Hi Shane, glad to hear you're interested! Our normal, full study group will next
meet on Friday the 17th at 7 and we are also trying to get some time on Saturday
mornings as well.

I talked to Adam last night about gaining access to the Academie on Saturdays
and he said that he will be able to open up for us at 10:30, one hour before
regular class starts. The next section of the exam book is a shorter one — the 5
strikes, places of pain and defenses — so we should be able to get through it
rather quickly and on to the 40 min of fighting before class begins. How does
that sound Mike? If we had a longer section to do, 10 would be better, but I
don't want to inconvenience Adam since he has some distance to travel to come
in.

there are a number of us intending to go for red cord in the coming examinations
(specifically Aug, Oct & Dec). It also appears that a lot of us need to get
things marked off but need more review on certain parts of the rank book.

group that will run once a week. We've gotten the ok from Devon to run from 7pm
on alternating Fridays (due to instructor training) and may also look at a
session following class on Saturdays, depending on people's schedules.

and go through it for about an hour to make sure everyone has it down, followed
by 40 min of fighting one another to help build endurance for the long fight
section. I'd also like to do a short review of the previous week's subject since
a number of items must be demonstrated on exam day, so remembering them is
important! All in all, each session would probably run about 2 hours I think.

once.

if the times work for you. We're going to have the first session this Friday,
July 3rd, and start moving through the content.
