Friends,
August 9th, 2014 will be the date for the 6th Annual International Warriors Hall of Fame Championship hosted by Master Tony Yang. The event will be held in Akron, Ohio. Details can be found at http://www.wutangcenter.com/wt/

The Master's Demonstration last year featured: Sun Deyao (Taiji Meihua Tanglangquan), Wang Rengang (Taiji Meihua Tanglangquan), Zhang Maochang (Taiji Meihua Tanglangquan), Jaime Hooper (Qixing Tanglangquan) and Wang Bingwen (Shaolin). Several of these shifu will be returning this year.

I am especially excited that my shifu from Qingdao, China, Master Zhang Weifu (Taiji Meihua Tanglangquan), will be in attendance with a few of my kung fu brothers and sisters. :)
