    KFMers and competition

    What have you all competed in? How did you do? What are the records?


    My record is:

    Submission Wrestling 0, 1

    I will fight sanshou on the 14th of this month and Submission tournament on the 28th. Let it all out KFMers.
    Bless you

    I would love to.

    The things that have stopped me so far:

    no time to get in shape... well I'm in shape-ish but not serious competition shape

    the lack of amateur comps with rules that I'm interested in (eg, elbows are a must)

    a number of very badly timed and some quite serious health problems

    my woman would beat the crap out of me if I competed!

    I'm 34 for a while. I will compete at some point.
    its safe to say that I train some martial arts. Im not that good really, but most people really suck, so I feel ok about that - Sunfist

    Good for you. It so happens we are different people. Much as I would like to test myself it is not a possibility anytime soon. As I said I will at some point. I have sparred as hard as anyone (though it's been a while)... and I don't feel a need to test myself, I would just like to. I have no reason to make excuses: my priorites are different.

    Submission wrestling 1-4
    San Shou 0-1 (I suffered a serious neck injury in the submission wrestling which curtailed my competitive San Shou career)
    Points and light continuous - too many bouts to possibly remember. 1 national title and a slew of silvers and bronzes.

    San Shou 34-3, one of the losses was because I competed with a seperated right shoulder that happened 2 days previous in training, the other 2, because on that day, that fighter was a better man than I

    I wussed out of a challenge match I started with Water Dragon a coupe of years ago, does that count?
    Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

    Tournament fights only:

    Wins Losses Draws

    Kyokushinkai: 22-9-3

    Daidojuku: 13-4-0

    Judo: 5-3-0


    I've got 5, 10 and 25 Man Kumites under my belt, as well, for what that's worth.
    SevenStar: It's hilarious seeing people's reactions when they see a big, black dude with a sword walking toward them.

    Masterkiller: Especially when they're at the ATM.

    WTF? How did we go from the White Haired Devil strangling and beating guys to death in a teahouse, to Mr Miyagi and Jhoon Rhee?

    I sure as hell can't remember my complete sub wrestling record; I've had too many matches and I drink too much.

    Since I've been competing in the advanced division, I took second in cruiserweight in Grappler's Quest Southeast in Virginia one year, losing by advantage to the guy who took first. Got injured and was out till the next year, when I lost in the first round by points to Mike Atkins, a guy literally twice my age. Competed in the absolute, won my first round by arm-triangle, and then got triangled into unconsciousness by Nolan Dutcher. Competed in the GQ Nationals after that and took third in cruiser, lost by points to the guy who took first.

    Been focusing on getting my teammates prepared for the MMA matches they've been competing in lately; I'll probably jump into a few amateur matches next year.

    I have no f'in clue.

    I was a regular on the GQ and NAGA circuits from 2000-2003, and hit up some local stuff besides.

    Some days, I would have six matches or more...

    At the Judo tournament in the vid clip thread, I had over 8 matches that day, until I got hit with a giant pick up that dislocated my shoulder.

    You tend to rack up a lot of matches that way. I was doing some cataloging and transfer of some of the tapes I have, and I have over 20 matches TRANSFERED, not just recorded that I haven't transfered, and the recorded matches aren't even close to half of the ones that I've done.

    Things have changed though. Match #s per tournament start to decrease significantly at the purple belt division and advanced/expert divisions, and as a brown belt, you may not even have an opponent at many tournaments.
