Looking for 6 guys in Montreal to try a new combat-inspired game

Français ci-dessous

I’m developing a new 1-on-1 physical game that combines elements of tag, strategy and combat-sports movement. You wear detachable targets and try to capture your opponent’s while defending your own.

It’s also a seriously good workout. A few minutes of playing gets you moving, changing levels, reacting, defending and attacking constantly.

Part of why I’m creating it is that I still want the feeling of physically competing against another person, but I don’t necessarily want to box, spar or get punched in the head to do it (because I'm over 40). I’m trying to create something that gives you that competitive intensity and exercise in a different way. A safe form of non-strike combat.

I have working prototypes now and need more people to actually play so I can improve the rules and equipment.

This isn’t a sales pitch and there’s no charge. I’m looking for reasonably active adults who are comfortable with physical play. You do not need martial-arts experience.

We’ll play for about 45 minutes, try a few variations, and I mainly want to hear what you think and see what happens when different people play.

If you like competition, getting a workout, or just trying a weird new sport before anyone has heard of it, send me a DM.

Je développe un nouveau jeu physique en 1 contre 1 qui combine des éléments de jeu de poursuite, de stratégie et de mouvements inspirés des sports de combat. On porte des cibles détachables et le but est de prendre celles de son adversaire tout en protégeant les siennes.

C’est aussi un excellent entraînement. Après seulement quelques minutes, on bouge beaucoup, on change constamment de niveau, on réagit, on défend et on attaque.

Une des raisons pour lesquelles je crée ce jeu, c’est que j’aime encore la sensation de me mesurer physiquement à quelqu’un, mais je n’ai pas forcément envie de boxer, de faire du sparring ou de recevoir des coups à la tête pour y arriver — surtout maintenant que j’ai passé 40 ans. J’essaie de créer une autre façon de retrouver cette intensité compétitive tout en faisant beaucoup d’exercice.

J’ai maintenant des prototypes fonctionnels et j’ai besoin de plus de personnes pour jouer afin de pouvoir améliorer les règles et l’équipement.

Ce n’est pas une vente et c’est gratuit. Je cherche simplement des adultes assez actifs qui sont à l’aise avec un jeu physique. Aucune expérience en arts martiaux n’est nécessaire.

On jouerait pendant environ 45 minutes, on essaierait quelques variantes, et mon objectif principal est d’avoir vos impressions et de voir comment le jeu évolue avec différents types de joueurs.

Si vous aimez la compétition, faire de l’exercice ou simplement essayer un sport un peu étrange avant que tout le monde en ait entendu parler, envoyez-moi un message privé.

Looking to connect with Sikh friends in Montreal

I’m in Montreal and fairly new to Sikhi. I’ve been learning on my own, visiting Gurdwaras, asking questions and trying to understand the faith more seriously.

What I’m missing now is some real-life connection.

I’d like to meet a few Sikh people locally, ideally for coffee, conversation, maybe attending a Gurdwara together occasionally, and just getting to know people in the community.

I’m not looking for formal teaching or anything complicated. Just genuine friendship and the chance to learn naturally from people who are part of the community.

I’m closer to Park Ex, but I can get around Montreal.

If that sounds like something you’d be open to, feel free to DM me.
