I must be missing some one....
--Don--
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
I've met Peter and Fraser. Went and rolled at Peter's club...what...2
or 3 years ago now? Run into them both now and again, as our
collective schedules permit us.
Went on holidays and spent a week at the home of KingAbu's(Charlie) a
month or so ago.
Thus irrevocably proving that we are not Sock puppets in Libby's army.

I met Mike Sigman out in Santa Cruz about 10 years ago. Met Perk here
in central Arkansas about 5 years ago. mikel is my brother, so I met
him 40 some years ago....
Peter Boucher posted here from time to time, and he was a fellow
student for awhile in the bay area.
Andrew Van Arum posted here some years back, and I've met him I think,
down in Austin.
I keep trying to find a way to get up to the Denver area to meet Chas
and Steve, and whoever else is up that way, and Matthew W. and I have a
tentative lunch scheduled for early March down in Austin.
I'd like to get mikel and Mike Sigman here for seminars, but that's
not likely; Steve would be fun to have down, as would Chas.
I don't have reason to travel to the District anymore, but it would
be nice to visit Trav and whoever else is up that way.
And since Kirk has people in Jonesboro, maybe he could take the extra
time to slip down Little Rock way and visit some time....

I am in Conway, about 25 minutes away tops.
I am about 25 minutes from Perk too.
But I haven't met anyone from here yet face to face.
Chatted lots with Bill and Fraser. EMailed a lot with several
people...all of whom I consider friends.

I meet Peter and ended up training at the same club. I met Bob and we used
to train at the same place. I met Yellow Bamboo and laughed my ass off. It
turned out badly, for them. If I ever win lotto I am doing my RMA tour of
the world.

Compiling a history would be quite tricky. Way too many meetings, and
lots of little stories.
In my case, I've met Don W, Erica, and Jennifer numerous times. Met
Pai, Richard K, and Matthew W a few times. Angie, Mike Kratz, and
Vandit about twice each. And Neil, Steve G, Kevin H, Richard L, and
Otter once each. That just about covers it, I think.
Some memorable moments:
- Watching Don and Erica playing with swords in Erica's small kitchen
- Erica braking my fingers
- Watching everybody cringe as Pai tells us how he lost a finger
- Watching Richard Kim's highly disturbing anime collection
- Watching Jennifer cry while watching Richard Kim's highly disturbing
anime collection
- Being first-hand witness to Matthew's legendary adventures in public
transportation.
- Seeing the security guy's face when Matthew pulled a folding knife out
of his pocket inside the U.N. General Assembly building.
- Being stuck in a car for several hours with Erica singing along to
really loud Japanese teeenage J-pop crap, in Japanese with a North
Jersey accent.
- Mike Krantz, when seeing my 6'4", very muscular, top heavyweight rower
for the German Olympic rowing team, long-haired *male* house guest
sleeping in my living room: "Oh, I'm sorry. You didn't tell me your
girlfriend was sleeping", and then watching the other guys reaction
- The waitress taking Richard L's order: "And what the hell do *you*
want, you limey bastard?"
- Being accosted by a pipe-wielding lunatic while walking around with
Don, right after meeting Otter.
Plus quite a few more, some of which do not belong in a public forum. ;)

I totally forgot about Otter probably due to the fact that Penang sat
us in a traffic zone and we had to yell at each other to be heard.
Vandit completely slipped my mind and he is one of my oldest RMA pals.

It was a pretty cool place, although a bit lacking in the luxury 
department. OK, totally lacking. Being about as white and unhip as it
is possible to be in that hotel without exploding was somewhat of an
experience. Also there was so much street noise that I eventually just
gave up on sleep and left the dive around 6 am.
Meeting you, Don, Erica was cool though. Your spoken English has
somewhat more of an accent than I had expected as your written English
is idiomatic. Beer is unsurprisingly not too helpful in that regard.
Not that I should complain - I am pretty much unilingual except for a
few words of Japanese and whatever little French they pounded into me in
school.

Its not a competition. ;)
Besides, I think Don has probably met more RMA'ers than me. The only
one I met that he didn't get to meet is Steve Gombosi, but he has met a
few others up in Canada at Badger's place.
So, Don wins... err... would have won had this been a competition....

Raaaag! Don, Richard and Rach, Otter and Joao are about the nicest
people I've ever met; anyone who passes up a chance to hang out with
them are idiots.
As I recall we had pretty much everyone in the pub call Richard a
limey bastard, including the chef who was on his way out and made a
special trip to our table just to do it. :o)
And Richard's order was, as I recall, a hamburger:
"...and how do you want it?"

I've met Bill 'Gichoke' Mahoney and Scott Lockhart from SSSF several
times. Nicest bunch of bastiches you'll ever meet. It usually ends up
though, that I go to a MMA event, look for them the whole time in vain,
and then end up seeing them in the parking lot after the show as I'm
about to leave. Very strange. And that pattern seems to have spread,
because I even stopped by the SSSF gym one summer day, and no one was
there! (To be fair, it was the day of a fight, so they were probably
already on the road.) But the few times I've gotten to chat with them,
they've been gents.
I *think* I've met BJ and several others, but it was kinda hard to
tell, as that it was dark, we were all dressed in black, and were

Let's see... I studied under Phil Davies back in the late '80's. I
rolled with Carlo at Rebellion BJJ once in 2003.
Neither post anymore. Maybe I need new deodorant.

That's OK. I've got a good Repression Mechanism. And failing that,
there's always the Brain Erasser.

Kirk Lawson and Paul Tanenbaum met in California. Paul took Kirk to his Mauy Thai class. Kirk was dissapointed because neither of them got to hit the other. The next evening Paul took Kirk to his Aikido Weapons class. Kirk was again dissapointed because, again, niether got to hit the other. ;-)
Peace favor your sword
