congrats to the mc team on their wins in orlando, big dissappointment from the organisers on the quality of the judging at the event, franks breaks were superior to everyone else and he should have won but only placed due to crap judges on the day.
best breaking franks ever done well above 4th degree. sorry frank will be complaining to officials soon!
a personal thanks to bren for his dedication to ming-chuan and his perseverance with all my demands for to up his conditioning in order to break extra for his 6 duan, well beyond the syllabus for this grade, it was a pleasure to award him his belt and cert. master jf
