Has anyone here competed in this tourney? How large is it? How long does it usually last (one day, two)?

This was a fantastic event until the CA state athletic commission determined that san shou/ san da was illegal
since then, it has suffered a lot, obviously
What!? Dayum!
In what ways has it changed simce the beaurocratic meddling?

For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
Master of Shaolin I-Ching Bu Ti, GunGoPow and I Hung Wei Lo styles.
I am seeking sparring partner. Any level. Looking for blondes or redhead. 5'2" to 5'9". Between 115-135 weight class. Females between 17-30 only need apply. Will extensively work on grappling.
I should note that the "ban" isn't about San Shou / San Da or Chinese martial arts
Apparenlty, in the 70's or maybe 80's the state put into it's codes parts of the old PKA american style kickboxing rules. The rules used to state "no throws in kickboxing"..... ergo, no san shou
with MMA so huge, there isn't much interest in changing the laws, so we're sort of stuck
So, what has happened to the "Born to Fight" tourney as a result? Is it just kickboxing now, with no throws?

So, what happened to the "Born to Fight" tourney? In what way has it changed? Does anyone actually know or do you all just think that it must have been altered without really having any facts about it? I really would like to know, if anyone has the answer.
