Hannah and I went down to watch and show support for my classmates. The event ran from about 9:30-2pm with 79 different demonstrations from many different schools.
Mainly tai chi hand forms of various styles, but also internal martial arts like BaGua and XingYi, and some weapons forms including a Japanese sword school.
My tai chi school had three demonstrations. We arrived in time for the second, a combined demonstration by the kung-fu kids group and the XingYi class (which Id attended briefly last year)
Last year Id participated in 2 demonstrations. This year none of my classes were directly involved, although I new many of the participants from various classes.
The final demonstration from we saw was a combination of Yang? sword form and Combined-style 42-form with some XingYi or perhaps BaGua tai chi at the end

Hannah sat with me and watched patiently for two hours or so, although she wasn't particularly interested. After an hour I honored my promise to take her to the nearby playground. But it was so hot she soon wanted to come back to the cool of the stadium.
