    Well my friends, after slump in my Wushu career following the iranian wushu team days, I competed at This years annual chinese martial arts tournament in Berkeley, California. I was so proud and happy to be able to compete along side so many fellow athletes and friends in this well run tournament. I was even happier to successfully win gold in advanced male adult open hand, 4th place in advanced male broadsword (after cao yue in first place, then collin lee and dennis ta tied for 2nd and third). There was a slight disappointment in that we were heavily deducted in our sparring set because of our costumes so we won silver in that event, however the entire crowd was on our side and i believe that with Collin Lee and Kenny Leu's incredible performances we got gold. Unfortunately I wasnt able to compete in Staff because it was scheduled at the same time as sparring set.
    Here are the youtube video links:

    Still... the juding was unfair- choreographing three people with a really fast hand-to-hand set is harder than two, even if they had a cool b-twist. I like their set a lot, but yours had big flavor and originality, which wushu needs to pregress. Oh well- Kai is old and fat and angry- what can you do?

    Well, at least it was a memorable sparring set. Also not traditional is having the dual win against the single figher -- or having him smash Superman's head on the ground as a finishing move... or having Robin being taller than Superman and Batman... oh well, if you're going to break with tradition...
