Yey!! just seen the video, only knew cos I saw Bens' post complaining about it
Nice one Mr J, looks sweet man, got some good stuff on it, well done to the camera man too (Ben). Hope we can keep getting new footage to keep the vids coming, maybe then we might have one of Ben staying on his feet? I like it because it actually makes us look like we know what we're doing??....how did that happen!?
Glad you like it! To Ben, well in the other clips you look cool- doing a flip and taking Mr Tony down . It was tricky to get a mix of everyone- im going to put up the individual fights up here too so no one worry if you didnt get enough air time: this was just a short highlights vid of this year.
If you compare it to 2006 clip theres such a major speed/power and sharpness difference. Very proud of you guys- keep up the hard work and looking forward to seeing the standard of the Omni Team 2008 .
Please reply here, let us know if you can or cant come- and if there are any better days if really not possible. Try to let anyone know who hasnt seen the message. Thanks, James
nah, seriously. Sounds good. Weekend, then no rush for time, somewhere central, late afternoon/evening food and drinks is my suggestion and getting Mr Teacher drunk is my mission for the night. Then lets see your fancy combo kicks boy'o
but I am flexible if anyone has a better idea. Be nice to know a plan ASAP, so I know not to plan other stuff for this time and date etc. thoughts?
Seeing as how I can't edit my previous post (or see easily where to do that). I've found the post about the social.
8th might be difficult to make, unless it's later in the evening, I'll be in London until at least 17:30.
I'm in Poland from 11th - 17th inclusive so won't be able to make any days in between.
Don't plan around me though, just letting you know.
P.S Thanks to tone for showing me where the vids are
P.P.S I'll have to start sparring sooner or later else I'll never make my debut as a Pink Fluffy Ninja Starlet
P.P.P.S Mr Benedict Sir, can you not squeeze us in at any part of the weekend?
P.P.P.P.S Mr Denial (you know who you are)- think you could make, say, an 8pm start?
I'm gonna go ahead and P.P.P.P.P off now
Haha, me drunk? Bring it on!! Ok so it seems now the best time is Sat Night again but later. Guess what- apparently that day theres a big fight night on wth Amir Khan at 9. Maybe we could go to a nice cosy type bar have dinner and watch the match in background?
Black horse down the road might be good option cos they do great food: me and sandy eat there some lunch times? Im thinking most of us can start earlier and peeps like Dan and Si could arrive later for drinks? Any thoughts?
Summary: Sat 8th, Black Horse, 8 till late as you wish?
I might be able to make 20:00 but I can't guarantee it.
I think that date and time works for everyone else though so I think you should go for it.
If I can make it I'll come!
Err, are we actually aiming to be in a venue where that event will be occuring? Or are we looking for a quieter pub where we can actually enjoy our meal in relative calm?
I'd like to do some silly awards on Saturday night, and I know it's really last minute but it would be good if you guys can email me and nominate people for things, e.g The Award for Best Teacher - James, The Award for the Best Painted Toenails - Tony that sorta thing!
Of course if you have any serious but positive ones you wanna dish out, bring em on!! I shall make up some certificates and we can have a really serious, formal presentation ceremony on Saturday
8pm Saturday? I will put myself down as a maybe. I am working on Saturday (Grrrr) so will have to see what time I get back from Milton Keynes as to if I can make it or not.

Hi everyone, thanks to you all of you who made an appearance it was a really good night and been told a few times was a great evening- I think there was 10 of us who made it in the end...
For those who were unable to come we went to a Vietnese restaurant where the kind Sarit brought us crackers and did some impressive awards certificates. (What would we do without you Sarit?) We then went on to a girly dancing bar (where tony got asked to show his legendary trunction). We then after thinking we would would miss the fight - amazingly walked into a bar and there it was full screen in all its glory (well done will). Pics to be put up soon with awards, thanks again everyone :).
Yeah! It was a great evening. I really enjoyed it.
Also, I have to join Mr Teacher in thanking Sarit who, with her nice kind idea, made the Omni Xmas Dinner even more special
I think that the evening, packed with anecdotes, was a real "adventure"
Yes very nice evening. I hope everybody got home well and those who stayed out longer continued to have a good time.
Thanks to Sarit for getting Chuck and Jean Claude involved and Ginger Ninja for organising.
Thanks for the thanks . Was great to see you and glad you enjoyed the evening as much as I did. Next time I reckon a proper ceremony is in order - tuxedos all round, er, except of course, the lovely Sandra and moi .
If you have any awards/nominations then email me and I'll make up the certs.
Likin the New Year's Eve idea, just got to plan transport!!
Big fluffy hugz.
Sounds good . Just to add everyone- we must not forget that Oded paid for the wine, and he's too nice to bring it up so i think ill make the collection at training on Friday. If Oded gives back Wills £5 that he kindly donated towards it, then if im not mistaken we all owe Oded £2.50 (please let me know if this is not correct). If you cant be at training then please give it to someone who can pass it on- we dont want oded to be broke over xmas
I will be posting a news message soon when I confirm with Alisdair when the gym closes for xmas. Take care -JDF
Hey guys n gals, just wanted to write and say that I won't be coming tonight to training. As I am off snowboarding very early on Saturday morning. I also don't wanna have to fight Will and risk being injured before I go. I know he's been itching to try and take me out....unsuccessfully so far.
So I really just wanted to wish all you lovely people a happy Christmas, I shall be away from London now until after xmas but New yr should still be a go! I still haven't heard any final plans for New Year but should maybe still be around if anything is doing unless something else gets organized in the meantime.....don't wanna be stuck with nothing to do, do I?
okay well have fun tonight and over the next couple of weeks, lots of food, alcohol and merriment. I'll be looking forward to the next session asap, i'll be the slower fatter one.
hey James, I found that jump roll demo video we were talking about....slightly shorter version than I remember but you'll get the idea. take a peep and then we'll give it a go.
