Soon you can see the article about our trip like "How to get second place without loosing..." or "What is +1 and how it is change situation..." and much more funny things. During the weeks we put in internet more videoclips from championship and a lot of good photo!

looks like another gold for you?

M-m-m...looks like :). Do you like the last "point"?

what did Alex have to say about you using "knee seizing"?

i used a bit of that myself in my last fight, but i was afraid that the Sifu wasn't going to be very happy about it, since it might seem too much like "grappling".

your very first point in that match was BEAUTIFUL! very nice frontal throw. looked effortless.

My Sifu laughed about my "last action". It was no need to do it, but it was allowed by rules, so I decided to do some funny. :) The second match I does the same action for fun, or for me it was no different doing FREE moving or just moving...

:clapping: :D
