Mr. Gottlieb, i noticed on this forum that you mentioned going to a seminar with the honorable Dr. Gyi; my palms got sweaty. can you please, please, please let me know where this Oct. seminar is, and if there may be more slots available. or maybe is you know of anything coming up regarding Bando training. my friend would also be interested; he knows of Dr. Gyi's reputation. he's Airborne Ranger and has experimented with Bando (among a zillion other things!!); we both know that it's a golden opportunity and i haven't been able to find much out regarding Bando and the Doctor. BTW, i just got my ABA-CS Kukri; wow, what a monster knife and still quick in my hand. i would appreciate any info you might have. Thanks so much...

Kelt, First, call me Craig. Second, the khukuri training seminar will be in October in Ohio. I don't have exact dates yet, but am meeting with the ABA treasurer at his training studio tomorrow to get the details. I'll definitely post them as soon as I get more details, but I am sure there is probably space available. Dr. Gyi is going to be there, so it should be pretty neat.

Thank you Craig. i would need to put in for AL most likely (Murphy's laws of work-if you want to do something it's always on the night you are working). also would probably take a bus and stay the night before if my friend doesn't feel like commuting (we're coming from the Scranton, NE Pa area). so let me know; i appreciate it.
