Looks interesting.

 

[Tinman]

Would love to see you there Mark.

Henk has a different perspective due to his background should be very interesting.

Ditto. Very interested. I've had training, but just don't wanna be overwhelmed if its for advanced players.

Understatement.

I recommend training with Henk.

 

[Tinman]

Sorry for the delayed response guys, was out of commission this weekend.

There was a slight delay in getting these up on the website, I've been told it will be done by Wednesday this week.

As far as training, if you can dafely manipulate the firearm, and are in reasonably good shape (there will be some movement involved) you should be able to manage. You will have a high learning curve, so be prepared to work hard, pay attention and take notes.

Tinman....

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

You're welcome!

Henk is highly recommended. I'd put him in my top 5 of "must train with that guy" list. The physical intensity of the class may be matched by a few others, but there will also be a mental and emotional intensity that you won't get many other places. You also won't find many instructors with his level of practical experience in actually putting into action everything he teaches. You may ask yourself "WHY??!!" when you're half way through and sore, but after it's over you'll be glad you did it.
