Hunt Valley, Maryland, July 23, 2006. Students of C.K. Chu's Chu Tai Chi school (www.ChuTaiChi.com) battled fighters from the U.S. and the world to take multiple honors at the U.S. Chinese Kuoshu Federation's 2005 US International Kuoshu Championship. See highlights of 2005 title matches; 2006 video to come.
John Signoriello won three fights in a single day (Saturday 7/22/06) to defend his middle-weight 'b' championship belt. Signoriello took top honors for the second straight year, defeating the 2004 champ in one of three tough elimination rounds. Signoriello's triumphs again demonstrated the versatility of his tai chi training against more specialized hard styles. These Lei Tai kickboxing rules included an open platform and open-finger gloves for grappling.
Chu Tai Chi students also took four push hands medals. Rene Gonzalez won first place in limited step heavyweight push-hands competition, and second place in moving step. Kate Wasilewski won second place in both limited step and moving step.
