2015 Tiger Claw Elite Championships & KUNG FU TAI CHI DAY – Part 2: Form Not Mind, Step Not Heart (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=1255)
The 2016 Tiger Claw Elite Championships and KUNG FU TAI CHI DAY is scheduled for May 21–22. Next year is the Year of the Monkey, so we will hold a Showcase Division, the Monkey King Championship, open to all proponents of Monkey Style Kung Fu. We are consolidating our event so it will all be held in the South Hall of San Jose McEnery Convention Center. This won’t affect the non-Chinese Championships, only the KungFuMagazine.com Championship. Both the Internal and Showcase Divisions will be held on Sunday. Sunday will also have all of the attractions of KUNG FU TAI CHI DAY, the Masters’ Demonstration and workshops, and it will be free admission for spectators.

We are also developing another Showcase Division, the 1st Wushu Nandu Championship. Spearheading this are veteran Wushu proponents Emilio Alpanseque and Brandon Sugiyama. Advanced Nandu athletes will compete with ONE Empty Hand Routine (Changquan, Nanquan, Taijiquan) and ONE Short Weapon Routine (Daoshu, Jianshu, Nandao, Taijijjian) for a combined total score that will determine the winner of each division. There will only be four divisions: Men’s 14–17 years or 18+ years and Women’s 14–17 years or 18+ years. This Championship will use the International Wushu Federation IWUF 2005 Rules for judging. As a Showcase Division, the Wushu Nandu Championship is independent of the Modern Wushu Divisions and will have no effect upon the Modern Wushu Grand Champions. This will be held on Saturday, but the other Showcase Championships, the WildAid Tiger Claw Championship, the Monkey King Championship and the Drunken Style Championship (if we find a sponsor) will be held on Sunday.

First Wushu Nandu Championship! (http://www.examiner.com/article/first-wushu-nandu-championship)
Violet Li Tai Chi Examiner
May 1, 2016

Nan means difficulty in Chinese while Du means degree(s). Wushu (or modern Chinese martial arts) Nandu competition is similar to the Olympic gymnastic games that judges use a stringent standard to score every detailed move that a Wushu contestant makes. It is mandatory that high-intensity and high-difficulty moves to be included in the routines to challenge an athlete’s limits. It is also true that a tournament host needs to be well organized and uphold the highest standard to provide world-class competition facility and an excellent team of judges. After hosting seven successful reputable championships, the Tiger Claw Elite KungFuMagazine.com Championship is hosting the first Wushu Nandu Championship on Saturday May 21st at the San Jose McEnergy Convention Center.

http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_content_width_large/hash/62/87/6287087f223b109681d0831d585bf03b.jpg?itok=RtdwHz_Q
KungFuMagazine.com

There will be four divisions for this Championship: Wushu Nandu 17 and under for female, Wushu Nandu 17 and under for male, Wushu Nandu 18 and over for female, and Wushu Nandu 18 and over for male. Competition Events include the “Optional Bare Hand Routines: Changquan, Nanquan, and Tai Chi Chuan (Taiji)” and the “Optional Short Weapon Routine: Daoshu, Jianshu, Nandao, and Tai Chi Sword (Taijijian)”. Athletes will compete with one bare hand routine and one short weapon routine for a combined total score. Unless otherwise stated within these regulations, these divisions will implement the 2005 IWUF “Scoring Method and Criteria for Degree of Difficulty of Movements of Optional Routines”. Athletes may choose to register and perform grade A and/or B degree of difficulty techniques within their routines. If they choose to register and perform grade C degree of difficulty techniques, the value awarded for these will be those of the B degree of difficulty. Accompanying music is required for Tai Chi routines. This is a pre-registration tournament only. Online registration website is available here. Registrations must be turned in no later than May 11th, 2016.

