Anyone in London up for some full contact?

[Iga Ninjer]

Hi guys,

I was just wondering if anyone was interested to participate to our sparring sessions held normally on friday afternoons/evenings in the Canning Town/East Ham areas of London?

Let me explain: I'm a student of Sifu Hin-Chong Nong, and I'm currently looking for people to train in Sanshou/Sanda in preparation for a tournament next month. I'm not the one participating in the Sanda tournament as I'll be doing traditional Choy Lee Fut forms (yes, like a pretty ballerina), but I also happen to be one of the only students competent enough to put up a fight against my friend, who is the one who will be competing in Sanda. I do believe we've trained long enough with each other, and there's now little or no benefit from doing that anymore. We need some fresh new fighters to be put up against, so we can be more all rounded and prepared.
Plus, I don't wanna be doing all the work here, I need to train in my forms myself! :eatbaby:

This is where you guys come in. I want anyone, not necessarily a Sanda/Sanshou fighter, to come down to our classes for free and fight against my friend. We'll provide the padding equipment, but you'll have to bring your own mouth guard/gumshield.
It would help if the fighter's more experienced than my friend so that he can teach him a lesson or two (without hurting him too much, please! :p), but less experienced fighters are welcome too as long as they can pack a punch or two, hopefully.

The deadline's the middle of June! So don't be shy, post your details here and I'll get back to you asap so we can organize a day!

Thanks in advance!

Gonna ask someone to take a video this Friday if we can... I'll keep you posted.
We aren't professionals, that's for sure, so it'll probably look amateurish as hell. That's one of the reason why we want to test ourselves against others, I guess.

Blabla Hampton doesn't exist you crazy dutch so and so....but I will be happy to hook up with you for a beer or some sparring in London, maybe you can teach me your legendary lanky fighting technique.

Iga Ninja, I have a small amount of boxing experience and am in your area, not sure if I can be of use would like to see a vid of your guy in action first.

I think it's the Hampton near Heathrow, south western London.
If i go i'd love to meet up, also with Asriel.

lanky fighting technique:' yeah you got a big mouth now cos the police is 10 feet behind you..'

' huh what? where?'

*clunk!*

I'd be up for a few drinks(and maybe some sparring) with some fellow bullshidokas.


You mean Hampton Court (in Surrey just west of London on the Thames).

Its near me and famous for..



I live in the third room from the left. Used to belong to Henry VIII.


I know, i know if its not a windmill its confusing....

[Lebell]

you really living in the room third from left?
english mental hospitals rock!!!

[Iga Ninjer]

Lol I had actually forgotten about this thread... D:

Sorry I didn't post vids, we took one but the room where we spar is so freaking tiny that you can't really see shit on the vid (the person taking it had to guard dangerous corners as well as avoid getting mixed up into the fight, lol), that's why I didn't even bother posting it.

Atm I'm in China (having the time of my life!), I'll be back on the 29th of August and then I'll definitely meet up with you guys, would be awesome to kick each other around a bit and have a beer or two afterwards. :p

Oh, and by the way, my friend got KTFO'd by a Polish dude on the finals! LOL. The KO was quite funny, I'd gladly post a vid but I don't think he'd be very happy to see it floating around... I'll ask him. And yes, he does check bullshido from time to time. :p

Oh, and Lebell, when is it that you'll be around? I'm not entirely sure where Blabla Hampton is, but we're in Canning Town in London... Hermit road, to be precise, very close to the McDonald's.

I'll be checking bullshido from time to time even from here, but it's kinda hard to get time to cruise on the Internet. Got loads of stuff to do and I wouldn't miss it out by sitting in front of a screen.

Anyways, gotta go! <3

i checked with my friend and she'll be at hemel-hempstead (spelling?) which is 20 to 25 mins from downtown london by train.

When will you be in town?

[Lebell]

no idea yet.
my first priority is the belgian TD which is oct 3rd.
my friend starts living in the uk end of oct/early november.
i really cant pick a date yet.

the funny thing is, going to london would be cheaper then belgium or any other place thanks to a free place to crash and easy jet.
for example: going to Groningen takes me almost 2 times longer then london.

as from 2010 its way more realistic for me to start attending London TD's.

If I happen to be around London at the relevant time, then I'm always up for some grappling. So, I'll keep an eye on this thread (though looks like mostly strikers at the moment, unusually for UK throwdowns).
