Every year, Shifu Ron Quan, the Senior Director and Co-founder of the East Wind Foundation for Youth, produces an extraordinary Kung Fu competition for a great cause. This year, the Tempt One ALS Foundation gathered some of the most prestigious and well known Kung Fu schools and mentors of Los Angeles, northern California, Las Vegas, and even as far as Colorado. The primary purpose of the tournament was to gain awareness for the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis illness, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease and Charcot Disease, which involves the death of neurons, characterized by stiff muscles, muscle twitching, and gradual difficulty in speaking, swallowing, and eventually breathing. As you can imagine, it is unfortunate for so many people who face this disease and are unable to help themselves in any way or form. Fortunately, there are many benevolent people and organizations that are fundraising for the cause, in order to help find a cure, and care for these people who face such inexplicable odds. It brings me great joy, to know that Shifu Ron Quan has successfully mobilized much of the Kung Fu community to participate for a great cause. Every penny that was contributed to the competition went toward the ALS patients who are suffering from the disease. There is no greater joy than coming together as a community for a greater cause. The event started with introductions of the most prominent Kung Fu Mentors and instructors who participated. After the introduction, there were many performances by local schools featuring music and unique choreography. Several of these schools were honored with awards of recognition for outstanding contribution and participation. The grand finale was an extraordinary Chinese Lion Dance performance by the Luohan School of Shaolin of Las Vegas, Nevada, lead by Shifu Steven Baugh. The performance was very inspiring for all of the spectators, featuring live percussion instruments and unique Chinese cultural artistry.
