Yup , thirty seconds then *bonk* and a foot to the side of the head (MEDIC ring #1, MEDIC to ring #1) and then an hour of "I don't know what happened..."
AAU Taekwondo weight limits end at 180 lbs, so heavyweight was 180 and Up. The parent organization, the World Taekwondo Federation added a super heavyweight division this year for fighters over 200lbs, and they've revamped all the weight classes. We almost got bumped out of the Olympics so the parent org is looking for ways to make Olympic Taekwondo more appealing; stuff like a five second shot clock, smaller ring areas, scoring multipliers based on the difficulty of the technique IE: a round house to the head is 2 points, a 540 roundhouse or a jump spinning hook kick would be 3 or maybe 4 points. It's a interesting time for us... Scott A. Stewart, Web Application Developer Engineering Consulting Services, Ltd.

Not eating does nothing but burn up muscle! That sucks! I would love to go up against some dude that hasn't eaten in a week or two... chances are they have about 30 seconds of burst energy before they catch a couple to the side of the head.

LOL. What is the weight range for heavyweight? I'd like to drop down to about 10% body fat and still be 210 lbs. Someday... I give in to sweets too much... grrr :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:165532 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
