Scott ran a great tournament. Norm and Jaret fought an amazing see-saw battle in the no-gi final. Rowan showed a ton of cool moves and T.J. looked tough. Colin's attacks are relentless. Nick has been training how long?
Anyone have footage they want hosted? We'll have some online tomorrow but we didn't get every match.
Looking forward to the next one,
Patrick

Congrats Rowan.
Congrats to everyone, sounds like a tourney to build on.
thanks rowan for assisting me in getting my referring skills somewhat in order. the tournament was an excellent showing of sportsmanship by all competitors. i don't think there was one boring matcht the entire day. thanks to all who attended, i look forward to the next one.
I've got some highlights up at www.abhaya.ca of our guys. If anyone has footage they want hosted, e-mail me (info@abhaya.ca).

Rowan and Patrick, that's an awesome highlight reel on your sight. I didn't realise how good that cartwheel guardpass looked until I saw the video.
that is a cool highlight reel for sure. who is the band?
The band is called Norm and the Sunshine Girls, look out for their new hit coming at the end of the summer, titled "Pizza is Good".
p.s. anybody have the tournament on video/cd?
Caught in Thought is a blues/rock band that plays all over Southern Ontario. Their live performances are amazing.
Norm, I wish I had more of your matches on tape but our batteries were running low. Next time we'll be ready to tape every match and put them all online.
lol @ "pizza is good"! You fought awesome Norm. If you were interested in doing the invitational tournaments in Ontario, I'll put in a good word for you.
Yea, that sounds like a good time. If you could let me know any of the details, that would be great.
fedor's nut flea? i like your name, i'll let you know when i am having
nut flea auditions. btw who are you?
Great Job Rowan!
I would love to see some video.
