Cool I’ll be going as a spectator as well, I hope to see you there Sir Wolf! Maybe we can sit together and cheer our fellow forumites on…Although I don’t think we’ll have enough people to do the wave.  :D

I'll need all the cheering I can get. I'm pretty out of shape now. :) Still, I don't play to win. I play to practice and improve, and have fun.

You should find time to work with David and Tim. They're competing, and they've been practicing quite a bit. Not just bouting, but working on specific actions that will probably come up in the tournament, and working on conditioning as well. I'll bet they'd come on any extra days, including the weekend, if you talked to them about it.

I'm going to attempt to make it out saturday or sunday as spectator, but it's ~90 minutes one way from my house, so 9am isn't likely. :o

I doubt I can even be a spectator...unless its free, then I probably can do that.  lol

It's $5 for spectators ... if you can get there, I'll cover you.

That sounds great, though I don't know how much time I'll have between now and then. It's coming up pretty fast.

As long as I don't make a fool of myself, I'll be happy. :)

Thanks Sir James, I'm much obliged...when's it occurring?  If I'm in town, I'd love to drop by and see what you guys are up to.  Plus, always good to meet brother Knights when one can.

I'll be shooting to attend on Saturday, so that I can rest a bit on Sunday. The 3 hour round trip drive may be a bit coma-inducing, since my round-trip commute is 2 hours on a good day with no traffic (approx 100 miles). I'll post if I am unable to make it Saturday.

Excellent! I'll be there on Sunday morning around 0930 - 1000, I probably won't be wearing green though!  :D

Think I might ride up on Saturday...Sundays usually a day of rest for the Paladin household.  :)

Longpoint's schedule is up:  http://fightlongpoint.com/?page_id=12

It looks like the tournaments are early both days, with afternoon classes. I'm not doing the dussack tournament, so I'm actually not directly involved in anything until 11am on Saturday, but I'll still try to get there during the actual registration time and watch (and hang out and socialize, etc).

I still haven't decided which classes I want to take. Sometimes it's nice to try something new. Other times it's nice to do what you're familiar with, but with other instructors who have a different approach or interpretation. I'm signed up for Mike Edelson's test cutting class, but I don't see it on the schedule.

I don't see the cutting portion on the schedule; is it possible to take just the cutting class, but spectate for the rest of the event?

You know, I have no idea. I suspect they're treating that as an add on, since the additional costs are for materials. I think the rest of the event cost is needed for renting the facility.

Many of the classes will work well for beginners. You could always sign up for the whole thing. :)
