hello everyone from charley of boxer-rebellion bangkok

hello all
my names "charley" and I am a brit who has always lived in asia.
I was first invited to asia in 1981 by the late great Donn F Draeger- a truly great man.
I love real genuine,earnest ,sincere martail artist ladies and gents.
I have trained in and investigated many systems ( mastered none)and am still learning each and every day.
I have lived in many asian citys.
I have travelled all over, tibet, nepal,philipines, looking for the " best" ,.To be honest some style do seem more realistic than others but I do not think anyone has the " best"
I was amused the other day when I reflected that one of the best systems I have chanced upon lately was not in the mystic east but in a place called solihull in birmingham under a real credit to martail arts-Mr Eddie Quinn.
His " Approach" is really great and I look forward to peoples veiwson this.
I have a full time gym in bangkok.It is a reality based gym and is free for all allied police/military, and all the real gents out there in UK who have contributed so much to everones benifit
best wishes, hope to see some of you in bangkok

Hi Charley

Sorry I didn't get to meet you at Eddie's seminar. Seems like I missed something special.

Good luck with everything and look forward to your posts.

Hi charley

welcome to the forum.

I am planning on spending a month in Phuket at the end of the UK summer. If my plans work out then I will join you at your gym.

I will be out there to train and don't want to be led astray

hi
thanks , there are some very good places to train on phucket as I am sure you will know.Have you found some?
They have great deals on everything now( check out asiaroom- and other websites for budget travels)
I think I know what you mean about being led the astay!
I think everywhere there is a time for the training and a time for the slap and tickles.
Better not combine the two( I have tried and my training suffered !) therefore no point in me pointing out that my gym is a stones throw from the best slap/tickles establishments.
Errrr... so I heard from somebody
look forward to seeing you
send emails to me please when you coming, my manager is

bye
