This weekend at the Takai Mae Tournament we had a great time, all three western schools made it, although we really missed the Hidden Dojo clan from St. Louis. After driving 8 hrs in snow and rain we arrived in Albuquerque to kick butt and take some names, and...well, did just that. I am so proud of my little white belt tiger, Sebastian Richardson, he took home the gold, 1st place sparring, 3rd place forms. My bluebelt, Daniel Nooner took 4th in forms...(we know why, don't we Dan?)., and yours truely took 2nd in Executive forms and 3rd in Masters Weapons, ( I don't mind coming in 3rd to the two top weapons guys in the country, Ray Barrera, 5th best in the world and Bill Roy another world champion.)
From the Morino Valley Center in New Mexico,we had my instructor Sifu William C Roy taking the top prize of Grand Champion in forms and 1st place in Masters Forms and 2nd place in Masters weapon forms. Sifu Angel Roy took 2nd in forms.
From the Taos Chinese Boxing Center headed up by Sifu Colin Hubbard, who took 1st place in Fighting and forms, Alex Sobin 2nd que green belt took 1st in intermediate forms , 1st in intermediate weapons forms and 2nd in intermediate sparring. Matthew Nielsen took 1st in forms and 3rd in fighting...(only because he knocked out his opponant with a beautiful hook kick and was disqualified from that round). Josh Parken took 2nd in beginner forms and 3rd in beginner sparring. Nick Katz took 2nd in beginner sparring and 3rd in beginner forms. Roheen Despande took a 4th in beginner forms . All in all we left a wake of dispair and destruction, just as we should.
The 1st video is my sword form for 3rd place, then Bill's 2nd place form and last is the 1st place showing of Sensei Barrera.
