Ever won a tournament?

Have you ever won a tournament?
If so, what was it, and what did you win?

[yoda1]

unfortunately, i haven't won any tournaments, but i like competing... ive learned quite a bit from doing competitions and seeing so many styles of the same discipline

i dont compete so much anymore though, its hard to find the time

Well, I have here by decided to boycott tournaments. But I have been in...5 tournaments. I think I started at blue-stripe and stopped at black-stripe. Anyways, I have entered both of the WTF events, poomse(patterns) and sparring in each of them. I have one double gold at each tournament, so that's 10 gold medals in all, and I stand undefeated.

You're going well then mmmariap!
What exactly do you compete in? (what form of martial arts)

[mmmariap]

In case I haven't made it clear in all of my other posts :P, I do WTF Tae Kwon Do.

Wow, you must be pretty handy at TKD.
Its a martial art that I have often contempled learning, but I here that you need imense flexability, is that right ?
Oh, and congrats on all the wins

[mmmariap]

You don't need a huge amount of flexibility, until your a black belt and at least 15 (i think), you LOOSE points if you kick people in the head, or you're disqualified. So if your not very flexible you should be okay, and I mean your flexibility should improve over the years that it should take to get your black belt. It took me about 4 years to get my black belt, but i guess i was pretty flexible to begin with, but by going to class pretty much everyday and in consequence stretching each time it really helps. Personnally I would recommend (WTF) TKD.

Now im no expert, but generaly WTF means what the **** so... um, what does it mean when applied to TKD ?

[Farhad Ali]

TKD is weak, Ia myself have beaten six TKD black belts in one competition. They were no match for AFK fighting system

I myself have never won a tournament but then again I've never competed when I was really 'ready'. I practice Ninjutsu so I have a wide variety of techniques but most aren't useful in a tournament. I might have done well if I solely practiced Taijutsu but I worked with blades and such too since I wanted to learn as many parts of Ninjustsu as I could.
