Earlier this year , somewhere around June , I was supposed to meet up with Michael Belzer , a of Donn Draeger's top students , on a field ( training ) trip to Malaysia . I have been longing to go on one of these trips ever since i read about Donn Draeger . His plan was to go there and meet up with his old friends he last seen about 10 years ago in various parts of Malaysia and train with them . The original plan was for me to take a bus ride to Seremban and to meet Mike and a friend of his , Christopher there . The bus ticket was cheap and so it was no problem for me . In terms of a place to stay and travelling , we had plans to stay with Christopher's family and travel in his car . Mike made his way to Japan , to train with his sensei , a well known martial artist from the UK , Steven Bellamy , for a week . And then , he would take a plane to Malaysia. However , the whole plan went down the drain when Mike's hip problem got worse , and he had to take a plane back to the US . Such a disappointment . But who knows , we might be able to meet up again.
