Cullion, UK champ 2012

[liokault]

I think Cullion has been keeping this quiet, but he is now 2012 UK open weight free style pushing hands Champ.


Now.....who wants to see the film?

[JingMerchant!]

I would.

[Eddie Hardon]

Yes, please.

[ChenPengFi]

While i'd love to see it, i'd hope he approves of you posting it.

[liokault]

He really doesn’t approve, which is kind of the point. Anyway, he made me promise not to put it up.

Hahahahaaa!
I guess you should have asked for forgiveness, rather than for permission or if there was interest!

Definitely put it up then.

It's not that exciting. Only 4 people in the open weight category, so I only had to win 2 matches. The first opponent was a noob, at least I think he was. I pushed him into the floor a lot.

The second one was against a chen style instructor in his late 50s. I didn't pull off anything fancy, I just shoved him out of the area a few times whilst he tried to pull off real techniques but found I was too heavy.

I don't think it's fair to my opponents to put video up in public of me beating them, because they don't get a chance to give their consent. Plus, there are several moments where my t-shirt rides up and from that angle, with that particular camera it creates the illusion that I'm a bit fat.

This might be an inappropriately noobish question but I'm curious about what pushing hands competitions entail. Is it a tai chi competition? Sounds cool.

[Cullion]

The rules are like sumo but we wear normal workout clothes instead of topknot + nappy.

Congratulations Cullion.

So now you're both smart and pushy. Good to know.

So? You competed and won..

Congrats.

All the more reason to post the video.

[liokault]

Imagine two fat non sporty type guys pushing each other, to the Benny Hill theme.....that’s the video right there.




But really, Cullion did much better this year than last time he went for it, he’s been training really hard and its really showing in both the improved level of skill and how much fitter he is now.

On Saturday I beat up a 77 year old man in a stickfighting tournament, and knocked him down with a push kick.
