If I can get some one to spring for my plane ticked I'm so there. That'd be a **** of a trip guys, kudos to whom ever makes it. BTW what the heck is plane fare from Albq, NM to Israel going for these days anyway?

Hey Chambers,
i think the air fare should be around the $1000-1200 and our charm is free...LOL

Hmmmmm, Free charm..... Tell you what you spring for my air fare and I'll supply my wit free of charge. *G* I'd love to make that one but even if I had the bucks for it my girlfriend would kill me. "by honey, going to train in Israel for a week" If I did show up I would likely be paralized from the eyebrows down.

Hi Guy! I just talked with Bram & we are working up a number of us who are returning to the Holy Land! Peter, Jody & myself are planning on it, Driscoll unfortunately is in Japan for another 5 months or so.

Anyone outside the "family" that's interested in attending, you will not regret it! See the world, train with some of the worlds best & have a great time.

We are looking into group airfare rates probably from NY/JFK, we will keep you posted.

OK I'm back from teaching the Krav Maga..yup the USA brach of the KM...
I look forward to going back too Israel..
Nothing is too expensive..its a matter of perspective..really..A trip to the Holy land invaluable training, good times and really blood pumping situations..very very cool.
You'd pay more to stay here and go to the Riddle, Water n Steel etc..( no offense meant of course to Jim n Kelly's cool camps!!)
Plus how many of you ever been to Israel? to Jerusalem? Its over-powering to see the Holy Land..to be where the family of Moses went to, Christ and others have been... the Caesars..Alexander,..King David & Solomon..
This is OUR Mecca..with steel thrown in as well..
talk to all of you later!

I'm already so excited I can't sleep!
I really can't afford to go, but then again I can't afford not to.
Anyway, I look forward to meeting you all.
I'll be easy to spot... I'm the newbie.
A quick thanks to Steve for keeping me in the loop.

Fair go David, coming to Australia is no laughing matter. We take ourselves very seriously, NOT <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0><img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help while you're here, are you going to be doing any teaching?

Hi Scorpio. I'm trying really hard to get to the Commandments. Not sure who else is coming from the UK but I'm sure those that can will be there. It will be great to see you again and I'm looking forward to meet as many of the "family" as I can. I can't wait !
The big move Down Under will soon be here, the house is sold and we're just sorting out the final paperwork. CSSD-SC will be in the Land of Oz, looking forward to meeting up with Clay and Hy and anyone else that wants to train with me.
Say hi to Yuval for me and I hope both you and your families are well

Steve

my best regards to the family.
Guy.

Driscoll · #15

Clay,

Thanks allot, the only teaching i'll be doing is some maintenance training to the Marines I'm traveling with.

Scorpio,
It's good to hear from you as well. It's still up in the air as to whether I can make an appearance at the commandments, i'm pulling every string I can though.

Take care everyone,

Driscoll

BRAM · #17

This post does not reflect SPYDERCO, the MBC forum or its views..It is my posting ONLY...

Well see what a little Passover Massacre will do..OK a few suicide bombers..
killing civilians,,Hey in Haifa they killed Arabs as well..WTF????
It blows apart the region BEFORE we even get there..
I wish my Israeli friends and family the best in this hard time..
I have no patience for the Palestinians and their suicide bombings and terrorist actions..
There is no excuse for killing civilians nor for attacking on the holidays..
Its time to finish it..

I'll try to work out being there for the Commandments..
The State Dept has issued a non travel order to Israel..
The Arab Council in meeting this morning has said that Suicide Bombers and Palestinian Terrorists are not terrorists but FREEDOM fighters..
I'll teachg real non politically correct old style Filpino cutting @ this Commandments..
Theres a need to be able to shut down the bad guys..

again.
I wish you all the best over there..
Be safe!

Bram

scorpio · #19

gee! i'm slow,
did not follow the forum for a while and did not see your thread Bram.
yes COMMANDMENTS is on and old style philipino cutting sounds pretty good to me..
there is nothing wrong PC with good old fashioned self defence,trust me on that one.
i'm looking forward to see you and the rest of the guys coming to commandments and i;m sure we'll have a great time.
and for a change i belive the Palestianns will be a little more quiete for a while..
scorpio.

Cutting is the word of the day!
