Do many of you guys/gals go to tournaments? I went to the Wong Fei Hung Championships in New Jersey (US) last year and found a several different Wing Chun schools attending. It was fun. Anyway, it’s rolling around again and I was curious if anyone was interested in going this year. Maybe some of us can meet there since we never seemed to get our “friendly fellowship” together in the past.
What do you say, Dave? Maybe you can ask some of the guys on the WCML. Could be fun, and maybe some of us could meet for the first time. You/or anyone who’s interested can e-mail me regarding this if you want at munhung777@aol
I would love to go to tournaments, I just dont know where, when they are. I must not be looking in the right places. I have just started WC about 3 mons. ago, then I injured my hand and have been out for about a month and in that month I felt my enthusiasm fading. Being able to go to tornaments or demo., hanging out with other WC would definitley be a plus for me. Any suggestions Dave? BTW, I will be in class tonight.
Missed you last week. Of course I will not be there tonight. Giving a farewell dinner to a guy at work. He is being transferred to Wisconson, poor guy, LOL. But, I will definetely be there next Tuesday and thereafter.
Mun Hung,
If you can provide the details I would be glad to try and attend. BTW: I have not given up on a friendly get together. I just may have to bring the kids LOL
I hope to be there. I also passed the info on to the WCML so perhaps others will be there as well.
Anyone wishing to meet should let everyone else know so we can coordinate a place and time to get together.
I have received a couple of e-mails inquiring about attending this event.
I would like to pose a suggestion that someone who is familiar with either the event or the area in which it is taking place post a proposed meeting area and time. I don’t know how many people are interested in attending but it would be nice if we had some way of figuring out who is who As one person who e-mailed me asked, “Will we use secret hand signals?” Perhaps we can all wear a red carnation, LOL
Seriously, it would be nice to have a way to identify those of us from this board who wish to meet. I am open to suggestions. Also curious as to how many people intend to be there.
For those wishing to attend lets try and determine a place and time to meet which is agreeable with everyone.
Abstract,
I like the secret signs idea. However, after you learned them I might have to kill you Besides, do you really think any of us could keep a secret? next thing you know we would have BJJ people using our signals and pretending to do Wing Chun
I just saw this post, I have a suggestion that might offer some help. When you guys arrive at the tourny, just come look for me at the main table (or just ask anyone of the Yee’s student who I am), from there I can direct where your group will be hanging out at.
mun hung, sihing 73, thks for passing the words about the tourny and providing the link to our school.
Thanks for the suggestion. I don’t see any problem and it would simplify things a bit. Now if we coudl all agree on a time. Speaking of which could you post the times for the tourney as well.
It seems like we have a chance to put some faces to the names, how about it guys??? I am planning on attending and will probably bring along my “bodyguard” to protect me from those who don’t like me. Lest ye scoff too quickly beware my 4 year old daughter is quite deadly, LOL. However, I will most likely be bringing her as she loves watching me practice and I want to nurture that interest as much as possible. So far she thinks she “knows” Wing Chun. Shoot, I don’t even “KNOW” Wing Chun we are just on speaking terms.
Please go to our web sites for details info concerning the tourny. www.yeeshungga.com
The registration starts at 8 Am and the competition around 10 Am. We try to get things going on time but as anyone who been to tourny before, it will be a hard task, lol , but we will try our best.
Sihing73, will you be available to help judge? If so,the judges meeting will probably be around 9:30 AM.
DF
ps By the way, no need for bodyguard. Yee’s will provide protection during the tourny, but not in the parking lot, lol.
Its a friendly gathering , just come and have fun.
Thanks for the times I hope to be able to meet with you at the tourney.
As to judging, I am not sure I am competent enough to offer anything of value. If you have a need then you can e-mail me directly and we can discuss whether or not I have anything to offer. I would like to see this event a success so if I can be of any help I will be glad to do what I can. dmcknight@rcn.com sihing73@juno.com
I am hoping to be there. It is about 110 miles and 2 1/2 hours from my house. Given this I am hoping we can confirm who will be there as I would hate to make the trip and find no one else made it. If it starts at 10 am I would need to leave no later than 7:30 am to make it. I am not used to getting up that early on weekends :rolleyes: come to think of it I try not to get up that early during the week either
Right now it looks like you, me and Abstract. I guess meeting at the main table as suggested by DF is a good idea. Want to figure on about 9:45 or so?
Anyone else care to join us??? I promise not to bite
I won’t be there until 11:30-12ish. One of my friends is coming with me, but he’s gotta do abit of work until 10am, so after I pick him up, we’ll be there.
