Official MAP Meet 2012

MAP Meet 2012

Been a few years since a MAP Meet happened.

Any more Meets in the works? Anyone interested?

I'd be up for one in summer. Well, any time really - but as usual, my issue is time constraints.

But in general - yes oh yes. I haven't been beaten up by enough MAPers. Mitch tried once, but he started crying due to what I can only think of as some kind of compassion.

 

I'm from Nottingham. Where was you looking to use?

Have you thought about using the ICC?

 

I think most of the mod team wants this to happen in 2012 and I've offered as much support as I can to Mitch. Once a venue is organised I suspect we'll be starting an official thread and looking for willing victi.... volunteers to run a session on the day.

 

iv often wondered what a map meet actually consists off, dont you end up with a lot of people used to training in very different ways, is it just a sparring session ? people from different arts would I imagine be used to varying degrees of contact, even above contact levels being an issue the term might mean something very different from one martial art to another. Same applies if some of the more experienced members instruct technique dont you end up with allot of people who are doing very different things week to week they just happen to all fall under the term martial arts. Id be interested to know how a way is found to do stuff that is relevant too and can include everyone who attends.

 

It's not that far from the station, 15 min walk max, plus it's pretty much a straight walk too through Broadmarsh, through the square then up Mansfield Road.

Wouldn't be hard for one of us to meet everyone else and show them the way either.

ICC have a really large room upstairs that we used to use for Ninjutsu. Not sure if they still have mats etc on site though back then they were owned by the ICC so they should do as they have other classes that also use them.

The smaller rooms are ok for small groups though if you have a load of people swinging bokkens about then space can be a little tight.

You could also ask some of the other clubs if you could use their premises for a few hours, like Kickfit (right next to the train station) or Bushido MMA Academy (Ashley Street, near Sneinton Market).

I could probably get use of our gym but it's pretty far out in Hucknall though.

 

Depending on location, I'd be interested in coming along

 

It's basically a big bunch of taster sessions for different martial arts. It's not competitive at all. Just a chance to try out the training styles of lots of different arts.

At the last one I had a go at boxing drills, BJJ, RBSD and (I think) arnis. The one before that I tried sambo, kali, JWT's karate flow drills and krav maga. It's generally just lots of sampling new stuff.

 

I could probably get there easy enough

As soon as a date is set, I'll book the time off work.
