There's been some discussion of the TCEC on another forum. I'm linking this here just so we don't get redundant questions, although I'd much rather take up the discussion here since I'm on this forum more (obviously).

I'll personally be at the Ultimate Internationals this weekend, so come say 'hi' if you see me. I always enjoy meeting forum members face-to-face. I'll be there Saturday for the Tiger Claw Elite qualifiers.
Man, I'm just talking to myself here so I can ttt this above the Able/Browning flame war. What an odd permuation of that thread...

Do a lot of people have time and money to go to events like this all the time?
Must be a lot of rich people doing these things. ???
And if you're good, you can find money. We even have a special Tiger Claw Elite Championship Fund for our leading champions - see our charitable branch at www.TigerClawFoundation.org.

So that chick gets paid for being young and cute and doing martial arts? Dang ...
"“We learn poise and presentation, and how to get over stage fright,” said Nicole, a Discovery Bay resident and sop****re at Liberty High School. At age 14, she stands 5'8" and has blossomed competitively in the last two years, even though she’s always had a flair for center stage. Modeling since age 4, she also sings, acts, water skis, plays piano and dances at Expressions Dance Company in Brentwood. "
Something isn't right about this. I mean, her parents obviously pay a lot of $ so she can do these things.
It seems like a charitable foundation should be giving stuff to underprivileged kids or something.
Okay, I need to stop complaining. Anyway, that's pretty cool ... 14 and already more accomplished than I am at over 30. LOL

Actually, we're not paying Nicole Gerry any cash. We did donate some uniforms to her for her work representing martial arts at the teen pageants. Please keep in mind the mission statement of the Tiger Claw Foundation: The Tiger Claw Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to promoting martial artists and assisting martial artists in achieving their goals. If you know any underpriviledged martial arts kids, please let us know.
