Welcome Stuart,

I worked with a couple of bouncers at Polly Esthers in DC that were
running a group in Springfield. I'm not sure if it was the same
group. If anyone in the Springfield group is interested in coming
out the more the merrier.

There are also a couple guys in the group that have a Doce Pares
background. Everyone in the group ranges from very little
Arnis/Escrima/Kali backgrounds to years of experience.

Brian
