2005

July 1st-3rd - Orlando, FL, USA - '7th Annual International Chinese Martial Arts Championship' - hosted by Nick Scrima. Click here for more info. Apparently had nearly 900 competitors last year.

August 5-7th, 2005, Las Vegas, NV - US Wushu Union's 2005 Nationals, held on the campus of UNLV in Las Vegas (having a wushu tournament in Vegas, what a great idea! :-) Click here for more info. USWU's national ranking and team selection, and cash ($$$) for grand champions. USWU events are famous for their professionalism and fairness. I recommend checking it out!

August 6-7th, 2005, S. Windsor, CT - USAWKF's 2005 Nationals and US Team trials. Its rather sad that the USAWKF waited til May 5th to announce their team trials and nationals and chose to do them on the exact same weekend as another tournament. This event will serve as the team trials for the 2005 US Wushu Team that will compete at the World Wushu Games. But as I have mentioned innumerous times on the wushu news page, the USAWKF is infamous for running expensive, highly non-transparent and generally less than fair events. (as shown by the 2001 and 2003 team trials). Buyer Beware!
