    Hey! Will ask if any of Sifu Ly Yen Hoa's students want to go...I still say you should move to GR!!!

    Also Sifu Gino.... I am a traditional guy but due to lack of more traditional kung fu in my area and my need to keep in shape I have been training with a sifu of modern wushu. I saw one wushu guy there last year.

    Maybe we can due a seminar?

    What is your feeling on a self defense seminar or maybe Krav Maga???

    I would definately like some flyers!!!!!!!!!
    I can not guarrantee you will due well in traditional kung fu divisions if you do a modern wushu form. Some of the Judges are kinda old school. But some are more modern and may judge you by your skill level and not penalize for the wushu form you perform.

    If you would like to due a seminar please... you are welcome. Just have you or your Sifu call the tournament promotor John Ervin and talk with him about it.

    I would love to come and meet and greet as well as give a seminar.

    School is my life until I graduate in August.

    After that I will be an acupuncture and martial arts machine.

    Hence they hide rather than be known as adults.

    Good luck with school. After you graduate you are always welcome to come (I meant to give) a seminar. There probably always be another Great Lakes Tourney as well.

    ginosifu,
    Where did you purchase your shuai chiao top? I am looking to purchase one (or a few). I will be at the tournament with my sifu, Earthdragon. Thanks,
    Andrew
    To know others is to have knowledge. To know oneself is to be enlightened.

    Does laziness always win, or can it not be defeated?

    Have fun and good luck to all competitors and Richard hope the seminars you and Earthdragon give go well. Sorry I can't attend this year, family obligations.

    Friends,
    Here are links to photos from the Great Lakes Kung Fu Tournament and seminars:

    http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...549480&theater

    The first picture features Gino Belfiore (Ginosifu), Mike Haley (Earthdragon) and myself.

    The second picture features Shaolinrasta, Earthdragon and myself. Shaolinrasta has the thickest and longest dread locks I have ever seen. They almost touch the floor. He is a heck of a forms demonstrator and fighter. Earthdragon and I were privileged to judge the ring Shaolinrasta demonstrated and fought in.
