2010 Australian Rock Paper Scissors Champion: Fists of Fury

Congratulations to Peter "Fists of Fury" Mathews, 2010 Australian Champion in Rock Paper Scissors. Don't believe me? Here's the official website and coverage by the World RPS Society.

And here's how he won the final:

It has been an impressive run for the friends of UpShake in RPS over the past 5 or so years. UpShake's own Cam "The Paper Shredder" and UpShake lurker Paul also "The Paper Shredder" winning the South Australian finals in 2009 and 2006 respectively. UpShake's own Origami was an SA finalist in 2005, 2007 and 2009.  However, no one has done as well as Fists of Fury, winning the national title, gold medallion and free trip to Canada.  So how did he do it? Well, UpShake was there because we knew his potential and encouraged him to go straight to the national final in our nation's capital, Canberra.  He signed up on the night, making his way through the 40 other challengers to then take on the 6 state winners (one from New Zealand) in the round of 16. 4 wins later and the rest is history. 

Peter travels to Toronto, Canada in October to compete in the world championships.  Everyone else? Get training for next year with this handy wall chart.
