ZR440 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Big D, You have pics of the tournament yet? KSN Doug would probably get more done on the house if he would put his beer down for an hour. It's happy hour somewhere in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLopez Posted October 21, 2004 Author Share Posted October 21, 2004 Argh!! Sorry, haven't had time! Been helping out at the Dojang... See, in the office space next door to our Dojang, a Chinese food carryout is going in, and the construction people managed to break a water line and flooded into our space. We had to move a bunch of stuff around so we could pull back the carpet, remove the soaked padding, and then use wet vacs to pull as much water out of the carpet as we could... Waiting for the new padding to get put in, then the carpet will need to be steam cleaned. But all I have are some pics of my intructor sparring and doing his Inverted Sword form. I'm hoping someone got a pic or two of me when I was competing. We have a promotions and pot luck party tomorrow night, hopefully someone will have some pictures for copy. If nothing else, I'll have some "team" pictures of all of our competitors adorned with their medals, and some individual poses.

Dijita Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 That is awesome. I studied Kuk Sool Won years ago.. great style. Good luck at the worlds!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLopez Posted October 24, 2004 Author Share Posted October 24, 2004 Alrighty, I finally got off my derrier and posted some pics in the 'Photo Album' (use the link in the red bar at the top of this page). Got some vid caps of me scoring some points in the gold medal bout in sparring in the 'Action' category. There's also some pics of our tournament team and me with my Bling Bling hanging around my neck! Here's a link to my Yahoo Briefcase folder where I put an mpeg video that I made of the form (Dae Geup Hyung) I won the gold with: Gold Medal Form - Dae Geup Hyung For best viewing, right-click on the filename and choose 'Save Target As...' to download it to your machine. It is ~7 megabytes in size. That's all the pics I could get for now. I will try to edit up my sparring video to trim down the size. If it isn't too big, I'll put that into my Yahoo Briefcase too, and let y'all know in case you want to see it. DeanDahn Boh Nim - Black-Brown BeltKuk Sool Won"Dream as if you'll live forever.

Nilla Ice Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 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! Big Congrats, Dahn Bo NymAlso, 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. Thanks, but don't go giving me TOO credit. I only supplied a little knowledge here and there and ya'll did the rest. 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! Hey, easy on my 'Horns! I foresee PUSH-UPS in your very near future... Tuesday night sound good? KSN Tony Found Kuk Sool and stopped looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLopez Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 I ain't skeered o' no steenkin pushups! Actually, we haven't been doing them as much due to all the tournament practice! I was hopin' we'd get back into the hard-core workouts! I feel like I'm getting soft! Dang job... making me go out of town so much lately... forcing me to pig out at fine restaurants on the company expense and then hang out later on at the bars with our customers... it's killing my workouts!

ZR440 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 You kept your stance nice and low in Dae Geup, but I probably would have subtracted points for the open thumb in your Soo Do. Oh please, your customers are forcing you to stay out late? It's happy hour somewhere in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLopez Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Yeh, all the customers wanna do is party party party. Sucks. No, not really! So, caught me hitchhiking with my soo do, huh? Ya (sigh) its something I have to work on... hey, I need more practice! I also saw another goof on the video... Near the start, on the set of jong gwans to the right, my right hand doesn't quite make it down to my belt after a punch. Don't think the judges saw it. Minor little details, sure, but those are the differences between 1st place, and no medal at all. DeanDahn Boh Nim - Black-Brown BeltKuk Sool Won"Dream as if you'll live forever.

ZR440 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Oh yeah, I caught that. My instructor hammered me on that quite often. Congrats on the medals. It's happy hour somewhere in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinksw Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Great job at the tournament DBN! I wish I could have been there. I just finished learning Dae Geup Hyung and now I have a Gold Medal video to refer to! Sounds like you had a great time at the tournament - again, Good Job!
