The Wushu Club hosts a Wushu tournament at Berkeley every year in which Taekwondo always helps out. The Wushu tournament usually takes place in April, a month after the UC Open. To ensure that they have the help of the Taekwondo Club for their Wushu tournament, we can always count on them to help us out with the UC Open. Without each other's help, our tournaments would certainly not run as smoothly as they do.

I find that I usually end up working Security for the Wushu tournament, which is exactly what I want to do. For some reason, I always seem to end up doing Security for the Team Ring where competitors are trying out for the U.S. Team. I am not sure how that always happens :-). At the very least, I avoid the Tai Chi ring. Not that Tai Chi is not exciting, but there is only so much cheering you can do for a good round of Push-Hands.
