Since so many of you are from VA maybe you can help me out. Saturday I will be down with some fellow Martial Artists at the 2006 Charlie Lee Nationals World Series of Martial Arts. It's taking place at the Hyatt Regency near the Reston Town Center. I'll be going down with about 10 people (age range 16 to 30). There is a break between 3PM and 7PM where we'll have about 4 hours to kill before the finals, we're going to grab dinner but that still leaves a couple hours to kill. Anyone know of anything fun or cool in the area to do? Is there like a D&B (yes I could check their website) nearby or anything else that's fun and isn't a bar since half the people are still in high school? Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

On a side note, this tournament should be kick @ss!!! Some of the best martial artists in the world will be here competing. From what I understand alot of the past contestants have gone on to do some crazy ****. One of the guys is now on Jackie Chan's stunt team. Another you can see in the beginning of the Black Eyed Peas video for Pump It. Pretty cool ****! Entrance fee is $25 if anyone is interested.

 

Other than walking around Reston Town Center, I'm not sure what's fun for your group... maybe walk across the street to BestBuy?

 

There's a movie theater at the towncenter. Thats about it up there man. It's the boondocks.

 

Tysons is right near there, you can go shopping, eating, then watch a movie. Thats pretty much it.

 

Leesburg and Blue Mtn Rd. aren't too far away if you've got a couple cars

 

hey stanton i'm interested in coming..i'll see if i can get some of my friends to come. Is it like the movie karate kid?

 

You mean they're fighting for the City Valley Championship against the Cobra Kai??? If so count me in!! I'll be there singing 'You're the best.. around!! Nothing gonna keep me down'. I know you guys love that jam.. Maybe Elizabeth Shue will be there too

 

chea!! lool

 

so stanton what belt are you? and are we gonna see the "crane kick" in action? that move is awesome LOOL if you someone does that move in a fight i'd go nuts!! lool

 

How often do you guys have these martial art competitions there? I was there in Oct '05 for a wedding and saw some kids jumping around in the hallway.

 

First off I think there is some confusion. I will not be competing b/c I would get my @ss beat down like a prison b!tch. Me and the folks from my school will be going as spectators. If my instructor competed he would definitely be able to hold his own...I would die.

Currently I'm a 2nd Degree Black. This event should be pretty big. There will probably be a couple hundred competitors, some of the best from all over the country and probably a few international folks too.

Here's a link to the PDF flier.

If you guys are serious about coming that would be great! We should be there around 11AM or so. I believe this tournament is annual.

Ummm...I'm going...@sshole
