Oh, yeah, I’m sure you can do that. But if I have to drive into the city with you, I’m training and reviwing!!! You can sit there if you want. Besides, they have a GREAT conditioning system there, and I NEED to loose some weight since my health problems started last spring.
My doc. wieghed me in at 212.5 this morning. I’m best around 190-195. Last Fall (2000) I was an even 200 and still relatively strong. A little “Iron Fist Kung Fu” would be a good thing!!!

Those that are sucessful are also the biggest failures. the difference between them and the rest of the failures is this, they keep getting up over and over again, until they succeed. “The more they try, the more they fail, BUT, the more they try & fail, the more opertunity they have to succeed, and succeed they do!!”
Check out the Royal Dragon Web site & Message Board.
Great to hear that you are signing up! Did you receive my e-mail response? About the tournament, we’re still on the drawing board, putting all of our ducks in a row.
I know that Maryland in a little ways away but our school goes every year and we work out deals with tickets and hotel stay. Maybe next year you could come along with us, lots of fun!
Hey that would be great! I heard there is a tournament in Chicago in April it is sanctioned by the USA wushu Kungfu federation. I will probally be there. I could probally get a good size place for a tournament for little or no $. Since I teach at the Kankakee park district I could pitch it to them as a promotional thing for Kungfu and we could get the building for free. We have a few good sized gyms and other buildings at our disposal. I am not sure if Kankakee is the best location for people but it is easy to get around and has good hotels. If there is anything I can do to help you with just let me know.
That could be a good option too. We we’re thinking about Madison, most of my contacts are here and it’s easier to coordinate things close to home, but I will definetely keep that in mind.
BTW, I’m sending you the USCKF info via regular mail.
Let’s keep in touch and keep the ball rolling!
Do you have any info on the USAWKF Chicago event? I haven’t heard or seen anything.
I saw it on their web page under events and sent an email to the promoter. There are 2 dates on the site but one is wrong it is on April 27th. He is sending me some stuff in the mail. I am not sure what events will be there but I’ll keep in touch. I under stand about trying to keep things close since that would be simplist but I have this urge to make kungfu popular in my area. What states are in your jurisdiction?
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana.
I know a few people in some of these states, hopefully it’ll extend to all of them soon. It would be awesome to have a really strong CMA community in this region like you see in the East and West regions. That way we could support a strong and well organized CMA regional tournament.

It’s about time I hear sombody besides me say this! Thats actually the reason I post on these boards. Hmmm maybe by the list of states Illinois is kinda a central place to hold the tournament. I agree that it would help if we knew each other though. I was playing with the idea of some kind of newsletter or magazine for the areas in your list, I just don’t know much about getting it started. If you have any ideas maybe we could get somthing started!
We could use the newsletter to introduce the teachers to each other and talk about upcoming seminars, events and tournaments… it’s great that we have the same passion here SD! Good synergy!
You still have my e-mail address right? We can see what the response on the board is and send info to those who are interested. Once we have a few people we can send an openning newsletter to those interested.
