00:00.400 --> 00:04.179
Not ready . Here we are with

00:04.190 --> 00:06.940
the tags , combative state tournament

00:06.949 --> 00:10.750
for ty 24 . My role within

00:10.760 --> 00:13.038
this event is I'm the head of referees .

00:13.038 --> 00:15.093
I make sure all the refs know what's

00:15.093 --> 00:17.093
going on . I explain to competitors

00:17.093 --> 00:19.204
what's legal , what's not legal , the

00:19.204 --> 00:21.038
breakdown between competitors on

00:21.038 --> 00:23.038
different skill levels and years of

00:23.038 --> 00:25.038
experience and all everything has a

00:25.038 --> 00:27.260
factor when there's a difference in age

00:27.260 --> 00:29.482
difference in experience training . The

00:29.482 --> 00:31.260
end goal of this competition is

00:31.260 --> 00:33.650
hopefully we raise awareness for Mac P

00:33.659 --> 00:36.110
modern Army Combatants program to help

00:36.119 --> 00:38.175
spread combative throughout the Ohio

00:38.175 --> 00:40.529
Army National Guard as well as bring on

00:40.540 --> 00:42.810
new team members for the Ohio National

00:42.930 --> 00:45.810
Combative . I haven't done too many

00:45.819 --> 00:47.819
army combative courses , but on the

00:47.819 --> 00:50.180
civilian side , I train a , I have been

00:50.279 --> 00:53.009
for about three years now and I compete

00:53.020 --> 00:55.979
within the state . I am the only

00:55.990 --> 00:57.990
soldier from my unit . I'm proud to

00:57.990 --> 01:00.419
represent aviation . Nobody thinks

01:00.430 --> 01:02.330
these fly guys can fight . Yeah ,

01:02.340 --> 01:04.451
there's definitely some uh challenges

01:04.451 --> 01:06.910
coming here . Uh One just converting

01:06.919 --> 01:09.489
from M MA to combs rules . Combative is

01:09.500 --> 01:11.278
different , you gotta do things

01:11.278 --> 01:13.370
differently . It's more technical by

01:13.379 --> 01:15.435
the book . There's definitely some ,

01:15.435 --> 01:17.601
some guys here that have some talent .

01:17.620 --> 01:19.620
I would absolutely love to join the

01:19.620 --> 01:21.676
Ohio Combs team . I heard today they

01:21.676 --> 01:23.731
have an opening for heavyweight , so

01:23.731 --> 01:24.639
I'm really ready to step in .
