[samurai999]

Everybody here on this thread is SoCal! If so, I'm gonna be the "troll" from the North.

Last time we played up here, one of our guys won the 5dan and up. I think Danny Yang won the 1-4dan. Even if I were healthy for this tourney, I would be whooped :D..

I'll be there, but only for court duty. :( Man, I wanna play bad..

Tim

[Inouye02]

so what ails you samurai999, nothing serious we hope , well anyways hope to see you up there ..

till then
Jamie

[m_french]

Samurai999, aka Kono-san what's up?? I guess it's time to heat up the banter, you know last year I would of been rooting for the N but now that I live on the sunny side of Cal I gotta say that My kendo hommies here are gonna give it all they got. I've been smacked by al;l the guys on this post and all I can say is DAAAMMMMNNN!:beard:

[Inouye02]

can you smell l l l l l l l what the rock is cooking ..

[kendokamax]

i dont know ..but it smells

[William Honda]

Kendokamax,

Does it smell like “It’s nice to be able to talk about local things on a forum too...”

Your quote from the U of T tournament thread.

I did not see a single snide comment from anyone who is not familiar with U of T tourney, yet you rain on “our” party.

William

[kendokamax]

boo

it was just a boring joke, take it easy

[stevemcgee99]

Does anyone know of vendors going to NS?

[Inouye02]

i'm sure Eguchi Bogu will be there , and E-Bogu also

[Inouye02]

kendomax are you just trying to up your post count ,

plonk ...ahahahaha

[misterkurukuru]

hmmmm Maybe i will have to use my super slide and migi te yokomen! All i know is that the northern guys are not bringing it!!!! whats up?? i guess they dont care about use going in and stomping them at home!

[Inouye02]

what !! no fumikome kurukuru ?

[samurai999]

Hey French! Whats up? You're at Venice now or was it Costa Mesa? Anyways, I'd be competing if it wasn't for my completely ruptured Achilles. I'm out of taikais for the year most definitely. I'm trying for my 2dan shinsa in Nov but that is being a little optimistic. Not sure if 6 months of rehab and 3 extra months are enough. I can always test next year in May.

Misterkukuru. I guess you are the resident smack talker here. :D Remember that the North went into YOUR house last year in Torrance and took the team title in both mens and womens!

Tim

[M.K. Kawai]

Looks like the North/South rivalry is heating up a couple weeks early. :bandit:

Any friendly bets on which side will come out on top?

Being from So. Cal, I'm going to say that when all the dust settles and the trophys counted we are going to edge out No. Cal. by a nose.:cool:

Yes, it's region pride... so how many of you are willing to show some pride on your side!:D

Let the bets roll...

MKK

[Inouye02]

inouye2 first in shodan-nidan group!!!!!

[misterkurukuru]

Last north south they picked a sucker team! i dont know why SCKF always puts cheap guys on the north south team. Ughh just like in Canada...mostly cheap guys on the team, so of course North cali kicks our @ss! we dont even put our best guys out there, we never do..it just sucks for everybody!

[Inouye02]

just a few more days to go , before the sckf invades the north,
will misterkurukuru prevail ? or will it be mr tenken ? how about mr honda ? we'll just have to wait and see

[M.K. Kawai]

I'll put my bet on Mr. Kurukuru. :D

MKK

[misterkurukuru]

two more days till mr.kurukuru goes up north to lay the smack down on some candy @$$ punks!Will he win??? i dont know?? but he will punish fools! gaahahahaha the beast will eat your heart! and he will bust the kin niku no bakuhatsu! just like kin ne kun!!!!!take that kamen riders and gao rangers!

[Inouye02]

i heard mr ikuiku will be joining you also kurukuru, watch out for the migi kote & yokomen ..but i'll be supersliding my way to victory ...

[samurai999]

Kurukuru, we didn't have all of our best guys on the team either. Goya on the South team looked really good that day.

But, all in all good luck to all of yaz.. I won't be playing.. Damn.. I've got the itch.. :D

[William Honda]

To the North,

Thank you for all your hard work on the North- South tournament. I thought it ran well and I had a good time.

To my friends, I appreciated all the cheering and backing I received during my shiai. That made it really fun.

Rei,

William

[misterkurukuru]

The tournament was fun and well run. Mr.kurukuru laid the smack down the first few rounds, but got toasted by the little people basher! damm three dwarfs in a row? who knew? congrats to tenken...even though he had the easy side!!!!!! and BOOOOOOO to the judges for the team tournament!!!! Yang had atleast three points, Okada had atleast two, and there was no wakare being called by the head judge in chinens match!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOO thats what happenes when you do the 6 dan and up team at the same time as the 5 dan and under! you leave the shiai in the hands of old men that cant judge!

