I just booked my plane ticket and room for me and my sifu. who else is gonna go?
other then gene.
I’m going.
May even fight.
My cell and email are the same as they used to be.
We can hang out like we shoulda the last time at the wong.
If not, I’ll take it as descrimination for being a yankee fan.
Everyone else comin, feel free to give me a hollar and we can go do some fun stuff.
I still say Fort Worth’s downtown’s worth the extra 20~30 minute drive.
I’ll be there cornering for a couple of San Shou fighters.
My Sifu is a judge and sometimes participates in the masters demonstrations.
I may go to watch, but I won’t be competing; I need to train more. 
anyone else going?
should we plan a meetup? MK any good spot and itme to meet up? i never been there before.
Could someone post a link for the event. Not sure when or where it is?
Thanks
The place is relavtively small. There will be like 1,000 or so competitors, but it’s a one big open room and eventually you’ll just bump into people. In between sets most people just hang out in the lobby. There will be lots of vendor booths, and you can pick up weapons and uniforms (yeah Jonie Uniforms) cheap cheap cheap.
I suggest we meet up wherever Gene or Gigi is buying lunch.

Don’t let the name fool you. This is the premiere Chinese tournament in this part of the country.
The building is within walking distance of Six Flags, The Ballpark at Arlington, and Hurricane Harbor.
It’s still at the plano center right?
That’s at least a 20 minute drive from all those spots you mentioned in arlington.
I guess Plano Station is close by so you could catch public transportation down there.
I don’t mind drivin folks around when yah get down here.
In the future I’d like to start plannin some kind of yearly after party(s) for KFO members (and anybody else who wants to come), so we’d have some opportunities to hang out without the hustle & bustle of competing.
wherever Gene or Gigi is buying lunch.
bwahahaha! Meet y’all by the nacho stand…
It’ll be good to see all of you. I’m looking forward to this year immensily.
the f**king nacho stand huh!!! I’m down. nacho and beer!!! and pink ninjetta’s!!!
My bad. It was at the Arlington Convention Center the last few years.
That’s why I asked; I didn’t know if the site was up to date.
Thanks for the confirmation, did a search through the site, changing the year on the folder and found that in 2003 and 2004 it was in Arlington.
I haven’t been to a Taiji Legacy since 2001.
From what I remember the set up is somewhat similar to the Kuoshu Tournament in Maryland; except no separate warm up/briefing room for the full contact fighters. I thought they had refreshment stands outside the ballroom doorway, closest to the building entrance.
I’m assuming Gene means to meet at the TigerClaw booth?
Y’all should be able to find me easily…
…I’ll be that poseur dude with the camera and the nachos. Since I don’t have a clue about what you all look like (except for Shaolinlueb, and for some reason, my mental image is of him in a jog bra :eek: ) so it’s best if you find me. I’m easy to spot. There is no Tiger Claw Booth at Taiji Legacy. That would be in the TN office’s jurisdiction and they aren’t up to travelling that far.
BTW, we used to do shoots with the forum members for the review article, but we stopped because it wasn’t fair to the tournament participants, et. al. However, if any forum member wants to get in the mag, they can be part of our hobo shoot. You just need to bring a dirty old gi top and a cardboard sign. I’ll be sure to bring some photo releases. Shaolinlueb, you’d be a natural for this! I’m totally serious about this, just as I’m totally serious about looking forward to seeing y’all again. SLL, it’s been years, hasn’t it? And MK, I’m looking forward to meeting you face-to-face.
gene, im sorry if the image you have of me is in a bra., im very sorry.
yes it has been a long time, since hoboken. will be good to see you again.
me good for the hobo shot? ok. i will bring a cardboard sign and an old kung fu top. what should the cardboard sign say? lol sounds good to me.
gene i still owe you a beer man. i never got to buy you one last time.
i also cant wait to meet MK face to face.
taiji legacy masters attending
does anyone know the list of masters attending?
i want to meet GM david chin.
gene i still owe you a beer man.
htowndragon: I merged your new thread into this one.
You can meet GM Chin vicariously here.
You can get a master’s list (at least the ones giving workshops) at the Taiji Legacy site here.
SLL:

That’s got to be my favorite post ever. More members should post like you. I could just read it over and over and over again.

Thinking about signing up for your seminar gene, maybe Mike Barry’s too.
See, I have this weird feeling that I’m not long for this world and I’d like to write a book or something to save some of the interesting stories of heard and seen for posterity. Thought maybe your seminar would at least help kickstart me on the writing.
PS- no offense here man, but with the right hat you could pass for genghis khan with your style like that in the taiji legacy photo. I think we’re gonna have to go raiding and pillaging when you get here.
