It's a good thing I live in the Ft. Lauderdale area. Are you going to be there? What school are yopu from?

[BiNKy]

That sounds fun. I went to a tournament in Biloxi and I had a great time. I emailed that address for more info so hopefully I'll get some feedback. Hopefully I can get my classmates to join me this time.

Bad weekend for a San Shou tourney, Cung Le is hosting his annual event that same weekend.

i might be there....i'm emailing for more info...if anyone cares i'll post whether or not i'm going and results if i do go....it will be my first tourney of any kind

[dachiba]

I don't think it will make a difference. Cung Le is located in California and we're in Florida. Hopefully in the future, there will be a Sanshou tournament every weekend!

[BiNKy]

I still haven't got any reply with info on the tourney. If anyone has some info on it I'd really appreciate it. Here's my email benjamin_kidd@hotmail.com

I think the timing will make a difference. I think the more experienced, and those looking for a challenge will go to Cung Le's tournament.

hey daching...i wrote to that email address you posted and no reply. whats up with that??

[yu shan]

true, the email ad. didnt work for me, probably my computer dumbness!

I hear alot of CLF folks attend, how`s the fighting?

[Liokault]

Ok you guys have got my interest now.

Im thinking about flying over with a friend to compete in the San Shou.

Has any one got any idea how many guys are going as Cung Le's thing is on the same weekend?

[NorthernMantis]

Hey yu shan it sounds ike a plan. I've been doing pretty good. I'm thinking of doing forms and sparring and maybe some san shou to get a feel of it.Look foward hooking up with you. (pun intnded):D

[dachiba]

You can contact Andrew Chung for more info. His email is chungtaiqi@aol.com. I know he is going to be putting up a website about the tournament. I'll post it on here as soon as I get a link.

There were a lot of Choy Lay Fut Sanshou fighters last year. However, in addition to CLF, there are Wing Chun, Eagle Claw, and Northern stylist as well. Fighting was very competitive. It's great to see all the traditional stylist in Sanshou.

Hey Dachiba when are you going to post that web site ?

[Eddie]

I'm going to be in Frd Lauderdale on that date. I tried to e-mail the addy you gave, but seems like it doesnt work (returned e-mail saying user unknown).

Is there a website with some info?

[dachiba]

Let me check with Sifu and see when it will be up. He is having another student working on the site.

It seems like you are stressing the fighting part of the tournament. Isn't it true that many of the students from some of these schools couldn't fight if there life depended on it. What makes this tournament different. Do you expect a big turnout for the fighting. Just curious.

[dachiba]

Badfroggy, I think there is only one way for you to find out if there are good fighters, and that is to either compete or attend. Lot of the schools that attend produce excellent fighters. You'll see a lot of wing chun, choy li fut and eagle claw. You'll definitely have competition.

[badfrog666]

Where and When. I will definately have to check it out. How are the divisions determined? Is it by belt color or weight class or combination of the two?