[M.K. Kawai]

Had a great time at the North South Tournament. And I did see the some Kurukuru smackdown... Ouch!:eek:

Glad I wasn't on his side of the bracket:D

How about that nito from Park sensei from Cypress.... impressive!

Hey Inouye, looks like your pick Tenken won! Too bad there's no trophy for it:( Maybe I'll buy you a beer! ;)

My thanks to the people up North for holding this tourney. Hope to see you all there next year.

MKK

[Inouye02]

To the NCKF, had lots of fun at the tournament, They did a awesome job of running it ..

Congrats to tenken...most memorable match was against Ching from Sac..

mrkurukuru was robbed in his match, but thats a story for the judges who cant judge thread, we did see some some kurukuru waza, awesome !!

mr honda , ur welcome , but thank you for the ride we had a good time watching you , also to m-french awesome job ..

[Inouye02]

as for me , i want to appologise to everyone for my performance , brought out the nito ryu for the 1st time , busted some good do hits , but no zanshin afterwards..really nervous , then lost by ippon from hansoku,

thanks to Arnold Matsuda Sensei from san jose , for his comments , i will practice harder!!

anyways looking forward to next year !!

[William Honda]

INOUYE2

No apologies necessary. A couple things are clear. You were obviously very nervous and once the zanshin is worked out, your do will be something to contend with. C-R-A-A-A-A-A-A-C-K!!! Like thunder.

Breaking out the Nito for the first time, I would imagine it is to be expected.

And thank you for arranging the ride and doing the most of the driving.

M. French, I’m bummed we had to fight. We had a nice long match though. I would much prefer we are in different brackets and hopefully meet much later in the tournament.

"you leave the shiai in the hands of old men that cant judge!"

Hey, as an 'old guy' I take offense. Why must all the lousy judges be 'old'?

[Inouye02]

old warrior dont take offense to the remark , its just that there were some " older " judges there that made some really bad calls or didnt make any calls ..

example , during the finals in the 3-4 dan semi finals match , opponent A steps out of bounds, the shimpan is no more then 3ft away , he didnt make the call , the other shimpan 15ft away does ? this shimpan was at least 70 yrs old ..i'm sure you and everyone else knows this can make a difference in winning and losing ...

[Old Warrior]

My definition of old is: 10 years older than you happen to be at any moment in time. Given that definition - 70 is even old to me.

And, while it's true my vision is lousy, when my glasses fog up under the men, I can hardly see who's in front of me, let alone where kote ends and forearm begins. So I guess, I'm still an old guy. Anybody want to sell some youth?

[M.K. Kawai]

Hey Inouye,

At least you got to get that first nito bout under your belt and now you know what it feels like to use in a tournament.

Thanks for the ride to and fro to the North South Tourney:D

I was too busy trying to see everyone who came up with us that I didn't have much time to really look at the judges. Besides, by the time 4-5 o'clock came rolling around I was already zoning... must be that hangover from the party the night before:rolleyes: Hahahahaha.

Peace...

MKK

[Inouye02]

party ? we didnt party ..but that cranberry juice sure tasted different ..lol

[M.K. Kawai]

I think that was a special juice from Cape Codder;)

Haha.. Somebody on this board went up against big daddy Ching? Really friendly (and hillarious) person off the court. On the court.. Well.. Better brace yourself! :D

I was the dude managing Court C wearing the red hooded sweatshirt. Nice meeting all of you! Nice seeing you again French.

Tim

[Inouye02]

ahhh but tim , tenken beat him , yeah we saw what he does on the court , knocks someone who is 4'8' tall to the ground then hits their men ..ouch !

but nice meeting you , see you next year

[m_french]

To all from North and South...... What a great time @ the Tourney.
Ya, william it was too bad we had to meet so early, sorry if i tired you out for the next round but you were tuff. My head is still ringing fronm that Men you cracked down on me...or is that the sound of Inouye and Kawai laughing in the background??? Hey Tim it was good seeing you and all my other Kendo amigos from up North, but what was with that flop ching took on tenken???As for you Inouye-san it takes cahones to try something new in a public forum and I heard those do's crack like thunder, it's only a matter of time until you'll be out there doin' the dip like Kurukuru.
to all up North you put together quite the all star team but we have youth on our side so see ya next year and thanx for the tourney.
