TujLub "superbowl" today and tomorrow
« on: July 04, 2015, 03:50:07 PM »

The 35th Annual Hmong Freedom Celebration Sport Tournament is taking place today and tomorrow at the Como Park’s McMurray Field in Saint Paul, Minnesota: link (thanks Larry).

The Tuj Lub competition seems to be pretty serious: the entrance fee per team is $200. The prizes are: 1st) $3,000 + trophy 2nd) $1,000 plus trophy, 3rd) $500 plus trophy.

We often brag about how much money we give away at Miamisburg (actually, it is not that much but I thought it might spur some on to spend more money on their tournament).  The money they give at TujLub "superbowl" dwarfs anything we have ever given away!!!

The Tiwan Top on ebay, the five inch one is the best fighter I have. We are missing out on a lot of fun here. I have one and I would like a couple of more. And then look for someone to fight with.

I am a tujlub player base in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I want to introduce the sport of tujlub and how it's play. This sport has been spread in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Florida, Colorado, California, and Rode Island. The president of the tujlub community is Chia Chue Yang. Not only he is the president, he also makes tujlub for the community. Watch the video below on how he makes a tujlub.

If you are curious how a tujlub is made, watch the video below or you can watch it on Youtube and type "Making Tuj Lub part 1". This is only the fist half of the video. I will upload the other half as soon as it's uploaded by the owner:

Yippee!!!  Welcome TujLub to our forum.  We know some about this style of top spinning but we are looking forward to learning more.  As you can see, there has been discussion about this for a number of years.

I enjoyed skimming through the video.  I will try to watch it more closely tomorrow, my day off.  What kind of material is the spinner made out of?

The tujlub is made of plastic, but I do not remember what type of plastic. The narrow end of the tujlub tip is metal.
