Southern Appalachian Chinese Martial Arts Tournament

thanks yu shan. we try, have alot of work ahead of us. you know i respect you pong lai guys as well, good solid training with quality instruction. after all we are kinda family from 2 or 3 different angles. with sifu steve robinson and shr fu john being connected, plus the wl element;) you are always welcome here my friend.

oh yeah, we do have a chinatown, kinda small and sporadic tho. yep, gm lee koon hung was a true kung fu master in every sense. he was a wonderful man, and the world a lesser place without him. clfnole and sow choy are a testimony to what kind of teacher lkh was.

Saeksan, just so you are aware, we won’t be doing Lei Tai this year.

We want to but decided we would get the bugs worked out of the general process before we added the full contact. We are definitely planning it for 2007.

Also, in NC we can’t do a full contact tourney due to restrictions imposed by the NC Boxing Commission. No fighter can have more than one match a day. My thought now is if there is enough interest we can run Lei Tai on both saturday and sunday to get everyone at least two fights. The restriction is solely got to do with the gloves. If we went to 14/16 oz gloves then we could do a tourney format.

Thanks for your interest.

Thanks for the heads up, my forms team needs a bit of practice too in a tournament setting too, so maybe we’ll be there for that.

Can you send me printed info? Is there a mailing list?

Thanks!

Great!

sacmatinfo@ashevillemartialarts.com

Check your e-mail…

Sorry Oso, dont mean to hijack your thread.

hungsingclf, thank you sir for the open invite. Yep, I know about our family relationship. Sorry I have not gotten with you sooner. We can share war stories ehh!:wink: I will call you soon.

Do you get alot of local chinese eateries calling you for the new years? Just curious. They are stubborn here… us being white boys and all.

i worked for years making contacts, doing charity work, eating some crap from people time to time, and in general just being nice even when i wasn’t getting the same kinda attitude. went in did a good job and everything else just kinda fell in place. also pricing is important as well as having the best possible equipment you can afford. being able to understand the culture and ettiqute of the lion is monumentaly important, as well as knowing how to solve puzzles set forth by your employer. when all these things are in order word of mouth takes over. we play the old style fut san lion with 7*'s beat. i’m forever indebted to my si hing, sifu bryan jang and si goo adeline louie (combined 75 yrs of lion experience) for training me and my guys. in short, it depends on location, whether the business owner really understand what lion is. hope this helps some.

yu shan, no worries.

Saeksan - my return email to you bounced ‘full mailbox’

Oso,

Sorry man,

Someone sent me a huge file with pics, just cleared it, can you please re-send the info?

Thank you,

Nelson

Nelson, still bounced. The file i’m sending you is about 2.5 meg…that might be the problem. I can send you two files…one about 1.5 the other about 700kb. maybe it’s your server regecting my email due to file size.

Oso,

I got the 1M one. Nice flyer! I’ll print it and post it at our guan.

Once again thank you!

:slight_smile:

Could you send that info to me so that I have something to present to my sifu.

He teaches Choy li fut and Yang Tai Chi in Havelock, NC

SanHeChuan, please send an email to

sacmatinfo@ashevillemartialarts.com

and I’ll send the info back to you.

thanks,

Matt

Just post it to the website for download. Saves you work as long as your account has enough bandwidth.

It doesn’t have enough bandwidth.

Registration form, maps and the rules are on the website though the rules aren’t in a downloadable format they could be copy and pasted to Notebook or Word.

don’t mind the work, have plenty of helpers.

Ok, but here’s a tip if you get tired of emailing.

Set up an account on a free site and drop the files there, then link to them from your site. When downloaded they will use the bandwidth allowance for the free website and not your main website.

Oso,
I did make a PDF version of the rules downloadable on the Rules page of the site.

Pre-Registration Reminder

Meant to bump this last week.

Pre-Registration ends Jan 13th.

This event is shaping up to be pretty well attended as we’ve gotten a lot of feedback from schools close to us in SC, GA and TN.

I hope to see some of you guys from a bit further afield.

Again, full details are available at
