Ok, been getting settled in but have finally worked out my Saturday schedule for some sparring.
Date
Saturday Sept 16
Time
1pm-5pm
Place
Asheville NC
Rules
http://www.ikfkickboxing.com/SanShouRules.htm
Contact Level
Decided by the participants before each match.
The idea is to spar at a good hard, 'training level' of contact but not quite full contact.
Gear
Minimum 12 oz. Boxing Glove Mandatory
Shin/Instep Pads or Full Foot Pads Mandatory
Cup & Mouthguard Mandatory
Headgear Optional.
Weight Classes
We'll match people up close as we can. If a little guy wants to fight a bigger guy I'll let it happen but will stop the match if it obviously is a mis-match.
Ring Area
I will have a 16'x16' area set up with a double layer of Puzzle Mats.
So, a 1 3/4 '' layer on concrete.
The bottom layer will be the soft Century brand of puzzle mats
The top layer will be the firmer Wandix brand.
This is what we use in school and it's a decent enough surface w/o being so soft you can't move well.
Walls will be close on two sides of the ring area but I'll have folding mats attached to those walls.
The other two sides will be very open with folding mats on the floor.
Match Length
Probably 3 2-minute rounds w/ 1 min rests.
We can play around with this the day of.
***Also, there won't be any 'judging' of matches. I figure we'll round robin 3 round matches till we can't go anymore...or 5pm. I will primarily be stopping the action to prevent injury or when out of bounds***
Age Requirement
18+ Adults only...you will have to sign a waiver to participate.
*****Women Welcome*****
I have one beginner female (less than 2 years and just 3 light contact continuous sparring matches) who will be there.
She'll go with guys around her size (145) but we'd like to see some women show up.
Answers to some questions:
Yes, boxing gloves...if you don't think you can 'do kung fu' with them then don't show up.
Headgear is optional. However, if you chose to wear headgear, I will reserve the right to tell you your headgear sucks and you may wear something I have or nothing.
Finally: My House, My Rules.
I want a friendly gathering with the intent of working with San Shou rules in the interest of having San Shou gain popularity in the region.
Leave the attitudes and come ready to have some fun beating the crap out of each other.
So:
If your gear is inadequate, I won't let you use it.
I'll stop a match to keep someone from getting hurt.
I'll do whatever else I think needs to be done to keep things friendly and safe.
Don't bother arguing with me here about any of the rules. You don't like 'em; stay home.
PM or Email me for directions.
Atlanta, Knoxville, Charlotte (and anyone else close enough to make a day trip of it) let me here from you. I'm posting this 6 weeks out in hopes of getting a good group there that day.
Beer, Dinner and Beer immediately following. :D
