YODA Posted April 19, 2002 Posted April 19, 2002 Hi all Last year a group of guys & gals in the UK who frequent a MMA forum caled "SFUK" decided to try something. The idea was simple - hire a big room full of mats, invite the world & his dog, spend the whole day rolling. No egos - just the free echange of knowledge through sparring. The entry fee would be nominal - just enough to cover the hire of the hall & mats. Sounded very idealistic but guess what - it worked! These are great - everyone just gets stuck in and helps each other out. If you get with someone of a similar level - you battle it out! In a friendly way of course. If you get a partner who you are significantly better than - you coach them - sometimes mini-clinics pop up for a while through this - then it's off to work again. You come & go on & off the mat as you like - no pressure, no egos. SFUK Open Mat 4 is this Sunday (21st) in Manchester, England - All of you UK based people are hereby invited Level of experience doesn't matter - everyone will learn.

Bon Posted April 20, 2002 Posted April 20, 2002 One of the guys at my club was talking about this today, not your one, but one for publicity here.. It takes sacrifice to be the best.There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.
