The Professor

Greetings, all.
I have recently moved back to Evansville after living over 15 years in Colorado. I've spent the past five years, off-and-on, learning MBC under Michael Rigg who was Mike Janich's oldest student.
I'm looking for other people who are interested in perhaps starting a group around the Evansville area OR finding a somewhat nearby group that I could visit a couple of times a month to catch up and continue to refine my skills.
For those who might be interested, but have no experience, I have about half a dozen Spyderco Endura trainer knives and we can get the Hitting-Sticks anywhere.
If there's a great enough demand for the full-on training, I will go to MBC Camp 2016 and try for Group Leader certification. Until then, we can use the videos and Distance Learning Program and my limited experience to get started.
For those who don't know what MBC is, the best I can recommend is to go pull up "Mike Janich" or "Martial Blade Concepts" on YouTube for example videos. I will say that after 35 years of studying various Martial Arts, I was impressed enough with this particular weapons-based style to have my wife start studying it for her own protection.
Hope to hear from any of you soon.
