DLopez Posted October 10, 2004 Author Share Posted October 10, 2004 Thanks for the well wishes Kicks! They came in handy! Things couldn't have worked out better... literally! I medalled in each event I entered, taking 1st place in all four! I am so excited, but I am too exhausted to do anything about it! Also, for the 2nd year in a row, our school, Kuk Sool Won of Katy, Texas, placed in the Top 10 Points competition. What can I say, our instructor had us well prepared. I am so drained, I need a hot soak in the tub! Lessee... the Astros won, the longhorns lost to OU, and I won 4 gold medals today... It's been a great day!

ZR440 Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Good to hear, D. Was there any Masters demos? Who was there? It's happy hour somewhere in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLopez Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 Yep! It looked like all of them were there!! Master Son Jin Suh performed his (can't remember what it's called) rapid fire hand strikes form, then later demonstrated how to use those strikes against an attacker. Master Sims performed Baek Pahl Ki Hyung, making it look sooooooo easy. I don't remember all their names, but one of the Masters from Austin did some sword cutting demos, rope restraint techniques, walking cane techniques, and some cool board breaking action! There was also a very entertaining performance of "contemporary" martial arts, where some students and instructors put together some techniques choreographed to music (Chariots of Fire), only the techniques were performed in ultra-slow motion! It was great! It's always impressive to see the forms and techniques, and even the weapons performed by the masters! DeanDahn Boh Nim - Black-Brown BeltKuk Sool Won"Dream as if you'll live forever.

SBN Doug Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Well done. While I had every intent to be there (it was going to count toward one of my 3rd degree tests), it was not to be. Breaking down walls in the new house, shopping for new furniture (including a big screen) ate into every waking moment. I just hope KJN is not too upsset at me.

Kicks Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Dean, got photos? We'd like to see. when you create the world's largest trailer park, you're going to have tornadoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLopez Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 I got some photos of several of my classmates competing, but none of me. My son was videoing several of my competitions, but with a friend's camcorder, so I need to arrange to get a copy of the video. I'll see what I can get together and post them on the Photo Album.
