mmm, i've heard timing is super important and also pretty restricted as to what you can do in tournaments, especially around here. it's super cool you took first in grappling!! we don't compete in that but it is part of the four ways of fighting of shaolin kempo that fred villari brought together. it would be fun to have a jiu-jitsu technique section though!
Oh nice! I compete in forms, weapons, sparring, breaking, and grappling. I hope you win this year! I have mostly only done twin state tournaments and it's been a lot of fun this year they added grappling and I took first. I think they are adding breaking this year, I have done it in a couple other tournaments but didn't place well because of my timing.
no, I prefer the in-state competitions lol, less driving involved! I do forms (patterns) and weapons and sometimes point sparring, but my dojo doesn't train in breaking so we don't compete for that, but we still win a couple grand champs every year! i've never gotten first in a multi-dojo tourney but I hope to this year!!
ooh nice! do you ever compete in tournaments? i started last year and I really enjoy it - but competing with the black belts is going to be so much different haha!
