Location: LA Boxing

                3335 College Park Dr. 

                The Woodlands TX 77384.

Time: 12:pm to 6:pm with an hour lunch break

Contact: Curt at NASDI01@aol.com

Our gym has a 1500 sq.ft. mat that will fit about 28 people.  We also have a full size kickboxing ring that we can put another 8 people in for grappling.  We have 30 heavy 6' bags, a weight room and a cage set up.

For those who have trained with Erik Paulson in the past, you already know who he is and what he does.  For those who haven't, check out his website.  CSW Training Center » Welcome To CSW Online 

This seminar is being hosted by a friend of mine, Tim Mousel  I've known Tim for about 16 years so I can personally vouch for him.

Tim teaches classes on Shepard and Brittmore, here in Houston, and has classes Monday through Thursday evenings.  Check out Tim's website at: Mousel's Self-Defense Academy - Mixed Martial Arts, Jeet Kune Do, Thaiboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 

Because of the size of our gym, the space is limited to about 50 students, the way Erik normally trains.  So make sure you are signed up now to save your space.  The student base is first come, first served.

If you already know Tim, feel free to contact him to make payment for the seminar, if not, contact me as soon as possible and I'll add you to our list of students attending.  Again, payment ASAP.  Space is still limited to about 50 people, if you're one of our students or not.  I personally have about 8 students going.  Patrick Price probably has 6.  Tim McFatridge, from Waco, will probably have 5.  Richard will probably bring 3.  So just with our group alone, we'll make up almost half.  Make sure your space is secured now.

Cash, check, visa/mc/amex accepted.
