Push Hands VICTORY BillShaolin Chi Mantis Push Hands requires each contestant to keep both their feet on the ground. Utilizing pushing, avoiding, and all Tai Chi moves except punching and kicking, and also prohibiting Qin Na arm and joint locks, (no grabbing), the Tai Chi skills, coordination, and balance will determine the victor.

Shaolin Chi Mantis has developed rules that have been utilized by many organizations including the Amateur Athletic Union.

As a special bonus: Shaolin Chi Mantis has developed a sport not found in any other tournaments yet, CRANE WARS. Created by Buddha Zhen for the Tai Chi Youth nonprofit organization, this sport is especially loved by adults. This CRANE WARS event is offered at no additional charge at all SCM Push Hands Tournaments.

Closing Ceremonies
**6:00pm

*Division Championships are FREE and consist of the First Place winners competing for ONE CHAMPIONSHIP AWARD per Division. Please inform the Registration Booth if you will not be competing at the end of the day for this award so that the events can be properly planned and scheduled. Each Division Championship must include at least 2 competitors to be scheduled.

**Closing Ceremonies will begin whenever all tournament events have been completed.

DIVISIONS: All participants will be grouped by Belt Rank, Chinese Gongfu Style, and age. Events lacking sufficient numbers of competitors will be combined to create competitive events of at least 3 persons. Should the combination of events still yield only one competitor, the sole competitor must perform to receive their award.

AGE DETERMINATION: The athlete's age on July 1, 2002, shall determine the proper age division.

RANK DETERMINATION: The athlete's rank, despite actual rank certified by athlete's school, shall be determined by years of experience in Chinese Martial Arts. e.g. A student studies one year in Hung Gar and one year in Shaolin Gongfu = 2 years experience = Intermediate Level. Korean, Japanese and other martial arts do not apply, however, the athlete may petition the Tournament Director for a division rank upgrade. For more information on Belt Ranking and contacting the Tournament Director, see the "Tournament Ranking of Shaolin Chi Mantis & Tai Chi Youth" webpage.

ENTRY DEADLINE: Preregistrationis advised to enable better event planning. All applications and fees must be submitted before the start of Opening Ceremonies on the day of the event. Late entries will not be accepted. Spectator tickets may be purchased at any time until the event is completed.

AAU MEMBERSHIP: All athletes, coaches, and officials must be members of the AAU Amateur Athletic Union and be able to present their AAU membership card at the time of registration (check-in). This is a requirement of our insurance policy and the event location owner. AAU memberships may be purchased when registering on the day of the event and will be effective immediately. For more information and registration forms online visit the Southern Pacific AAU website.

AAU RULES: A PDF version of the AAU Chinese Martial Arts Tournament Rules may be obtained from the AAU by clicking here. Shaolin Chi Mantis Rules, when different from AAU rules, will prevail.

ENTRY FEE: First event is $25 and $5 each additional event. Payments can be made ONLINE. Checks or money orders should be made payable to SHAOLIN CHI MANTIS.

QUALIFICATION: All participants must be students of an actual Chinese Martial Art Style. Kempo, Taekwondo, and Kenpo are not Chinese martial arts. Any tournament registration not including evidence of Chinese martial arts training will not be accepted. Unaccepted applicants will be provided a Spectator Pass. NO REFUNDS will be made for any reasons.

OFFICIALS: Advanced Level martial artists and Masters wishing to judge, referee or assist at any Shaolin Chi Mantis must complete a JUDGING SEMINAR.

AWARDS: Certificate Awards or trophies will be presented to the 1st Place, 2nd Place, and 3rd Place winners of each event. If only one competitor is competing, even after the combining of related events, the single competitor must still perform to attain the 1st Place Award.

UNIFORMS: Traditional Chinese martial arts uniforms with or without Mandarin collars are required. All uniforms should have cloth type "frog buttons." Japanese "Ghis", T-shirts, or uniforms with designs, lettering, or logos on the back, front, or pant legs will not be allowed. Only two (2) patches will be allowed on any uniform: one (1) school emblem, and one (1) AAU no larger than 6" in diameter.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT: Shin guards, forearm guards, chest protection, groin protection, and certified safety glasses with straps may be used if provided by the competitor. Other protection may be allowed per approval of the Officials.

WEAPONS: All weapons must be approved by an SCM Official prior to the weapon event. Unsafe or disqualified weapons will result in the disqualification of the competitor prior to the event unless it is replaced with an acceptable weapon.

DISQUALIFICATION: The following items may not be worn during competition: headbands, jewelry, T-shirts, metal hair clips, or any other article deemed inappropriate or potentially hazardous by the SCM Officials. Fingernails must be cut short for Tournament Combat Divisions. Only sports safety glasses or other approved eyewear is allowed during any Tournament Combat Divisions.

ARBITRATION: All Judges' decisions are final. No arbitration will take place. Complaints or suggestions can be submitted in writing to the SCM & TCY Tournament Committee so that future tournaments can be improved.

SUGGESTION: Attend the seminars and Judging Seminars prior to each tournament. This is a good opportunity to have your uniforms, weapons, and criteria approved BEFORE the tournament.
