Revolution North of England Championships 2010

Revolution North of England Championships - Summary

Thank you to everyone who supported the Revolution Martial Arts Network North of England Championships yesterday.

It was a fantastic day, we had a great increase in entries with a total of over 180 competitors from 18 clubs making it our biggest event yet. Also we had an increase in standards and we maintained what has made us successful, professionalism, smooth running, no attitudes, no ego's, no politics, good atmosphere and all round friendliness.

The day would not have been the same if it wasn't for the fantastic team work, I am very lucky to be surrounded by some wonderful people. It would be impossible to thank everyone as I wouldn't want to miss anyone out but im sure if you helped out you know who you are and I want you to know how much I appreciate you and how important you are to the further growth of our Tournaments and the Revolution Network. Thank you to the Area Managers (Mr Burns, Mr Harrison & Mr Beddow), Referee's, Shadow Referee's, Corner Judges, Forms Judges, Timekeepers, Scorekeepers (especially our Senior Area Co-ordinator Sarah Melvin) and Lucy's Team who dealt with the entries, spectators and tuck shop especially Terry who as well as standing guard and making sure nobody snook in he as always was up at ACMAC early to put the mats in his van and transport them to the school. I would like to thank Tacita, Natalie, Dean and Jordan from Team ACMAC for looking after the Team as I was tied up all day.

Considering the numbers and space of the venue the event ran smoothly and didn't finish much later than we expected, we pride ourselves on giving a 4 hour time window for Kids and Adult Competitors this is what makes us different from a lot of competitions where you can be waiting from 9am till late in the evening,, the only other thing was the parking which I knew nothing about and had no control about, I would suggest anyone who has a problem get in touch with the school and maybe we can have our car park back next time.

Back to the positives and they by far outweighed the negatives. Standards went through the roof with some of our circuits most well known fighters not coming away with a Gold this time, also im looking at the Adult Black Belt Forms Division, all 7 competitors scored 28 out of a possible 30! For example that would be 9.5 from 2 judges and 9 from the another! That's a high standard at ANY competition.

Another high point was the introduction of the Sport Sword Divisions. These were very popular and will get bigger and bigger with the support of the NSWA.

Remember the winners of each categories have now automatically qualified for the Revolution English Title Fight Night in October.

Finally I would like to thank everyone who supported the event and I look forward to seeing you again at future events.
