Thank to bojovaumeni.cz, I´ve read plenty of pages of flame war discussions, but also met few very interesting and nice people and learnt a lot. Thank to thi
s I´ve spent this Saturday in Jihlava. Few discussion members were interested in how to behave before real physical conflict, how when lucky don´t have to fight or how to even avoid to be part of it. We met in Hung Kyun school in Jihlava and Jan Niesyt, person whose his profession led to many conflicts spoke about behaviour before conflict itself (not only, when he start to speak, topics are just flowing out of him :o) ). People from whole country carefully listened to Jan – kungfu practicioners, policeman not only boxer, boxer not only bouncer, karatekas, me…
Whole lecture was deeply interesting, but I won´t share what was spoken, because of my without compare much lower knowledge of topic. My plan is to invite Jan in future (I´ll let it be for few months) to lecture for our higher belt, so if you are from different dojang and are interested, let me know.
Figters with strong heart cannot use the situation of meeting each other to compare skills. So we played together for a while, as you can see on few photos in photogallery. It was interesting as always, I am limping as my both legs aches. Very skilled and relaxed clinch sparring with Standa Vaněk (that not only boxer policeman, called Bison – rightfully) was not only fun, but also eye-opening. I have few notes from discussion with him afterwards and will
use few hints in our training. Just to let you know, he practiced taekwondo many year ago and don´t like people good in kicking :o) Ground fighting with Pavel Macek (sifu of Prague Hung Kyun school) and his student Adam (called Kain :o) ) drained rest of my power, they are of high quality.
When you spent all day listening, thinking, fighting, your body got depleted and you have to discuss it – Jihlava beer Ježek is so bad and Jihlava kungfu mates are fun company for an evening.
Thank you guys (and skilled fighting girl) for great Satuday and place to stay.
