ok i have found quit a difficulty to this, and i dont mean to stur up trouble. I have noticed that some or most classes that i, and many others, really want to take can not be taken. for a list of reasons.
1. GMT time, this is a major issue, for me at least. if we could get possibly another trainer, if anyone would do it. for example, a saber class that i need takes place at 5 AM my time (0500) and i cant get up that early. A way we might be able to accomplish something is to have a different teacher say like 5 PM that day, like 12 hours afterwords.
2. for others in different countries than that of america, im sure they would want to take classes that are taught through an American teacher. Seeing how this relates strongly to no.1 on my list i think we should look into it.

Now dont get me wrong, i mean all the respect there is in the world. I am thinking about those who want to take that class and learn something. Even myself gets disapointed because i cant learn something from a Great Master who may live in Australia, or Germany.

So, In no way am i demanding anything. I am simply asking if there is someway we could possibly take a look at it and perhaps if the council decides to create classes for the afternoon so we can possibly do it.

Thank you.
Jer

Most of the classes are set into the mid-morning/afternoon time slots for both Euro and US. The class times are chosen by the instructors based on the free time that they have. The instuctors also invent each of their classes based on what they want to personally teach. Many times other instuctors will cover a class for each other but primarily each class is taught by the one who wrote it up.

The class times are also chosen based on how many people will actually be avialable to attend. A time slot that is 3pm est will have better turn out then one that is 3am est.


But still, some wacky insomnia style classes would be cool. Back in the day there were a few (Bubu used to hold some). Maybe a few more will show up since there does seem to be a steady flow of students on at night. And the regular night crew (myself included) might be up for some night classes.

But you should also not get discouraged from learning if you miss the classes. You can always just hop on the servers and ask people for help. And if you can ever track down the instuctor of the class you missed then you can bug em for some quick pointers.

I know what you mean dude. I've thought about maybe teaching a class later at night for me, but earlier in the day for everyone else. But, that's not until later in thre future. I'm going to find a job and get my hours planned out before I try and start a class.
