How do you go about getting training parters outside training & what do people want in them?

I have tried everything in terms of trying to get someone to train with outside of my class to train Self Protection/MMA & I have come up with nothing.

I am not asking for much, they don't even need to be of the same system, but just the following:

• Honesty in training
  Sharing
  No ego
  Safety Minded

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts & what you guys out there look for in a training partner.

hi alkenger,

the biggest problem i found is people just don't want to put the time in,and they only train at the lessons once a week,the four points you said go hand in hand

were you based?lets see if there's anyone on here that's near you?

My name is Alkengker, I live just outside Birmingham City Centre & I'm practicing Wing Chun Kuen and I'm really intrested in exploring the reality of how stuff would siuations arise & are sorted out with other like minded inderviduals.

By the way did I meet you at the Utimate Self Protection Seminar a few weeks ago.

I was the 6'4 Wing Chun guy from Brum.

ah the big guy!

I'm not sure who there is in your area,i noticed nobody answered your partner request surly there's somebody in brum that trains regular and needs a partner?

that's the reason most of the time i end up playing with myself(training)

no wonder you`re so good at all the palm stuff, shame they`re so hairy !
Mind you, if god didn`t want you to do it he`d have given you shorter arms.

I`ll get me coat.
