Hi there
I am looking into arranging new tournaments for my organization here in Denmark. We have had fullcontact arnis tournaments, semi contact ManoMano tournaments, form / sayaw tournaments, knife and even DuloDulo tournaments.
But i would like to hear good advice from all of you in order to make more realistic "and fun" tournaments for my people.
(we have participated in many various FMA touraments in the world - including european and world championships in different assosiations)
I am planning to make tournaments with (maybe) 3 rounds (3 minutes each) and something like 1. round with one or two sticks, 2. round with any kind of FMA related weapon (knife, sword, patul, Bankaw, dulodulo or ??) and the last round empty handed using FMA empty hands concepts.
I hope you can help me with good ideas to everything from tournament rules (for this kind of triple fma fighting), weight classes or no classes?, protective gear or how do we minimalize it, what should the judges be looking for, and what should the fighters be getting from this - that they cannot get from any other kind of training / tournament.
Looking foreward to learn from you .... !
