Are you going to be posting any pics from the tournament on your website?

See any good Tanglang? You have a new school shirt, can you post a pic? Did you get to Mike Biggies school?

no, i didn't get to Mike's. He drove up to hang out for a bit.


Sifu Gino, yea, it was a hectic day. If those kids keep at it they are going to be hella good down the road. (not that they aren't now)

Those two teen boys are already great players. There were several adult males, including my guy, who walked off the mat with some shocked looks on their faces after being beaten by a 13 year old. I look forward to following those two guys progress over the years.

Gino My Compliments To You And Mr Ervin..it Was My First Attendance And Enjoyable. You Looked Busy Lugging Around Your Kid.
Oso, I Feel Bad For Not Introducing Myself Earlier But You Were Busy Watching Your Students Compete And I Didn't Want To Take Away From That. Also Forgive Me As I Was On A Clock And Had To Report Back Home As My Kitchen Pass Expired At 1300hrs And I Was In Hot H20 By Then. I Would Have Loved To Have Gone To Dinner With You And Talked Shop...next Year If You Attend Dinner Is On Me.
Jeng Shing Pings, Matt Gefland Was BESTED BY ERIC BROOKS TO TAKE 2ND PLACE LT HVYWT.
My Friend, Who Is Strong As An Ox, Placed 3RD In LT Heavy Weight. He Only Has Two Years Experience Being Trained By One Of Gm Chicoines Top Students.
All In All It Was A Great Time For All And Look Forward To Next Year.

Stonewarrior67 thanks fot the compliments, my teacher trys hard to make the tournament good for everyone.
As far as my children, Grace and Joseph are the next killers I will unleash. Just gimme a few more years. Grace is only 20 months but she is already in the class room and does push ups better than adults I know !

I'm glad you guys enjoyed. Hopefully next year the road construction will be gone.

cool, maybe next year. I want to do something again before then, maybe Shifu Rodger's event in October...but finances are tight. We are going to be in Charlotte on May 3rd for the CACMA event and Sylvia and Akeem will be fighting Lei Tai...we've got to add knees and elbows in over the next two weeks as well as the stinking headgear.

stonewarrior: that's cool, I know how it is. next time.

I've attached a group pic of the shuai chiao competitors for that day...pretty large group.
