Then I found Coach Rick Jacobs after coming to Columbus to attend college. It was only a half hour drive and I enjoyed classes
and practicing wushu again.
*NEWS* I've actually started wushu classes again. I was
training under Coach Jacobs when he left to go train under his coach in
California. So now a couple of fellow students and I are trying to setup
the first wushu club at the Ohio State University. I really hope it goes
through because I love wushu and love sharing it with all I can! I'm
going to be putting up a webpage sometime which I will link on here when
I get a chance.
Following is a partial listing of the awards I have won
in tournaments I have participated in. The first column is
the year of the tournament; the second column is the name of the
tournament; the third column is the place I received in each event; and
the last column is the event I competed in. Some are blank
because I can't find what event I competed in. Also, some
tournaments are listed more than once for the same year.
That is because some tournaments had several competitions throughout the
year.

This is an image of Zhao Changjun, my favorite
martial artist of all time. He is the very best wushu competitor
ever .... at least I think so!
Here's some pictures of Yuen Wen Ching. He's one of
the best wushu athletes ever seen. I still like Zhao Changjun better!
Well that's about it for now. I might get a few
poses of me up in here so check back. You might also check out
these pages or email me if you are still interested in learning more about wushu
and the martial arts.
