no problem, look out for the 5th :)

NO offense intended, but why don't TCMA events do full contact anymore? NACMAF had lei tai/sanshou/san da.....

I'd like to hang out with some of the old TCMA crowd, but since all we do is fighitng now, no point if there is't competition....

You could rent a boxing ring, and probably also add INCOME to your event

Bodhitree: Great idea! i would also like to attend this event myself. If you could mail some fliers to us, we would be happy to put them out at our event and help advertise your event.:)


Dave, maybe your question or subject would be better suited for another thread since this thread is obviously just an announcement/invitation. :D

respectfully
