Shameless advertising, good work son

Nice. Looks like Seoul jumped up higher on the list to teach in. <Drat>

Are there tournies in the RoK?

[blanko]

yes there are both gi and no gi tourneys in seoul.

[cangel]

That gi top is about useless in its current form. Seems to me, someone could come up with a better design.

Sweet new pad! I'm looking forward to training there...

To anyone thinking of joining come along to Yonsei University, Saturdays at 2:00pm in the uni gymnasium. Newbies, seasoned veterans, guys and girls of all ability levels get together from all over Korea on Saturdays at this location. There are plenty of friendly foreigners, Koreans and our coaches (who coach at the Apgujeong club aswell) are great.

If anyone wants any information about how to get there on Saturday's then PM me.

Chur!!!
