K-Star Competition

[Jiffy]

If you haven't heard of this, and you love martial arts, I suggest you take a look.

To put it really breifly, the K-Star Competition is a little like American Idol, but looking for Martial Artists to star in Martial Arts movies. Yesterday, the chinese group came to australia, so I quickly decided to travel the 800km to the venue and compete. This was an AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!!

The competition was very hard, but was an absoloute ball. The first round consisted of forms. The second round was acting/improvisation. The third round was forms and fighting.

Here in Aus, the competition was narrowed to 12 contestants who would then go through to the final. The final would leave 3 contestants that would then go on to train in the Shaolin Temple in china before competing for the ultimate prize.... a movie deal.

I made it through to the final 12. I was really happy with this!! (well, one pulled out, so it was the final 11)

It didn't however, make it to the final 3, but I'm still very happy with the result.

For some more information, have a look at some of these sites.

Sounds like a cool setup. Maybe we will start seeing the results of these in movies, eh?

Too bad it's just Kung Fu

It's not just kung-fu. That's just the name of the competition.

I don't do kung-fu and I got into the finals, so you could too.
