My Shuai Chiao teacher is hosting a tournament near Chicago this October. It should certainly be entertaining.

I was thinking about giving the Lei Tai a try at this one....

I'll go if they have Tru-2-Form...

u guys need some real traditional rituals, like magical spells and sprinkling of the spirit water. and play some drums during wrestling.

[JamesC]

This needs to be a tradition:

It looks like it's the first one so anything can become a tradition once the foundation is laid :D

Was looking at the lei tai rules, mind if I note a few things

1) you can't kick the inside of the thigh?

2) you can't put wraps (CLOTH) between the fingers?

3) elbows and knees to the head are legal?

all this makes for a sort of strange event don't you think?

[bawang]

we need bare knuckle lei tai

BARE KNUCKLE

Ross,
I stepped out of organizing. These aren't the rules I would use. I prefer John Wang's set of rules. Anything else is a private conversation.

[lkfmdc]

don't freak man :D

I was just saying it's a bit of a strange format

[Mas Judt]

Not freaking, just trying to be nice to everyone who is doing the actual work.

[lkfmdc]

getting more and more interested in this event now :D

Could be I'd say the no inside thigh is because it is so close to the groin.

THe mandatory head gear with face mask is a little strange but they use smaller gloves.....who knows
