Just curious who is planning on going, who plans on competing in what?
Im going, just going to do jacket wrestling this time..
You have to wear one of those damn michelen man chest things to fight… fock that. Not worth my time. Wrasslin will be fun anyhoo.
We should be bringing a team. I was planning on fighting San Shou this year (yeah, I know, TJL San Shou isn’t Big 7 San Shou quality), but I’m having a hard time convincing my body to cooperate. I was in fight shape before my daughter was born in August and maybe even until I got supa sick in December , but right now, I don’t have the lungs for it. I’m working on getting them back, but I have a nagging big toe injury and I’ve pulled 3 muscles in the last 4 weeks in my neck and back, so rehab is slowing me down. There is still plenty of time, so we’ll see.
If I can’t fight, I’ll compete in some weapons events. Probably Traditional Staff, Long Weapons, Broadsword, and if another classmate of mine comes, we’ll probably do a Staff vs 3-section Staff two-man set. In open-hand, I only do Traditional Northern.
I’m thinking about coming down and watching; getting a feel for the flavor there.
One of my guys will be fighting that day, so I will be there coaching. Dont forget the continuous sparring (which was more brutal than the San Shou last time) doesn’t require any Michelin products.
Trad. forms, push hands, etc…

Continuous sparring is on Sunday, though. I don’t like staying overnight, so I usually skip it.
can you provide a link again please

Yeah, what Oasis said.
I’m scheduled to go.
And if we can get everyone here together again, we’ll continue our tradition of forum members posing for a shot for the magazine (but please, keep your clothes on).

ugh, should i be scared? :o
What kind of ****erotic venture are the 2 of you setting up on my thread?
:eek:
Yeah, but the continuous sparring is for “advance only”… Im only a green belt in Shuai Chiao. (Ok, not yet, but within the next couple weeks.)

Belts don’t matter. It goes by years of experience in a CMA tournament. You have more than 4 years total training, yes? So fudge a little and pony up.
11 years total training - 3 years of highschool and drugs = 8 years total training.
Light contact? Foot and shin pads? No fingerless gloves?
Bah.
Damn sissies.
losttrak- they werent dishing out penalties for hitting people too hard?
Throws are allowed?

No throws, but people do get beat up pretty good in the continuous sparring. Plenty of bloody noses. The judges tend to let the fighters fight.
Sweet.
Then Ill do that and jacket wrestling.
Too bad they dont allow throws…
And I hate wearing those damn marshmallow poof gloves.
I’m thinking about fighting next year once I get a feel for the competition. I don’t like the fact that you can’t sweep the rear or support leg and I like the freedom of fingerless gloves (even though I usually have to tape a couple of fingers togehter after a tournament.) Who knows, I may get down there and change my mind and decide to fight. Probably won’t do forms regardless.
