Nice job. His kung fu training shows in his movements. Not the typical sloppy brawling you see on Youtube.

thanks N. i try to keep them using choy lee fut hands, just like my sifu did with us. i know some of our techniques look like boxing when we're wearing gloves but train around that.

thanks again bro

thanks again bro

The CLF hands were clear. The footwork and takedowns showed the traditional foundation. His eyes were steady. Good to see real TCMA.

I enjoyed that. He's a natural, good movement, timing and kept a good base. Last fight was solid, someone more on his level physically.

thanks. the cool thing about it, he only trained with me for two days to get ready for this fight. since this was his first time fighting in competition, i expected him to lose because he is really a Mr. Nice Guy. and i was shocked when he said he wanted to fight INTERMEDIATE. i didn't think he was ready. but i make them spar for long long rounds to condition them. he also puts in a lot of time sparring various people while he's away at college.

with the next San Da competition, we're gonna put some serious training in and hopefully take home the gold next time.

i'm gonna put up some better footage....sorry for the remake but the footage is way better

Congratulation Sifu Frank! Very nice!

thank u :D:D:D

[GoldenBrain]

Ya, very nice. Congratulations! It feels pretty good when your students do well.

Oh, and I believe TaichiMantis is a sheila not a bro, which is awesome because there aren't enough ladies frequenting these forums.

Keep up the great work!

i truly appreciate it. i never run around thinking im the best teacher and am always hoping i'm doing the right thing. then i see my students fight and use what i taught them, it does makes me feel good. the nicest thing i've heard from them is that i'm the best teacher they'd ever had. that right there...yeah...that feels good.

oh, and Taichimantis.......my bad. i had no idea you are da lady.....you know what i studied something called Tai Mantis shortly after my moms died. teacher's name was kenny. is this the same as your name?
