Jon,
Are the Full contact trials on the same day? Any IUTF people doing it?

Also lol at calling it an association. :rolleyes:

Unpossible

Hmmm, any martial art eh?

RealJohn

Are there colour belt sections or is it all the one?
I know a few of the colour belts in the club are interested but if it's primarily a black-belt competition, I don't need them going down there and getting their arses handed to them.

RealJohn

Anyone have any kind of timetable for this re: registration, seniors start time etc.
No reply to email so far.

yomchi

Sorry mate, I was just asked to post up the info. Im not up to speed on the actual details. It's unusual the email was not replied to yet.

RealJohn

Sound anyway. All worked out in the end. (though still no reply to my email)

Tim_Murphy

How did you get on John?

LAAngel

Hi How'd the fighters get on yesturday? If you go to the WKA website they have a schedule. The weigh in's are on the 4th Of November, the presidents, coachs and referee's meeting is on the 5th as well as the opening ceremonies. I think the fights start on the 6th but there is no schedule for these yet.:)

RealJohn

A disappointing 3rd in a category of 3 but more disappointingly, only one fight, and sharpness was my main reason for being there so one fight didn't do me a lot of good.

Lost to the same guy who beat me in the tkd intervarsities and we had a good close fight again which I thoroughly enjoyed but couldn't help feeling disappointed with myself going away.

And I was still offered a place for the worlds, which I'll probably take, for the craic.
