James' First Tournament

Just a quick note on the CCKSF tournament from this past weekend. We had one competitor from our school this time around but it was a great experience. James went into his first tournament and won a Bronze in Hand Forms and a Silver in Sparring. Congratulations James. Good showing for your first time out.

Sparring Videos From Last Tournament

Here are some videos that one of the CCKSF group posted on Youtube from the last tournament. Those in my class will notice a few familiar people in here.

CCKSF Tournament Crew

A small group of students competed this weekend in the CCKSF Kung Fu tournament. Along with a great chance for Kai and Kevin C to get some tournament experience, we had some medal winning performances from a couple of the more senior students in the group, Jason and JP. Great job guys.

Medals won were:

• Jason - Gold in Advanced Long Weapons
• Jason - Bronze in Advanced Hand Forms
• JP - Gold in Advanced Short Weapons
• JP - Bronze in Advanced Hand Forms
• JP - Bronze in Fighting (Heavyweight Division)

More important was once again recognition from judges that the proper use of techniques by our students (in both forms and fighting) was a good example for other competitors moving forward. Even in fights that were not victories, the students did a great job of controlling techniques and producing a great technical fight. In these tournaments, I believe this is the true indication of the success of the students and a strong endorsement that our training methods will produce proper martial artists in the long run.

CCKSF Supports China Earthquake Victims

Members of the CCKSF performed on Friday night at Pacific Mall in Markham in an effort to support the China earthquake victims. This was put together with very short notice and although I was not able to attend in the end I would like to applaud the instructors that were able to participate. The organization has regularly performed to raise funds for charity during times of disaster recovery and reminds us that the martial arts community should contribute whenever possible. Well done to those that were able to participate!!!

For those that are interested in supporting the cause, donations can be made online at the Red Cross website.
