Our Christmas Trip in NYC

PING — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 19:26:41 +0000

We just wanted to share some pictures of our most recent trip to NYC with some good friends to see the Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center, and have some fun times at the ESPN Zone in Times Square.

Ping, Nora, and Becca at the Tree:

Father & Daughter: Kickin’ Some Bootay!

PING — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 15:30:26 +0000

This past weekend, we went over to the Raritan Expo Center in Edison, NJ to support our good friends, The Dancel’s, as the father/daughter combo of Vin and Julianna compete in the Challenge of Champions XXV MMA tournament, and wife/mother, Janis, tries not to jump in the ring after them (as you can imagine, most of our time was spent preventing the latter).

“
Challenge of Champions is the largest mixed martial arts competition in the United States. This twenty-fifth Challenge of Champions event boasted nearly 1,700 competitors of all ages, backgrounds and belt ranks participating in 300 divisions of head-to-head, dual-discipline martial arts competition. The event took place in front of a sold-out crowd of over 3,100 spectators (with an additional 400 volunteer staff).

The areas of competition included Submission Grappling and Free Fighting, for both juniors (ages 15 and under) and adults (of all ages).”

After hours of anticipation and preparation, Julianna started grappling at 11:30am, then immediately got ready for her 2pm weigh-in for kickboxing. A big day of coaching finished, Vin then prepared for his 5:30pm match. With Janis in need of some serious stress relief and many hours later, here are your results:

Julianna, standing 4′5″ tall and weighing in at 77lbs, takes 1st place in Kickboxing…

…and to cap off the big day, Vin takes home 2nd place:

For those of you curious on how the butt kickin’ went down, check out some awesome video coverage taken of the day’s action:

Big Vin aka “Left Hook All Day” (Vin’s the shorter guy that comes out guns blazin’)

Congratulations to Vin and Julianna for an awesome performance on Sunday! Can’t wait for next year!
