Tournametns / Demonstrations
|
Well it's that time of year again where tournaments pick up in my area.
I will be competing in my first touranmeng for the 2008 season on August 16th, 2008. I had to limit competing in the Spring series, due to the fact I was seeing a Chriopractor for past hip issues, and found out that my right leg is 3/4 '' shorter than my left leg and was issued a wedge to wear in my right shoe. I had to train in shoes for a while when I had fractured my two little toes back in November of 2007. I since then have been weaning off wearing the shoes in class, but had to adjust to being barefoot again. I am now ready.
I hope to compete in Weapons and Forms, but am still unsure about Sparring, because of the contact, and still seeking monthly chiropractor adjustments.
Does anyone know of any sparring gear that will protect the back, especially near the shoulders? The traditional tkd style w/ the red / blue circle don't work. I would like to find something that would fit better under a uniform, rather than over, because I do not want something that points to what is a target.
Anyways...
Also September 23rd, 2008 my school is performing their first demo for a local home school association. I hope this will draw new members in.
I am still working on taking videos from my martial arts and get them onto the computer, and edited, to make a few videos. I am unsure if I have video editing software, as I have a laptop, with Windows Vista as the Operating System.
October 18th will mark the 3rd annual Shiloh Martial Arts Association touranment. This will be competition 3 for some of them, and 2 or 1 for the others. This is the first we had both spring and fall, rather than just a fall. I do not compete in these, as we do not have any black belts in our school yet, besides my instructor and me, and occasionally another one, but the rest that come to judge are past black belts and no longer active in training. It's fun to see how my students do against my instructor's school, all in a fun and fellowship.
Okies, that's it for now.
