It
is with great pleasure to welcome you
to the 2007 Taiji Legacy International
Martial Arts Championships, celebrating
the Year of the Pig. This year is also
a tremendous milestone for the event since
it has endured 10 years of remarkable
success and a distinguished showcase of
all the finest masters and competitors
from all over the world. We would like
extend our heartfelt gratitude for your
support in the past 10 years and we cannot
emphasize enough that our event could
have not been possible without your passion
for the chinese martial arts.
2007 also marks the USA Chin Woo Federation's
20th anniversary, thus making this year
most meaningful to us. With that in mind,
we are very confident that this year will
be the best year ever for this time-honored
event.
Taiji Legacy is hosted by the USA Chin
Woo Federation and sanctioned by the US
Traditional Kungfu Wushu Federation. The
Taiji Legacy will be unique in its own,
gathering all styles of taiji and kungfu
from all parts of the world, making it
a spectacular event. A 72 foot, multi-colored,
illuminated dragon and 20
lion dance demonstration and performances
by all major styles of taiji will be displayed
at the opening of the tournament. A demonstration
by nationally and internationally distinguished
masters will be held Saturday morning,
July 21. On Sunday morning, July 22, we
will host the exciting Sanshou Fights.
Last year’s competition was a success,
drawing in nearly 800 competitors and
3000 spectators to this event. This year,
we are inviting schools from around the
world and anticipate that 900 to 1000
competitors will be participating in this
event! With the support from local and
guest judges and officials, we predict
that this tournament will again be well
organized and run efficiently.
Hosted in the beautiful city of Dallas,
Texas, the Taiji Legacy will be held in
the spacious Plano Centre, conveniently
located approximately 25 minutes from
the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport
and approximately 5 miles from the tournament
hotels.
The beautifully landscaped PLANO CENTRE
is a full-service, multi-purpose facility.
Comfortably accommodating up to 5,000
people in 86,400 square feet, Plano Centre
has accomodated our event in the past
and is our choice for hosting this grand
event this year.
Conveniently
located near a variety of hotels and restaurants;
shopping malls; historic downtown Plano
with its antique shops and beautiful park
settings; PLANO STATION ; and only minutes
from the world famous Southfork Ranch
and all Metroplex attractions.
We
aim not only to make your visit to Dallas
pleasant and memorable, but also to present
you an immensely challenging competition
that you will enjoy. We hope to see you
all!
