Sifu Don Hamby's 4th Annual Gathering of the Masters

Please enjoy the footage that we (Plum) shot at Sifu Don Hamby's 4th Annual Gathering of the Masters, an exhibition of long-studied and highly trained lovers of Chinese martial arts. Watching the skills displayed we are reminded of the power and beauty in this vast art.
This well-attended showcase in Monterey Park (Los Angeles), sponsored by the Traditional Chinese Martial Arts Federation, offered top level teachers displaying a rainbow of styles (see below).
We also want to mention, alongside the inspiring demonstrations, the incomparable attitudes of friendship and support these Gatherings display; certainly, one must bow first to Sifu Hamby for imbuing every moment with grateful and gracious acknowledgement; but all of the participants-whether performers or audience members-displayed authentic enthusiasm for their own styles as well as others'. The spirit of competition was overwhelmed by the spirit of cooperation.
If you have only attended tournaments, or never spent an afternoon watching teachers and senior students share their arts, do yourself a favor and circle the date for the 5th Annual Gathering next year.
