Hitting someone hard enough to move them or knock them down is what
our WTF style is all about. But like I said, I'm not wanting us to
compete, but if anybody wants to go watch just let me know.

And don't forget the tournament at Bonnabel High School on Jan 26th.
I'd like us to go watch that and support Justin as he receives his
State award.

We will train with the Pyung Soo Doo school at the JCC Thursday. I'll
be there for 5:00, try to get there as early as you can. Wear full
uniforms and bring your pads.

Justin is going to be receiving his State Championship awards from 2007
on January 26th at Bonnabel High gym. There's also going to be a
tournament that day. Justin won't be competing because of doctor's
orders, but let's plan to attend to congratulate him and to enjoy
watching some top atheletes compete.

There are several AAU Qualifiers in Texas every year. last year Shannon
competed in two; one in Houston and one in Dallas. These are the ones
announced so far:

March 8 Region 9 Quailifier in Houston, TX

April 26 West Texas Quailifier in Lubbock, TX

May 10 Southwestern Texas District Quailifier in McKinney (Dallas), TX


Last year there were two in Houston. It looks like one of them hasn't
been posted yet.  We've never been to the one in Lubbock, but I
included it here just to complete the list of quailifiers in Texas.
There are also some in Florida and other near by states.

A very Merry Christmas to all, and a great New Year!

If you can make class tonight we will be at the JCC with leon's school.
I'll be there at 5:00. They have a 5:00 and a 6:00 class.

This Thursday (Dec 6) we will get back to our regular class schedule.
Ross will be instructing and going over forms, 1 step sparring,
sparring combinations, and 1 step self-defense requirments.

Shannon is competing in the Moon College Girls Tournament this Saturday
at Moon College; 3406 Jurgens St. It starts right after their belt
test. I'm thinking the tournament will beging around noon. I'd like to
encourage all to attend and support Shannon in the tournament.

At 5:00 I do a normal WTF style TKD class, similiar to what we do but
at a beginner to intermediate level. At the end of class all their
students get to spar us.

Then at 6:00 we sit in on their class which is an Open Palm style.
Hey do a lot of arm, hand and fist techniques. It's like a Karate,
Hapkido, Judo mix. There's kicking, punching, grabbing, sweeping.

encouraged. Then we will attend their 5:45 class. Please try to be on
time, and in uniform.

Due to the big dance this Saturday night, we will not have class on
Sunday.

If anybody can attend, Justin will be competing in a Karate tournament

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Check today's paper (Metro section) for the press release with your
photo from the Moon College tournament. Also, congrats to Nicole for
making the Beta Honor Roll at Dominican!

This Sunday our friend Justin will join us again at trainning. He is
competing in a Karate tournament next weekend. We will focus on point
sparring to help him practice. So bring your point sparring pads (boots
and gloves).

Don't over eat and get sick today, but enjoy!
Greg

We didn't place in forms. You never know what the judges are looking
for so we have to worek on fine tuning the basics and adding more power
to our forms.

Nicole won a bronze medal in sparring and leon won a gold medal in his
sparring division. Congrats to all!

I'm posting photos in our PHOTOS album.

No class on Sunday Nov 11th. See y'all Thursday.

The Moon College tournament is only 4 days away! I am available every
night this week to provide you additional practice / training. Call me
on my cell phone to make arrangements.

Also, everyone is invited to my house Saturday morning for a pancake
breakfast before the tournament. You should be at my house by 8:00AM.

I would like us to go as a group to the tournament and wearing a team T-
shirt. I've made an iron on transfer with out logo. You just need to
swing by K-Mart and pick up an ash (light grey) color T-shirt. Wash it
first to allow shrinkage, then apply the iron-on I will give you. It
goes on the left breast, over your heart. It really looks cool!

I also have someone who can make our logo into a patch. I'm trying to
get the cost below $10 per patch right now.

Yes. Additional training would be good, especially because I have to
miss again next Sunday because I am going up to ULM for a tlhing there.

Be sure to click on LINKS on the left of your screen and check out The
Black Ghost link. This was Ross and mine auditions to be stunt doubles
for the film production of this company.

If anyone is available for additional training please contact me. I am
available every night. The Moon College tournament is only 2 weeks
away, Nov 10th. Our sparring is coming along but we need to work on
forms. Call me on my cell or email me.
Greg

Divisions are supposed to be divided by age, rank, weight. Since
local tournaments don't draw a lot of people (average 200 total, all
ages and ranks) divisions are usually combined to form one division.

Age divisions are 5 and under; 6 - 7; 8 - 9;  10 - 11; 12 - 13; 14-
17; 18-34; 35 and up.

Combined ranks would be two consecutive ranks; ie: green & blue,  or
blue and purple. For black belt sparring rank is not considered.

Tournament directors try the best they can to keep the same ranks in
all the forms divisions so that everyone is doing the same form.
Weight isn't usually a consideration for forms.  However, if it's
an "open" tournament then different styles will have different forms.

For sparring, an age group will be called to the staging area. I'm
seeing more local tournaments call just one age at a time and not
putting two ages in the same division. Once the division is in the
staging area they are seperated by size as best as can be done. Rank
is only considered for color belts.

As far as sparring rules, this is a general summary:

1 point for punch or kick to any where on the chest protector.

2 points for a kick to the facial area (from the ears forward. Not
the back of the head).

If the punch or kick causes the opponent to be given an 8-count, an
additional 1 point is awarded to the attacker.

There are also warnings and penalties that cause a player to lose
points. I have all the WTF rules posted in a document. Click on the
FILES link.

Don't forget, tonight we are doing a joint training with the Open Palm
club at the Metairie JCC on West Esplanade Ave. I'll be there to start
their 5:00 class. You all should try to get there as soon as you can.

Wear your full uniform.

We are invited to a joint training with the Pyung Soo Do Martial Arts
scholl at the JCC on West Esplanade this coming Thursday, October
18th.  If school exams cause a conflict we can reschedule till the
following week. This is a great oppertunity to work out with and spar
with some different people before the Moon College Nov 10th tournament.

We were invited to join the Open Palm Martial Arts school over at the
JCC on Tuesday night as they welcome some U.S. Marines to train with
them. These guys were featured on that series Human Weapon that plays
on Friday Nights. Just show up after 5:30. I think they'll be there
most of the evening.

I'm starting to add Links to Forms Competition videos. Check them out.
This is how they are to be done, with crisp, shape techniques, and
power.

Last night I spoke to the instructor at the Pyung Soo Do Martial Arts
school at JCC (the gym where we trained over the summer). We discussed
having a joint trainning session one Thursday night. We would train his
students on Tae Kwon Do techniques and they would show us some Open
Palm self-defense techniques. If this is a successful expierence we
might consider making this a monthly event.
