Tony and Theresa Kattengell of Shark City were by our Tiger Claw headquarters for a production meeting. Things are moving along smoothly and we have plenty of new interesting developments for this year. Online Registration will start soon. Be there!

Strong possibility I will be in attendance. Not sure if I will be competing though.

Shamefully, I won't be able to return your kind TX hospitality (nachos at a breastaurent) because I'll be running around trying to get all the martial ducks in a row. But I will be able to tip you off to any afterparties or adjacent happenings. You should consider competing in the traditional divisions. We're hoping to improve our attendance in those this year. Hope to see you.

There's been a few updates to the site - mostly archived stuff from last year's event. Check it out.

Don't worry about, if I do make it up, I will be busy visiting high school and college friends. If the budget allows, I do want to compete. Will be nice to get the cobwebs out before Taiji Legacy.

If you are coming down for Taiji Legacy, let me know.
