Hi all
Last year a group of guys & gals in the UK who frequent a MMA forum caled "SFUK" decided to try something.
The idea was simple - hire a big room full of mats, invite the world & his dog, spend the whole day rolling. No egos - just the free echange of knowledge through sparring. The entry fee would be nominal - just enough to cover the hire of the hall & mats. Sounded very idealistic but guess what - it worked! These are great - everyone just gets stuck in and helps each other out. If you get with someone of a similar level - you battle it out! In a friendly way of course. If you get a partner who you are significantly better than - you coach them - sometimes mini-clinics pop up for a while through this - then it's off to work again. You come & go on & off the mat as you like - no pressure, no egos.
SFUK Open Mat 4 is this Sunday (21st) in Manchester, England - All of you UK based people are hereby invited Level of experience doesn't matter - everyone will learn.

One of the guys at my club was talking about this today, not your one, but one for publicity here..
