| Representatives
from Tien Shan Pai schools across the world (Germany, United
Kingdom, and several schools from the United States) recently
made the long journey to Singapore to compete in the 2nd TWKSF
World Tournament. Though only a handful of TSP students were
able to make the trip, those that did performed extremely
well, placing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in events ranging from forms,
weapons, and two-man set divisions to full-contact Lei Tai
fighting.
