GA-NC Southest TD - Feb 2011

[Kintanon]

The Gong Sau viewing will be as free as possible, I dunno if there might be mat fees involved in general, but we won't be charging admission or anything.

Also, rumor has it that Brinn has agreed to come play at this one. So that will be fun.

[maofas]

Awesome, I'm looking forward to seeing his black belt Judo skills.

Whatever fees are for renting the ring, let us know. Assuming I can make it, I will be glad to help out.

I think mat fees were $10 last time for the TD.

Brinn and his guys will be welcome of course. Any time I get to train with a new partner/style I'm glad for the experience. Matter of fact I got to box with a Medieval Swordsman and Arnis practicioner this weekend. Didn't work out too well for him, but we both had a good time. His footwork was really interesting.

I'm still working on getting the ring rental set up. Problem is the bastiges aren't calling me back, not a good sign. We are hoping the overall cost for that won't be too far off of $100, it's only an hour after all and the guy said they didn't have anything scheduled that day he knew of when I talked to him. Spreading that out around a good number of folks should make this very easy.

[Southpaw]

You should check w/ Jason and Billy too as they have a ring.

[Whacker]

Word, I didn't know that. Will ask about it tonight.

[maofas]

Oh laud, just put a circle on the floor using tape and call it Sambo rules.

[Southpaw]

Haha. Seriously.

Do we need a ring? Can't we just raise both sides of the floor and do it Kumite style?

Or we all line the wall and do it "Gracie Challenge Style" with a grainy video?

Come on. Let's use our imaginations here. And besides, how much fun is a ring if it doesn't have a ring announcer to go w/ it?

[SifuJason]

We could go the original UFC proposed setup; sharks in water surrounding the fight area!

[Whacker]

Whoa whoa whoa, don't look at me here, this wasn't my idea to begin with. This is up to the two deathmatch contestants and/or the larger attending body.

4 guys with bungee cords = redneck boxing ring

Is there some rule about gong saus being held in a ring? Hell if we didn't have to pay for a ring rental we could get a giant bucket of hotwings instead.

Which sounds perfect to me. It'd be a hell of a lot easier and cheaper to not rent a ring (but it'd probably be more amusing with one). Either way, this need input from Josh and Matt before any more time is spent on this.

Edit - I've asked Josh to weigh in. Somebody please get Matt in here too.

[maofas]

I say, let's get two birds stoned at once and hold the fight in the giant bucket of hotwings.

[SifuJason]

We can easily do it at my place sans ring.

[Matt Phillips]

We decided a long time ago that it would be in a ring, and that is what I have been preparing for. It's Josh's challenge; send him the bill.
