I got three medals at The 17th CMAT Tournament at UC Berkeley

I competed in the 17th Annual Chinese Martial Arts Tournament at UC Berkeley on April 11th. I have to admit, I'm still relatively new to MA competition. There really weren't many competitors in the traditional wushu category though, so I managed to get three medals: a gold, a silver, and a bronze. If anything, this tournament was good practice for future competitions. Although I put on a good show, I won by default in most of those events because there weren't any competitors to challenge me. I'd really like to see TCMA competitions regain their popularity someday. Maybe Tiger Claw's Kung Fu Magazine.com Tournament on June 27 will help. I'm hoping I can compete in this. I sort of have to "regroup" due to various issues in my life right now and I'm just not sure I'll have the time to train up for that one.

The only picture of myself that I have from the whole thing is this one of me doing my spear set.

I'm trying to secure some videos that were taken by my some of my kung fu brothers. I think next time I'm going to wear a lighter color like blue or white. I'm starting to think the black is a little much.

I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area and I've lived here almost all of my life. I've been involved in the arts in one way or another since I was a child. My mother was a ballet teacher, so I grew up doing performing arts in one form or another. After receiving a Bachelor or Arts Degree in Theatre Arts from San Francisco State University, I moved to L.A. for a while looking around for some work. After deciding I liked 'The Bay' so much better, I moved back to San Francisco with plans on working on my own films and screenplays. I'm somewhat of a martial arts, action movie junkie and I'd eventually like to showcase some of my own talents.

I've been practicing Bak Siu Lum (Northern Shaolin) kung fu for six years now and other martial arts (Karate, 7 Star Mantis, Tai Chi) for something like 15 years. My most recent sifu of note was Wong Jack Man. He is a grandmaster of the Northern Arts and he shares his lineage with the great Kuo Yu Chang (Gu Renzang). He had a controversial fight with Bruce Lee back in 1964 which turned out to be a draw. Despite some disagreement over the outcome, this battle has always been seen as the "big event" that prompted Lee to invent Jeet Kune Do and proclaim Wing Chun to be "insufficient". Wong Sifu is a kind and honorable man who retired from teaching in 2005. Since then, Sifu Rick Wing has been my main teacher.
