I think Abe got confused with all the clubs he went to when he went on his tour of TT clubs. 42andbackpains does not want to to play at that club. The guy with the short fuse is Coach Li and his club is NYITTC...He actually played the Korean clubs USATT first sanctioned tournament and was giving the Tournament directors a hard time because of the time scheduling. I will tell you about him when i see you in person...i dont want to spread rumors in public...lol I actually play at NYISC which is about a 10 to 15 minutes drive from the flushing Korean club. Der_Echte and Carl, our club actually has a beer license...hee hee So our club is competitive but can also be very laid back.
We have 2 twelve year old boys juniors in our club that train regularly and are rated around 2000. Also a 16 year old rated around 2450...
Our club is run by Shao Yu and we have 4 coaches around 2500 to 2600
Jishan Liang plays at our club and he is rated 2650 and the Pan Am womens gold medal winner Yue Wu plays here too.
Sorry, i dont want to sound like a commercial...but i will always try to promote my club...always trying to promote the sport and get more club members.
