The Shaolin Zen Concert 5/9/9 California Theater, San Jose
This is coming from the Shaolin Cultural Center in Fremont, Shi Yanran's group again. It's the Firebird Youth Chinese Orchestra, who also performed for Magnificent Shaolin, which was the San Jose performance during the Shaolin Temple Day 2009 festivities. I thought FYCO's performance of General's Mandate (or as they say 'General's Command') was the highlight of that show.

There's our tournament in June
I've just confirmed that we will have two stages for demos. We had four Shaolin demo teams at Martial Arts Benefit for Quake Victims. Since that was a benefit for the Sichuan Quake, we had a lot more mainlanders volunteer, but I'll daresay we'll have some Shaolin representatives at our upcoming event.
See Tiger Claw’s KungFuMagazine.com Championship & Shark City Nationals and be there on June 27th, 2009, at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California.
:D
Tiger Claw’s KungFuMagazine.com Championship
Among the many demonstrations we have scheduled for our Tiger Claw’s KungFuMagazine.com Championship, we will indeed have a Shaolin contingent to represent. Demonstrations from Pure Shaolin Kung Fu, Shaolin Kung Fu Chan and Ben's Shaolin are all confirmed to be showcased during the day. One of these Shaolin troupes will be featured in the Night Time Finals Show.
Deshan is already gone home
He just had some 'business' and that's done. He didn't even know there was a tournament. :rolleyes:
any events around July 24 or 25?
I'll be in the area next weekend. I'll like to check out any martial arts events if possible. Thanks for any info.

Again from Shaolin Temple Fremont
Shi Yanran and the S.F. CNY parade
I caught some of the delayed broadcast of the S.F. CNY parade on Ch 36. I was surfing between Winter Olympics commercials. I saw Shi Yanran's group right behind the Miss Chinatown float, and then they broke to commercial. Kim Yun-Na was up next for her Gala skate, so I didn't go back to see Yanran's group. I did catch Tat Mau Wong's group and Yau Kung Moon's group.

Footage of the MATCHA demo of Shi Yanran's school
MATCHA Shaolin Temple USA monks
That room is really tight in the Asian Art. I've seen demos there before (the last one was a mochi pounding ceremony for New Years) and it's always standing room only.
