Welcome to the

3rd

Pan American Kungfu & Taijiquan Championships

On behalf of the Pan America Wushu Federation (PAWF), I would like to

welcome athletes, officials, coaches and friends to the 3

rd

Pan American

Kungfu & Taijiquan Championships in San Jose, California.

This newly popular wushu event gathers many talented athletes from Pan America here in California

for a hemispheric competition that will yield outstanding champions and cement our bonds between

North, Central and South America. Since its inception in 1995, PAWF has seen our sport grow steadily

in the Americas, and events such as this help us forge our future champions. The Americas boast a rich

and varied history of traditional kungfu, and through our events and our ever-widening network this

wushu family plays an integral role in preserving kungfu’s heritage and core values. Today PAWF

counts nearly two-dozen member countries who meet and exchange knowledge and friendship in

regional, national and international competition, judges training, and choosing athletes and officials to

represent PAWF members abroad.

I look forward to seeing familiar faces of old friends and meeting new, young competitors who will

perhaps be taking the stage for the first time. This important event will nurture our athletes and

promote our sport more widely, and we join as a Pan America family here to move wushu forward

together.

On behalf of PAWF I would like to thank Li’s Wushu Academy and the National Tai Chi Wellness

Foundation (NTCWF) for their tireless commitment in organizing this event. And no competition can

shine without the judges, officials and volunteers who spend countless hours behind the scenes and on

the floor making things go smoothly – thank you for your continued hard work and efforts. I hope

everyone will enjoy the warm hospitality of sunny and beautiful San Jose, and I wish all athletes the

best of luck in their competition here at the 3rd Pan American Kungfu & Taijiquan Championships.

Sincerely,

Anthony Goh

President of Pan American Wushu Federation (PAWF)

July 12, 2019 Dear Friends:

I would like to congratulate The Pan-American Wushu Federation on their 3rd American Kungfu & Taijiquan Championships (PAKC) and US National Talou Team Trials. I am excited for this event to be hosted in California for the first time.

As the State Assemblymember representing the 25th Assembly and as Chair on the Arts, Entertainment, Sports, Tourism, and Internet Media committee I understand the importance of promoting Martial Arts in the United States.

On behalf of the California State Assembly, I would like to commend you for your commitment to preserving the traditions of Chinese Martial Arts. I am very impressed with your emphasis on the cultivation of morality and self-restraint and proud to continue my support.

Thank you and please do not hesitate to contact my office if I can ever be of assistance.
