Shuai Jiao Self Defense Demo

Amidst all the Wushu and Tai Chi performances during the 2010 USAWKF Master’s Demonstration, one performance in particular stood out.

Clips and Techniques from Grandmaster Jeng’s ’09 Seminar

It’s been a whole year since Lao Shifu (Grandmaster) Jeng, Hsing Ping visited California to hold his seminar, but I haven’t had the chance to organize the footage until now! All in all, it was a good seminar with a room packed full of people. Despite the proportion of people to floor size, everyone managed to find his own piece of mat space without bumping into others. By the end of the day, every person had learned something new.

Here are some clips from before and during the seminar. Enjoy!

GLKFC Final Results!

The Annual Great Lakes Kung Fu Championships in Cleveland, Ohio this year was amazing.  Great turnout for competitors and the only complaint I have is that there were almost too many people there (which is a great thing).  Congratulations to all the schools and participants that came out to compete for the hard fought medals.  There was a great showing of all different types of styles and skill levels that I’m sure that everyone enjoyed watching.

Also,  if anyone has any pictures or video of the tournament, please feel free to email them to me so I can upload them onto the site! emeric@shuaijiaonation.com.
