So on the 29th of september we went to Vic uni footscray...

we, dressed on fully rmit code: RMIT hoodie and shirt (some socks too)...were ready to tackle other unis across australia in TKD. But melb uni is our rival...and the one to beat.

So I didnt compete because of the injuries i sustained in the past weeks, so me and matt (president) pretty much helped around looking after our fighters and organise people and ushering around, because quang will be busy coaching on the sideline, we were responsible for those tasks (and some figthing tips for the noobies) Overall we did quite well, in fact, the junior members were the victorious ones, in yellow bantam weight (62kg max - my division) we got gold! and in heavy weight (heaviest of them all) yellow we swoop 2 bronze and a gold - tall skid mark, in welter (74kg) a silver (which was won by Chris - good guy funny man) and a few more bronze. Two uncontested gold in red belt division and one silver earned by Dave, and one gold in blue belt:
Ok this blue belt, shin, a girl, was fighting a red belt because there was no one else in their division, only one fight though, shin convincingly won the fight...1-0 aka now she is 2 times uni champ, earning her the title 'Pro' and right leg of death (she only used right throughout her fight) Now the other guys have been teasing her as the champion...2x, PRO! the best fighter..etc. The black belt divison we didnt get any gold, but lots of silver-3 and bronze-4, but one honourable mention goes to steve, he fought with one arm (he had broken arm from bike accident) and the best moment of the day goes to him...He dislocated Melb uni president's Jaw...! aka Technical KO! Which earned him a prestigious Green and Gold medal...!he is our idol now...!we got it on video! the best wooo!

so overall we are ranked 2nd overall all AUSTRALIA with melb uni coming in first why? because they had the most fighters with 33, and we came 2nd because we had 22, we felt that Melb uni were cocky and snobby after their win. and some fights i felt were rigged, like one melb uni guy kept grabbing rmit fighter crotch...wtf, we got it on camera, so watch out!

Next year we have a mission, follow steve's path and make melb uni cry...
btw we produced the biggest team and earned the most medals in RMIT sporting with 19 medals out of 22 fighthers.

I didnt quite enjoy the day though, as i was sick from food poisoning, i went to the toilet once, locked myself in and tried to vomit, didnt work, second time, neither. third time i put a finger down the throat and oweeeekkk...and i was pale until we went to dinner afterward, which when i got home i puked out. feel better now thanx.
