Board Gamers of West Volusia

Deltona, FL

Board Gamers of West Volusia
Hello and welcome! We are a friendly bunch of folks who like to get together to play strategy board and card games. So if you're looking for a group in the area to share the hobby with...you found us! Or if you're even a little bit interested in learning more about the hobby, then you're in the right place too! All skill levels are invited to join in. We teach every single game that we play, so please never feel intimidated to come by! Our interests are all over the map, but they generally tend towards modern strategy games. That's a pretty broad categorization, so maybe this list will give you a general idea of the types of games you might run into at our meetup: [https://boardgamegeek.com/browse/boardgame](https://boardgamegeek.com/browse/boardgame) Or better yet...here's a running list of all the games we *have* played at our meetups: [https://www.meetup.com/Board-Gamers-of-West-Volusia/messages/boards/thread/51770836#131480949](https://www.meetup.com/Board-Gamers-of-West-Volusia/messages/boards/thread/51770836#131480949) We are currently meeting one Sunday each month at the Deltona Regional Library, and one Sunday a month at the Deland Regional Library. The group's only condition is that you come to have fun, be nice, be sociable, and make some new friends! We are a pleasant community and would like to stay away from icky things like drama and negativity. Games are meant to be fun! So we aren't the kind of crew that gets bent out of shape about losing, or argues about rules...we'll probably even mess up a few rules along the way! But seriously, we're a really, genuinely sweet bunch of people that just like to get together and play. Looking forward to gaming with you soon!

Florida Chapter - Tabimina Balintawak System

Altamonte Springs, FL

Florida Chapter - Tabimina Balintawak System

Tabimina Balintawak is a Filipino Self-Defense System and Survival Art that use the single stick method to train its practitioners on developing advanced reflexive responses and other attributes needed to defend one's self or their loved ones against an assailant intent on harming them. This is accomplished and attainable through Tabimina Balintawak System's one on one instructor led training that quickly builds the foundational attributes needed for Survival.

The stick however is only a tool used to develop the body mechanics and reflexive responses that are directly translatable to empty-hand movements. Due to this, practitioners of Tabimina Balintawak are equally adept fighting with various weapons (stick, blade, knife, etc.), or without.

In addition, due to Tabimina Balintawak's advanced reflexive response training, it's a perfect way to  enhancing previous martial arts or sports training, such as Boxing, Jiu-Jitsu, Karate, Basketball, or any performance based activity where reflexive responses are imperative.

Tabimina Balintawak uses a unique method to train where its practitioners are taught directly one on one by a qualified instructor. The required personalized tutelage distinguishes Tabimina Balintawak from other arnis/kali/eskrima and martial arts styles where a student is typically teamed with another student, and pre-arranged drills are conducted. From day one new Tabimina Balintawak practitioner are given random and continuous attacks/strikes by a skilled instructor, generally at a speed just beyond his (or her) current ability to defend against. The beginning student’s mission is simple: to defend and counter the attacks. The result is an instructor-led training framework - called agak - that immerses the student in a dynamic state of attack and counters that he must strive to overcome. This is opposite of the “dummy” approach, typical of other styles where the attacker upon delivering a strike freezes or poses in the attack position so the defender can deliver multiple counters, this method is never used in Tabimina Balintawak.

In training, the student is always taught to assume their adversary is skilled and will not stand still for them. Hence, the emphases on development of a strong defense in training.

Tabimina Balintawak follows 4 main training principles - Random, On-Target, Real-Time, Under-Stress.

This group is open to beginners and experts alike, no prior experience is needed.

If you're tired of the common, dissatisfied with the impractical, looking for a new challenge in life, then check out a Tabimina Balintawak Training Session.

Pickleball ~ Wonderfuls (Beginners)!

Maitland, FL

This group is for anyone interested in Pickleball startup or drill practice. Come out and meet your coach Donna Smith extraordinaire coach. Classes are limited to 12 or 16 guests. You may sign up on https://playtimescheduler.com/ for Thursday morning beginner lessons $5 cash. Hope to see you gorgeousnesses soon! *** Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. It is typically played on a rectangular court with dimensions similar to a badminton court. The game is played with a solid paddle and a lightweight plastic ball with holes, similar in appearance to a wiffle ball. Pickleball can be played as a singles or doubles game. The rules are somewhat similar to tennis, with players serving diagonally and trying to hit the ball over the net and into the opponent's side of the court. One unique feature of pickleball is the "non-volley zone," often referred to as the "kitchen," which is an area near the net where players are not allowed to hit the ball out of the air (volley) unless the ball has bounced first. This rule helps to prevent overly aggressive play near the net. Pickleball is known for its social and inclusive nature, making it popular among people of all ages and skill levels. It can be played indoors or outdoors and has gained a lot of popularity in recent years due to its accessibility and the relatively low physical impact compared to some other racquet sports. The game is easy to learn for beginners, but can also offer a high level of competition for more advanced players.
