Martial Art Idea

[Min]

I have offered this idea to three different websites and one of them has gotten some intrest so I thought I might through it here to. I am still looking for help on tweaking these ideas and making them better before I go and react on impulse. But here is the basic idea, please contact me if you wish to help or have ideas to tweak it.

I've have thought of this idea to create an online MA (of all types) Tournament, but I need approval ratings and additional help to get this thing set up. If you are interested in hearing more, post questions about it here or message me at pheonixakabird@hotmail.com (That is both MSN and YIM.) If you are willing to help please message me as soon as possible so I can get down the ideas and perfect them.

Categories to look forward to if I have enough approval rating

MMA Sparring (Will explain later) (Maybe taken out for so far no support)
Empty Hand Poomse (Form)
Weapon Form
Dynamic Forms (Tricks and what not)
Creative Self-Defence
Breaking
More will be added later

(Best part about this tournament if it goes is that it will be 98% free (the only cost will be boards if you decide to do breaking because I do not feel like paying that for you.)

Would this be a forum in which people post videos and they are judged in competition with each other?

[Min]

Aye it would be a forum like that, all save the sparring of course, but that still needs modifications.

Sounds like a good deal to me then...

I'd definately like to hear more. This sounds like a good opportunity to see others' interpretations of things....only at their best. At a real tournament, you get one shot at one instance in time. By video, you can get your BEST take, so this would essentially be the best vs the best.

[Min]

Actually I hadn't even thought of that but that is a good point. Then you could truley see how someone bested you and you could breakdown the details that person used and if you liked them you could adopt them or if you didn't like them you could adapt them :P.

Cyber Martial Arts. I don't get it!
That makes at least two of us...

I'm still not sure what this idea is. Is the idea posting videos, etc. or some variant of role playing or what?

[Min]

Sorry for the long delay, been busy lately with the school. The tournament would be video posts. The spaarring, if kept in (most likely not due to heavy criticism) would be more of the roleplaying aspect.

So who does the judging?

[Min]

I'm still looking for a couple of people, preferably 5 people from different martial art backgrounds to help judge, I figure if we have the variety of judges it could make the judging more fair.
