Tournaments and Seminars

[KickChick]

Actually it is a toss up for me.

 

Honestly I would compete more if there were more competitors in my division. My experience due to this has been less than challenging..... and honestly I am not the competitive sort as far as sparring but love to "showoff" with performing forms and breaking.

 

Atlantic City tournaments are the best (get to have the daylights beaten out of you plus get to socialize afterwards )

 

There is a NY tournament I plan on trying to get to in June only due to the fact that Cynthia Rothrock, Vincent Lyn, Richard Norton, and Don 'the dragon' Wilson will be appearing there.

 

As far as seminars ....if more were available in my area I jump at the chance. I recently went to a kubotan tactics and confined area survival training seminar.

 

So both lend themselves to expanding your ma experience.

You mean the Atlantic City NJ, right? I was at the one in the Tropicana Casino (sp?) in 2001. I forget the date, but it was in August. My school was there, so I went to cheer them on. Anyways, did you go to that one?

 

Sorry, I little off topic. Just wondering

I think that tournaments is where a martial artist can show exactly how good they are...yes learning more is always good but to me i learn to fight..where else can you fight someone you dont know besides on the streets where we are taught not to...even if i do lose in a tournament. witch i wont..i enjoy that just as much as winning because i learn...........
