ITKFA Chinese Martial Arts Championship

[GeneChing]

Tomorrow is the 6th ITKFA Chinese Martial Arts Championship (http://www.itkfamartialartschampionship.com/index.html). I'll be there. Anyone else?

We covered the 5th in our NOV+DEC 2013 (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/article.php?article=1125) issue: International Traditional Kung Fu Association Chinese Martial Arts Championship By Jeff Hung. There is also a photo album on our facebook pag (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151794161964363.1073741845.135964689362&type=1)e.

Just dropped 48 pix in our ITKFA photo album on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151794161964363.1073741845.135964689362&type=1).

Just dropped 39 pix in our ITKFA photo album on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151794161964363.1073741845.135964689362&type=1). For some reason, fb is being a little fussy and not displaying the pix on our fb landing page, nor is it transferring all of the photo tags properly. :mad: Alas, what can you expect from a free social network service?

[GeneChing]

Just dropped 40 pix in our ITKFA photo album on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151794161964363.1073741845.135964689362&type=1). These are the last of the photos that I shot. Tomorrow I will post the photos that Gigi shot. I covered the tournament. Gigi covered the Masters' Demo.

fb still isn't displaying the additional photos properly. :mad: I hope this isn't some update of how fb works because we milk the photo album updates to increase our likes (which is why we post these photos in batches over a week or so).

Just dropped 41 pix in our ITKFA photo album on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151794161964363.1073741845.135964689362&type=1). These are from Gigi's photos. I'll post the last of them tomorrow and the coverage will be in our NOV+DEC 2014 issue.

[GeneChing]

I just dropped the last 42 of Gigi's pix in our ITKFA photo album on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151794161964363.1073741845.135964689362&type=1).

I'm either really out of it from working the Phish shows over the last 3 nights in SF, or I've never done a thread for ITKFA Championships? It's one of my favorite local tournaments. It just happened last weekend. There's a facebook album here (https://www.facebook.com/Kung-Fu-Tai-Chi-Magazine-135964689362/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10151794161964363). There are photos I shot from the 5th ITKFA Chinese Martial Arts Championships in 2013, 6th ITKFA Chinese Martial Arts Championships in 2014, and this year's which I am in the process of posting this week.

Preserving the Legacy at the 6th International Traditional Kung Fu Association Championship By Gene Ching NOV+DEC 2014 (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/article.php?article=1178)

Here's their official website (http://itkfamartialartschampionship.com/) but they've already pulled it down, so this is just an FYI link for next year.

Actually, regardless I'm really out of it from working the Phish shows over the last 3 nights in SF...that was a big run while having to pull 8+ hours each day.

I just dropped 50+ pics in our ITKFA Chinese Martial Arts Championships facebook album (https://www.facebook.com/pg/Kung-Fu-Tai-Chi-Magazine-135964689362/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10151794161964363) from last weekend. The photos are from Gigi. I wasn't able to make it this year. :(

Pan Ams are scheduled for the same day in San Jose. :rolleyes:

I'm loyal to the Tomizaki's so I'll be here. Masters Daniel (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/article.php?article=1398) and Steffani are old personal friends.

[GeneChing]

Anyone here going? I'll be there all day. :cool:

There was a surprising gathering of Bak Sil Lum representatives akin to what happened at our Ku Yu Cheung Bak Sil Lum Championship this year.

I just realized that the BSL pic never got posted on facebook. I just corrected that.

14TH ITKFA CHINESE MARTIAL ARTS CHAMPIONSHIP (https://www.itkfachampionship.com)

Looking forward to 2024 and the 14th ITKFA Chinese Martial Arts Championship on July 6, 2024 at our new venue: The Concord Plaza Hotel. We'll be using both their ballrooms with plenty of space for competitors to hang out in the indoor atrium, complete with a koi fish river!

Registration will open later this year. Please see our Tournament page for more details.
I was bummed to miss this last year because I was backpacking in Yosemite. Hopefully I'll be back this year.
