On June 1st, 2013, the Tiger Claw Elite Championship will be reborn as a one-day event held in San Jose, California. The 2013 Tiger Claw Elite Championship combines three separate tournaments under one roof: Tiger Claws KungFuMagazine.com Championship V alongside two new competitions, Tiger Claws Taekwondo Championship and Tiger Claws Traditional Karate Championship. The 2013 Tiger Claw Elite Championship will be held at the McEnery Convention Center, San Jose, California Due to the high demand, only pre-registration is allowed and no NO WALK-UP REGISTRATION. The number of competitors will be capped. Registration may close early so act soon.
In 2006, Tiger Claw launched the Tiger Claw Elite Championship (TCEC). TCEC was in cooperation with Disney, beginning at Disneyland® in Anaheim California and ending at Disneys Wide World of Sports® Complex near Orlando, Florida. In between, TCEC travelled through about a dozen tournaments across the nation. TCEC featured divisions for Chinese, Korean and Japanese arts and were nested within regional participating tournaments.
TC Media International, a division of Tiger Claw, publishes Kung Fu Tai Chi, a bimonthly print magazine focused on the Chinese martial arts. The San Francisco Bay Area is home to dozens of Karate and Taekwondo tournaments every year, but only a few that emphasize Chinese martial arts, so with the influence of Kung Fu Tai Chi, that martial community responded the most enthusiastically. Consequently, the Chinese divisions quickly dominated the Bay Area TCEC in Santa Clara for its three-year run.
TCECs final year was in 2008, just prior to the Sichuan quake. In only eleven days, the Tiger Claw Foundation, Tiger Claws charitable arm, called upon leading local martial artists and produced the Martial Arts Benefit for Quake Victims, a fundraising performance, to conclude the tournament event. The project raised over $73,000, which was donated to construct a new school in Sichuan.
In 2009, the local Chinese community hoped the tournament to continue, so by popular demand, Tiger Claws KungFuMagazine.com Championship (TCKFMC) had its inaugural year. TCKFMC has enjoyed four successful events in cooperation with Tony and Theresa Kattengells Shark City Nationals.
In 2012, Kung Fu Tai Chi celebrated two decades of publishing with KUNG FU TAI CHI 20 YEARS. The celebration combined Tiger Claws KungFuMagazine.com Championship with a Gala Banquet and KUNG FU TAI CHI DAY, a street fair in downtown San Jose. KUNG FU TAI CHI 20 YEARS was an overwhelming success.
This year, the Tiger Claw Elite Championship will reemerge with three divisions embracing Chinese, Japanese and Korean martial arts.
Tiger Claw Foundation launched a special showcase championship with all proceeds donated to WildAids efforts to save wild tigers. WildAid is an international non-profit organization with the mission to end the illegal wildlife trade. Kung Fu Super Star Jackie Chan is a primary spokesperson for WildAid, and he is accompanied by Harrison Ford, Ang Lee, Bo Derek and some 80 other international celebrities. This year, the Tiger Claw Foundation is renewing its efforts to support WildAid, and expanding the scope of support to include all the endangered wild animals WildAid seeks to protect.
The WildAid Tiger Claw Champion is a special any style, any form division. The WildAid Tiger Claw Champion will be awarded a custom trophy, special prizes and will be showcased in Kung Fu Tai Chi magazine throughout the following year. At the 2013 Tiger Claw Elite Championship, it is the only division where Traditional Karate, Taekwondo and Chinese martial arts will be able to compete against each other, which can be extremely interesting for martial arts enthusiasts to watch.
Tiger Claw will continue last years tradition and host Kung Fu Tai Chi Day in San Jose on Sunday June 2. As of now, there are more than 10 Tai Chi groups signed up with more than 250 people to do a group performance of 24 Simplified Tai Chi form. Kung Fu Tai Chi Magazine Publisher Gigi Ou said that this event is open to anyone that can recite the Simplified 24 Tai Chi routine. In case that you have not practiced the form for a while, you can watch the special video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV6PjN55Lb4&list=PL8A4B6425D7078275&featu… they produced to refresh your skills. It is expected to be spectacular and fun. Aside from this group demonstration, many Tai Chi groups and masters will perform various Tai Chi and Qigong forms.
