Regional Event Feedback

Postby Sydney Heald Yarbrough » Thu Sep 07, 2006 7:18 am

I know that everyone who atended the event enjoyed it.
Great Studio, pretty countryside, huge spiders.
I guess for me the greatest benefits I got were getting to work with John again and the chance to train and spar with people I have never met before.
Meeting with other Study Group members always leaves me with a better understanding of the topics presented, (even those that I'm familiar with) not to mention a better understanding of how improved or deficient my sword skills are.

Ditto.
It was a great event, and it's always great to renew old aquaintances and meet new people. Particularly ARMA people. And an event, particularly with John, never fails to add to my insight.

This really was a great seminar. I met some great new people, and spent quality time with those I knew before. The training was excellent, and I learned a lot. If you haven't been to IDS, get your arse over there. You won't regret it.
Congrats to the new GF Scholars. We have some good folks down in Florida.

I also thoroughly enjoyed it. Many of the insights from John and the senior folks there gave me a better understanding about how to approach this both physically, intellectually, and emotionally.
