trevek2 Addict 119 posts	Friday 21st January 2005 at 09:29 A word of advice, if you are ever teaching English for a living in Poland and ypu wish to keep training... forget it! The one MA club in town which trained at good hours for me has stopped. A TJJ club where I had recently started learning TJJ. Working evening hours as I do all the martial arts clubs in town finish training before I finish work. When I die I will go to heaven because hell is certainly living in a place where you have judo, Kung Fu, karate, TKD, BJJ, TJJ, VT and more... and none of them have sessions later than 20.30 (when I finish work). Life is cruel! See how well I block all your

My work hours don't help, either. I'm pondering on the judo club if they do adult classes on a weekend. See how well I block all your

However, one of my teaching contracts has been suspended for a couple of months leaving me free on fridays. There is a Vale Tudo club which does BJJ on Fridays at 16.00, so guess what I'm gonna do this friday... See how well I block all your
