Yes that's a no. :(

I asked around in January if anyone was going and it seemed that no one was, so I didn't bother saving up for it. Then suddenly a month a go or so everybody started saying they were going and then it was too late for me. :(

Oh well, I hope everyone has a great time. And posts lots of pictures and lets us know how it went. I know Seig is going to be doing a report for the martial talk magazine so I'll live vicariously through you all. ;)

Sounds like a trophy to me!
I qualified for a State Championship tournament last year because, well, old Brown Belts are rare competitors as well.

I won't be in the "automatic trophy" category once I make Black. I think I'll be "lumped" in with the seasoned master black belts. :eek:

I may or may not attend another tournament as a Brown Belt. But it is possible I could still be Brown next year long enough to qualify for State again as a Brown Belt. If so, they'd let me go even if I had made it to Black by the time of the tournament. They say that happens all the time.

I asked about this about 2years ago, I thought it might be an issue then... :rolleyes:

Good luck. And get some video. I think I have some video from my run, but none of my good fights. My 2 best fights I had no photographer. I lost them both, but they were good matches. :shrug:

There should be some competitors. It is the IKC, and international tournament... I would think there would be at least 5, but who knows.

I also want a few more flame patches and an IKC Trophy would be very nice as well.

I don't know how many trips that will take. I should go now while I'm a 20yr Brown Belt before I show up and have to fight 40yr old Black Belts... :eek:

I'll post here if I find a way to attend.

Yes, I just realized that this could be my last trip as a Brown Belt. I think I came in 6th place in 1997. I could do better this time, but the competition could also be tougher. Hard to say.

I will go if I can but I'm not optimistic. I will hook up with the IKKO Contingent though. I would likely be the only AKF person present if I do go.

I'll look into this more tonight. Thanks. :)

Seig,

Greetings sir from Pittsburgh! How are you? We look forward to seeing you and your students in Boston. There will be six of us from Pittsburgh traveling to the tournament. It is going to be an awesome weekend!

Hope all is well sir, and if I do not talk to you before hand, please have a safe trip to Boston!

Respectfully,
