Looks like another Academy set up just like the international one already set up, i doubt very much it is thte actual Taufic, picture does not look like him and somehow he seems very short.
The programme is almost a carbon copy of the other academy.

It s a new version just north of Copenhagen. I personally don't know the guys running it but their paper qualifications look good enough. i.e well qualified on paper but no real experience of playing themselves.
From what they write then they are very willing to teach off court skills to a high level.
If you go on it then have lots of cash available!!

I think this is a bit unfair on Kim Bender who of course knows of Martin Dew through his association with Gentofte.
I do believe he was addressing his offer to anyone who was interested, a touch of the little Englander about the comment ill befitting a Scot!
I take it from your comments that you have a comprehensive knowledge of Danish badminton?
Was this gained before or after you embarked on the Bonanza circuit? :)

After obviously, in the cointext of both the thread and the post in general why would an individual quote someone and then offer an answer as such?
Not really the quote keeping the answer in context then was it? If you are interested then contact us, why would Martin be interested?
If it was in general then he should never have been quoted, just my humble opinion but i supposed as being a recreational player i'm not entitiled to one of those :rolleyes:
And as for the comment ill befitting a Scot? Why so?
And dont worry i take the comment in the way it is meant but since you know me so well then you must at least expect some kind of argument ;)

Contextual semantics, stroking beard moment :cool:
Ill befitting a Scot because having a go at other small nations i.e Denmark/Danes is not the usual form.
By all means have a go at England,China etc but the less populated nations amongst us must band together :)
If you want to fire shots have a clear view of the target before you fire, just like your forehand jump smash!

I dont have a forehand jump smash; more of a forehand fast(ish) drop :(