A combined total score of the Bare Hand Routine and the Short Weapon Routine will determine the Wushu Nandu Champion of each division. Winners will be awarded with a custom trophy and will be showcased in Kung Fu Tai Chi magazine throughout the following year. In addition, winners of the adult divisions will earn a Claw Cash prize equivalent of $200 towards purchases on TigerClaw.com. As a Showcase Division, the Wushu Nandu Championship is independent of the Modern Wushu Divisions of the Tiger Claw Elite KungFuMagazine.com Championship and will have no effect upon the Modern Wushu Grand Champions. For more information, you can visit the official website (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/info/tournament/Nandu.html).

Note: You can use video links here to see what Nandu standards for Degree A, Degree B, and Degree C can be. But refer to the 2005 IWUF “Scoring Method and Criteria for Degree of Difficulty of Movements of Optional Routines” for the true judging standard.

I didn't copy the vids and all the links.

Wow, what a weekend. Here's the start of our first Facebook photo album: 2016 Tiger Claw Elite KungFuMagazine.com photos by Kevin Ho (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10154294147604363.1073741893.135964689362&type=3).

As those of you who follow my personal Facebook page know, my car got broken into during the Welcoming Banquet. The thieves stole some our medical jump bag (on loan for the weekend), my gear bag for the event and my personal bag for the weekend. It was daylight, on a relatively busy street near our office, with 50+ masters and grandmasters inside. If only one had bore witness, it could have been something like this (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?49825-Successful-Street-Applications&p=1292823#post1292823). That fantasy of vengeance gives me some solace. It was a really rough start to a very long weekend, but I'll tell you all more about it later, when I give my personal account after all the dust has settled.

文/竹影 2016年6月2日写于美国

2016年5月21-22日在美国圣荷西市举办了“第八届美国功夫太极杂志社国际武术锦标赛”。

“上海轩德太极拳队”教练潘树明率学生李玫、凌莉前往参赛。潘树明参加45岁以上高级组，喜获42式太极拳 、剑、传统刀，三个单项的第一名，并获“冠军皇”（总冠军）的金奖,。她的二名学生分获各年龄段的单项金、 银奖。

当潘树明走上领奖台时，观众中有人轻声说，那不是去年在“圣荷西术功夫太极日”，上场表演42拳、42剑的 “上海精武女拳手吗？”。显然，去年前来参赛的选手与观众对她展示拳、剑的规整，优美、沉稳…的印象深刻， 去年她虽然没有参赛，可是见过她表演的人，还是认出她来。

去年2015年，她到美国旅游期间，正巧赶上观摩“圣荷西功夫太极日”，就在民间武台上作了献演。她听说昨 天有比赛，遗憾的是没赶上。并表示第八届武术赛会，她来参赛，再与太极拳友们在赛场上，校技、 交流。

果然，她今年前来参赛了。凭她的技艺，捧走该年龄段的大奖“冠军皇”是无异议的。而她所经历的民间赛事多多 ，奖牌可缀满胸襟，并非完全为获奖而来。人们并不知道，她今年6月回上海后，7月又要代表“上海精武体育总 会”再度赴美参加“国际精武联谊会”在美国举办的“国际精武武术文化交流会”。殊不知，二次赴美参赛的费用 均为自理，而她表示，去年与美国拳友短暂的太极拳交往后，似乎与美国太极拳人结了缘 ，所以二次赛事间隔短，花费大，也值得一来。

本次赛会，太极拳的比赛安排在22日上午，21日为其它武术项目的比赛。大会裁判组获知，她曾担任过香港武 术赛会执裁工作，因此，也聘她为裁判。也是裁判实习的机会。

22日上午太极拳专场赛后，运动员、观众要求她在22日下午“圣荷西功夫太极日”的表演舞台上，再次展示4 2拳、42剑的技艺，大会组织者也举荐，安排她上场表演。

下午开场她列为全场集体24式太极拳表演的引领者之一。舞台上她表演了27式太极拳。

她此行，可以说确实不易，却也一举多得呀！

“以武会友”留给人似非悬念！
