Still haven't had time to put together a real comprehensive post on my trip, but to tide you all over here's a couple of videos of me at the tournament:

My match from the men's team randori event:

The freestyle kata I did with Ash:

I don't think there's any video of my individual randori match, or my koryu dai san suwari waza with Aaron from the kongodantaisen.

This isn't martial arts! I've seen Jackie Chan movies; you can't fool me! ;p

What was that item in your hands in the first video? In my head, your opponent kept saying, "don't tase me, bro!". :D

Yah, I'm curious about the stick as well. Does it represent a knife? Can you use it to "bop" the opponent on the head?

Yes to the knife, no to the bopping. You're only allowed to stab from belt to armpits, for safety reasons (the thing is foam rubber in a leather pouch, but it still hurts if you get it in the neck).

This is closer to Steven Seagal than Jackie Chan. :P
