By far one of the best, most attended and well put together tourney's in the tri -state area. I suggest you make your plans to come, compete and support.

[RonBlair]

Is there any video available from last year?

[David Jamieson]

ATTN: RonBlair - Remove your taunts from your sig lines towards another member here.

They are inflammatory and unacceptable even by the Ts&Cs of the site.

That is all.

Fine. Drake told me. Just don't ban me please, dictator.

Nice. real nice.

I don't care what excuses you have or insults you wanna throw.
I won't ban you, you'll ban yourself.

That's exactly what a guy says when he's beating his wife. "you're making me do it"

[EarthDragon]

I really don't get these guys wasting valuable training time talking crap on an Internet forum. I mean if horse stance is a waste of training time what is mouthboxing on the 'Net?

:) :) :) My Thoughts Exactly !

Just finished almost 3 hours of training

10AM to 11:45 Drilling and Shuai Chiao practice at my teachers school.

Short 15 minute drive to my school.

12:Noon to 1PM drilling and Sparring with my student.

I had no idea or part there of, RonBlair and his waste of time......

Everyone should drop what they are doing right now and give 50 finger tip push ups and 100 Belt Cracking drills then drop and give me your favorite form 10 times nice and hard!

The Chinese National Shuai Chiao team from Beijing has invited us to bring 2 teams to China this November for a SC Tourney. All SC fighters that come to my Great Lakes Kung Fu Tourney will have a chance to place on the U.S team.

Here is a chance for all you mouth boxers and arm chair quarterbacks to step up and see what you are made of. If you think that our tournament does not have any skilled fighters, then bring your ass here to Cleveland and show us what you got, instead of hiding behind your computer!

I think I might come out of retirement just go fight again in China.

[EarthDragon]

dont worry about me gentlmen, I train 6 days a week rest on sundays and teach 2 classes a day 3 times a week.
I was just pointing out to the admin about this particual members rude posts towards others.

[ginosifu]

For those who are doubters, I will be putting some vids up to share with you guys;

This one is in Beijing China 2006. Dr. Weng and I were doing some demonstrations for a television station. First Dr. Weng did Chang style Tai Chi, then I did Northern Shaolin Tun Da #6. Next was a friendly SC match for the TV cameras. The vid shows me against the local Shuai Chiao team captain.

Ginosifu, et al.


Thanks for hosting the Tourney this year.

It was a great time.

A better turn out than previous years.

[IronWeasel]

Hello Gino. How are things?

I meant to say 'Hi' at the tourney, but you were busy ref'ing.

I was just wondering: was it your group who put on the tournament in Medina, Oh thatusually ran in October?

I haven't seen that one advertised in a few years.

Thanks.

[ginosifu]

No that's Tony Yang's Tourney aka Warrior championship I believe. August 4, this year in Akron's JCC I think... ask Mooyingmantis.... he's got the info too.

Shifu Yang hosts the Hall of Fame Championship. It will be held at the same location as last year, the Shaw Jewish Community Center in Akron, Ohio.

The information can be found here:

http://www.wutangcenter.com/wt/2012tournamentinfo.htm

It is not as big (size-wise) as the Great Lakes Kung Fu Championships. However, Master Sun De Yao and dignitaries from China often show up for the Master's Demonstration. The demo is worth coming to see even if you and your students are not competing.

Also, Master Yang's disciples are true gentlemen and make everyone feel welcome. They are great representations of what martial artists should be.

Maybe they should post it on the calendar here.

[mooyingmantis]

Maybe they should post it on the calendar here.

Good idea! Maybe RAF will see this thread and do that.

Bump to the top. :)

Hey guys just letting anyone know this upcoming April 22nd I'll be there paying my dues helping out my kung fu brother John Ervin...I'll be doing some judging on the day of the tournament.
Also the follow day Sunday April 23rd(still to be listed) I'll be doing a work shop on 2 things:
(1) "Hung Gar Clinch" A couple of entries and set ups to a standing clinch & how to drill them. How to enter on your opponent & how to receive a person to make them empty. To me those are like having a good gun...if you have that, you can launch any bullet.
(2) Depending on attendees, My Taiji Push Hands tips: In 2015, my students won all events in Tai chi push hands (Fixed step and Free moving) and they had never competed before. That says allot about their instruction, I will teach some of my methods to help you achieve the same results.

*For those that know don't know me, I specialize in Hung Gar and Taiji and my past with san shou & MMA how I relate it back to traditional.

Bonus: I'll be arriving the night before, Friday April 21st (probably around 6pm 'ish) with a couple of my students. We'll be staying at the Hotel where many of the other competitors are staying. If people wanted to engage in some friendly push hands or touch hands down in the lobby during the evening or sometime that weekend I would not be opposed. ;D

Have a great time, Brother O! I would love a pic of you judging, holding up a score card that says '0.00'. That would make a great meme here - O scores it 0. :p
