Congrats to Klemba for winning both supers and his 180 class, right and left hands!! Also congrats to Ermini for winning right and left 200's! Now you can buy some chalk and Cory and Jon, great job!! You both had some nice wins, and took home some $. Does anyone remember who gave me my second loss left handed? I remember Harry Bean handed me one loss. It was Klemba and Cory right handed. I hope I didn't leave too early

Oh boy RVJ in left heavies. I can shoot for second Lol And we are supposed to get snow this week here in NY. Hope it stays here. ready to Even though Ron Klemba can make 180, he will also likely pull 220 and heavies. Cory Bresnan will also be pulling heavies or 220's or both. I also will be pulling heavies right and left. There are a lot of 242's that are going to be forced to pull heavies....Max Maxwell, Kurt Howgate, Badger Drewes, if they come. Frank Hirst could pull both if he shows.....Frank doesn't like to travel much...so not sure about Frank...lol

Chris, I agree with 90% of what you believe. Religion has been used in awful ways by awful people, for exactly the reasons you say it has. No argument here. But in my own experience, that is Man's use of religion. His use of it doesn't negate the truth it was founded on. I say truth, because in my life it really is truth- it's not something I blindly believe in. I came from where you are and ended up with what I believe now. I'm not asking you to believe me. I'm not here to convince anyone of anything. I'm just here to discuss and and share own thoughts and experience. Ditto to everything. In the last 335 pages, a few of us have shared the personal details of our lives. Because of my life, I am sure there is a God.

I see Tim as an amateur going into this event, but recognize that he is making strides in the 176 pound class. He already said he would pull strictly open now, so the controversy should end over Tim. I too asked Leonard what to pull, and since I don't travel out of the area, and have no national wins or recognition, I should pull amateur. Since I won it, I will pull with Marcio and Chaffee in the open class next year and go 2 and out, but will train hard and give it my all...Leonard wasn't trying to make more money off me, he was honestly telling me where I belong. That being said, I know where Christian and the TK are coming from, but Leonard is head WAF ref and maybe deserves a little more respectful treatment...just my opinion, please don't take offense.

It has been confirmed that the USAA National Pro-Am will be held in Hartford again next year. ;D ;D ;D ;D We are very lucky! The Europa event is incredible....all the martial arts, power lifting, body building, obstacle courses, cross fit type work outs, and I think cross fit is coming soon to Europa.

Tim, 4-2 or 4-3....It's hard to say how it's going to play out, but I think Tim's ready. They are both technical and both crazy strong, so this is likely to be a war.

Chris Kaufman 2nd in the 220's and Jake Smith beating Klemba left handed!!!!! Those are the 2 that stuck out most for me...congrats to all!
No surprise to those who know Storm that he took the 187's....that's a freaky strong young man!
More comments to come as official results come out
Oh, and I am very happy to see John back in the game, as are many people from all over the world.

I believe Kris would have won first place no matter what...in my opinion...the best 154 around here.
