Master Ron Tramontano - The Martial Arts Network and Master Alan Goldberg-Founder of Martial Arts Magazine, have joined forces to bring you a "World Renowned Virtual Martial Arts Competition. Submit your best videos into this Worldwide Virtual Martial Arts Competition. At the end of the year we'll see who the top competitors are, from all over the world.
It was bound to happen sooner or later; the first Virtual Martial Arts Competition. WOW! And who do you think would put something like this together? You guessed it! The Martial Arts Network (Tman.com) and yours truly, Master Alan Goldberg. Master Ron Tramontano and I have joined forces to bring the Martial Arts Community a truly World renowned event. Competitors from around the World will now have an opportunity to compete in a world arena for all of us to see. The first tournament to have virtually an unlimited number of categories in which to compete. In November of 1995, TMAN, as it has become known, became the first global Martial Arts presence on the web. From November of 1995 until today, Master Tramontano has worked to integrate what we love to do, into the lives of every person in every country around the world. It's time to get out the video equipment, show us what you got. You need to jump head first into this one. It's about to get interesting. Here's how it works.

When 5 (five) videos have been submitted in the same category, a competition will take place, and a winner will prevail. That winner will be notified that he or she has won and has moved to the next five submitted videos in that same category. Once a video has won 5 (five) times in the same category, the video is removed and placed in holding until October of that year. At this time, all videos in holding in the same category will compete for all around world champion. Rules For Competitors: Not to exceed 4 (Four) minutes. Tip: Good Quality, Proper Execution and short to the point Video. Good Luck!

VISITORS

Visitors will log in, once logged in, a Flash presentation of a site administrator (sometimes a man sometimes a women will review how important it is that all videos be rated once viewed. This will happen only the first two times the visitor logs on to the website, then randomly at a frequency not to be annoying. The Visitor will be directed to the Video Pool where he/she will choose from one to five videos for review by placing a check in a box next to the video, then they will press DONE The. Visitor will be taken to a number of SPONSORED VIRTUAL THEME THEATERS (Apple, Nike, McDonalds, Coke, etc.) Before the show starts our Sponsors will have an opportunity to present their Banners, Logo’s, Products and links to discounted products after the show.

JUDGES

Judges are of the rank of MASTER and have registered to participate in the judging of videos being watched by Visitors or to choose videos to rate on their own. When one or more judges becomes available to view a video’s they will be assigned a theater. Judges have access to the Emoticons as well as the star rating system. Visitor will get a trill to know Judges are in their theaters and to view the Emoticons as the Judges release them.

Sponsorships

Sponsorships come in three virtual metals; any nationally known company in any country may be represented in any of the following categories of sponsorships. Virtual Platinum, Virtual Gold, Virtual Silver. Organizations participating in our premium Virtual Platinum Sponsorship will enjoy our top of the line sponsor recognition and support program. A Virtual Theater will be created by the sponsor, to our specs… your products, banners and logos will be placed in a “Virtual Theater” of your design. Virtual characters will speak of your products and favorable opportunities and deals that maybe afforded our viewers before our videos start..

I have been asked, a number of times, what the winners of the “TMAN Virtual Martial Arts Competition” will win. I have held back, on a number of occasions, from answering, only because, I was not sure what I could give to a person the world has said, is the BEST Competitor in an individual category. Sure the Olympic's give a Gold Medal and governments have medals representing bravery... right up to individual contribution, however, for me that was not enough. Medals, are great, don’t get me wrong. However, I am reminded of a lesson I teach my students.

“It should never be about what you’re getting as you try to rise to the top, but more about what you’re becoming”.

I have decided to take 10% of the NET from this competition and split it up between all the winners. I will also give to each an opportunity to audition for my screenplays, “The Time Master Trilogy” www.tman.com/TMaster/tmaster

Example: 1,000,000.00 Net, 10% = 100,000 / number of category's 100,000/100 = $1000 USD This is important: Please take your time to register today. It will not cost you anything to do this today. Once you are registered, begin to produce your competition video. (make sure you read the instructions) Return to this website and upload it here when your video is completed.

That not all. Each year, five competitors will be chosen from among all of the winners. These five will represent TVMAC in the following year as the new faces of TMAN's Virtual Martial Arts Competition. They will become the role models for our up and coming youth to aspire towards. This position is well compensated and should make the most serious of competitors long for this honor. Compensation is in the form of a percentage of the NET of the TVMAC competition. Ten percent (10%) will be divided among only five individuals.

The Five Winners Will Receive:

Example: 1,000,000.00 Net, 10% = 100,000 / number of winners (5)100,000/5 = $20,000 USD

Good Luck,

Master Ron Tramontano
