heh. Good old Rick Allen. That is hardly the reason. As far as I know, he just doesn't care for them because a fighting in a tournament is a different animal than combat. I remember when I first joined his school I got a nice long lecture on how we didn't do sport shuai chiao.

He has participated in CMA events. Mostly events in Taiwan, like the big todo for the 10th anniversy of Chang's passing at the police college. And some tournament in Italy a couple years ago. I think its more of an issue with the fact that he's not the world's most social person. It took me almost 3 years before I had figured out if he liked me or just tolerated me because my uncle is his disciple.

If you can't get all the info together by friday, then just send me an email with a generalized idea that I can discuss with him.
