I've seen martial arts tournaments (and participated in a couple, ouch!) and they're never like the movies. They usualy involve the participants circling each other, mixed with a flurry of blows, kicks, and blocks. And yeah, it can often be a "3-move, done" fight. <grin> Chris (Who always seemed to be in the wrong age group, pitted against bigger, more aggressive people.
