This is a great start, but Joe and I need to give you some "extra work" so you will be ready for varsity next year and are more competitive in the rest of your tournaments this year. I would like to have a Saturday combined kids and adult class from 12:30 to 3:30 where I go over some shortcuts that may help both you and Tyler out in your collegial wrestling, but that might also help Dave and Joe or even Wic's fighters in learning some slightly advanced techniques in takedowns and turnovers for submission bouts. I'm free in January on about every weekend, so we'll see who is interested and Joe can put it together. Ken

Leigh and I will bring taco salad and chips (even though chips are not a recognized food group).

pennhapkido: I accept your open challenge for knife fighting - I've already got at least 3 challenges for wrestling and 4 others for various sword events, but this should be fun. ken (Joe - I didn't put this in the tourney challenge forum category as I was replying directly. Hope you find it!)

Hey crazy green lane girl, stop by the school today or Tuesday night in the park for some more lessons and to see what we do. Try it you'll like it!

It turns out not only was this a bad hoax (it really was a gorilla suit from a costume shop stuffed with dirt!) but the guys who perpetrated it got a huge check from some magazine who were going to sponsor the "autopsy". They skipped town and never showed up when they started thawing the beast and cutting it in only to find nothing in side. Now, manbearpig is a different story........

hey oldcelt - I accept the takedown wrestling challenge. (stay on your diet!!! I don't know if I can lift you at 260 lbs!!) Ken

I accept the rematch on sword and shield einherjar, as well as the sword and shield with sirchuck and lilwolf.

I accept Joe's challenge for grappling. I would also like to challenge the following in the tournament: Rob and Dr. Zen in rapier and dagger; I challenge Joe in long sword and anyone who wants me in sword and shield! looking forward to a great tournament without ripping out my calf muscle this year.
