lucifersdad Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 i think just about everything was covered except one problem,you said your taking your kids, so:gameboy or such type thingypillow (they are seriously long days)and a baby sitter (becouse we all need a little solitude before we compete)ive been taking kids to tournaments for years and the hardest part is keeping them entertained after that competeing is a piece of cake!! sticks and stones may break my bones, but i am trained to kill you.

Hawkeye Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Make sure that you have some extra batteries for the Gameboy(s). It would be pretty distracting to hear their cries of anguish when the darn things quit in the middle of their "best game ever" when you are in the middle of your match or kata. Oh, and label their stuff. Things get put down in the weirdest places. Every timely action will bring results ... Without difficulty. Every untimely endeavor will fail ...

aefibird Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Oh, and label their stuff. Things get put down in the weirdest places.That's a good thing for adults to do too. At bigger tourneys stuff can sometimes end up in all sorts of wierd places. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."

cleung Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Maybe a video camera so the kids can see themselves after they perform or fight. It's a great learning tool.
