The Second interclass open.

Around 15 fighters turned up for yesterday's interclass dussack competition which was held in Stepney Green East London (the location of our Thursday class. More people would have made it but yours truly chose mother's day to hold the event.
As it was, not having too many attend was a good idea as it allowed each pool of fighters to have a decent number of fights.

The fighters were split into three pools-which rotated, with one pool resting, one fighting and the other judging at all times. The protective gear was kept simple with only mask gloves and throat guards compulsory.

Once everyone was in place (a few having problems getting across London on a Sunday) everything ran very smoothly, with the first pools rotation fighting for three minutes (no eliminations for double kills), and each fight after that running for two mins.  This is the second competition we have run and it again proved how well and simply the open rules work.

Tim Fuke won the comp hands down, winning every fight he had. A superb display from him, and a kick arse effort from everyone else. Oh, and in case you thought I couldn't be more proud of everyone who showed, they all agreed the entrance fee should go to the charity Shelter, which it now has. I am so pleased with all of you who took part or helped, thanks guys, Dave
