The club’s founder Daniel Wu will sit in on an hour of today’s practice before heading to the screening of his new film “Overheard 2” at the Regal Valley River Center Stadium. Wu is visiting as a special guest of the annual Cinema Pacific Film Festival. Pictures and video will definitely follow the event, but for now here’s an article highlighting Wu’s visit in The Register-Guard and a 2007interview conducted by Brandon Sugiyama, another former member and coach who Wu trained.

UPDATE: A big thank you to Daniel for taking the time to visit us and. We really can’t thank you enough, and it was definitely an honor and inspiration to meet you. We’d also like to thank Henry Ho for sending us pictures of the practice.

Recently (4/6-4/8), the club was invited to help with Northwest Wushu and Seattle Wushu Center’s annual demo and seminar at Sakura-Con, an anime convention held in Seattle Washington. Northwest Wushu’s primary coach is Tian Yuan Li, a former China Champion who also did the motion capture for the characters Xianghua, Kilik, and Ivy in the Soul Calibur video games.

Brinna Keillor, Kenney Hersch, Paul Dargan, and Jessica Linder helped with the seminar on the following day (Saturday) and had some fun at the con afterwards.
