The 2009 Health and Martial Arts Festival is being hosted by the Tai Chi Club of Kutztown University. It will be held at Kutztown University in Kutztown PA.  Kutztown is about 50 miles north west of Philadelphia, and 80 miles due east from New York, New York.

There are not enough rewards in this world, so the Taijiquan Enthusiasts Organization plans to do its part to recognize those among us who go the extra mile, put forth the extra effort, and demonstrate extra ethics. This year we got enough nominations for two awards: Instructor of the Year (which we had to combine with Grand Instructor of the year because we didn't have enough nominations separately) and Taiji Event Promoter of the Year. [we also got one nomination for Research of the Year (Dr. Yang Yang), but because there was only one, we will hold on to that until next year and hopefully we will get more.]

You can help spread the word about the 2009 Health and Martial Arts Festival.  One thing you can do is download, print and distribute the registration flyer . 

You can also look for someone to become a sponsor and place an ad in the program: here is the flyer for that.

You can also encourage people to become members so they can vote for their favorite for the Enthusiasts Choice awards: here is the ballot for that.

Also sign up for a user name on this website so you can add your comments and events.

And don't forget to join the TJQE !   If you are a member, you can volunteer for the Festival and/or cast your vote for the Enthusiasts Choice Awards.

We encourage everyone to attend the Taijiquan Symposium.  Click here for the brochure.
