Thanks, Guys ! I got to meet Quincy Rice, Osaekomi, Daisan too. It was a lot of fun, and I managed not rip my back out of joint either.

No, I was in the process of moving from Louisiana to Idaho at the time, plus my back was really ripped up.
However, if you guys want to sponsor me to Japan for the event next year, I'd be happy to accept any donations !

Master's isn't too bad. The matches are only 3 minutes. Depending on the division you enter, it could be pretty tough, though. Mine next year will be a real tough one.

Hey Ben,
How serious are you thinking about the World Master's for 2003 in Japan? i.e. at the Kodokan?
I've had some passing thoughts, but even though i've had a blast training overseas (hard) these past few months, I think i gotta be realistic?!
My sched in about 2 weeks from now = I got a f/t job to go back to, a mortgage to get back to, a GF that's been bugging me about marriage!!!, and my p/t MBA school to finish (graduate April 2003).
Still ... the lure of competing at the Worlds ... hmmmmm. Sigh ...
Take care,
James

For me, it's mainly a financial consideration. I get plenty of training here. I'll have to wait an see how things are as the date gets closer. I know that several of my teammates want to go, and that my sensei has a lot of contacts over there for lodging. So I might be able to pull it off.
