I totally missed out on this tournament. Anyone care to share their experience this weekend?

[WushuDude]

This is Trung from Houston, I had a great time at the tournament. Meet alot of nice coaches/judges. Things are messy at the beginning but this is our first team trails event so I can't compare. I thought the judging is pretty fare and the competition is very competitive for all age group. Congrats to my Wushu Houston team bringing home 3 golds and 3 silvers. White boy rock! (Aryan Marandi) made it to group A, A team. Christian Le and Jardon Hwang group B, B team. One complaint I have is that these medals are spray painted. All of our kids medals, the paint start coming loose and look so cheap looking. Don't know what happen there?

how was the turnout for the event? competitors? spectators?

i found a few videos on youtube and it appears sparsely attended, but that could be because of the camera angles.

The team rankings for the Junior Trials are incorrect.

And the Group C ranking is incorrect. The name Priscilla and Julia Shyy should be switched. Priscilla is on C team and Julia is on B Team.

Four young students from a McAllen martial arts school will attend a national tournament Friday in California.

The students study at McAllen Wushu, located at 2200 Trenton Road in McAllen. Wushu is a type of kung fu, often seen practiced in movies like “Kill Bill” and most recently “The Last Airbender.”

The four students will travel to San Jose, Calif., for Nationals and International Wushu-Kungfu Championships, which begin Friday and end Sunday. Two of the best young competitors from this tournament will be selected to represent the United States in an international Wushu tournament.

“It’s kind of like the Olympics of martial arts,” said Lina Madrid, owner of the school.

The four students are Paulina Lerna, 15, Andres Hernandez, 11, Manuel Lerna, 11, and Jaime Hurcado, 8. They will compete in several events, including empty hand, broad sword, straight sword, staff and spear.

“We’ve been training for six months,” Madrid said. “These kids started training in January. The team is hand-picked. Only the best of our 60 students are allowed to try out.”

The children are coached by school instructor Felipe Corona, who was a seven-time national Wushu champion in his native Mexico. For more information about the tournament visit http://www.wushutrials.com.

I was sitting in front of the stage when they announced team placement... So I think it should be correct. I also have pictures.
But always good to wait.
