WEKAF Western Regional Tournament Saturday November 7th, 2009 Hilton Los Angeles Airport 5711 West Century Boulevard Los Angeles, CA 90045

Masters, instructors, competitors, and tournament guests, let me be the first to invite you to the World Eskrima Kali Arnis Federation Western Region Championships to be held on Saturday November 7th, 2009 at the Hilton Hotel located near the Los Angeles International Airport. This tournament is geared to promote and propagate the sport of Eskrima, Kali, and Arnis through the World Eskrima Kali Arnis Federation (WEKAF). It is our hope with this competition to find qualified candidates, who will participate next year in March for the National Tournament (location still being determined) and then late July for the 11th WEKAF World Championships to be held at Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. One thing different about this year’s tournament is that it is not a stand-alone tournament like it has been in the past. Our tournament will be held in conjunction with the Pacific Media Expo (PMX). The convention has been showcasing mainstream pop culture and media out of Asia to the American public. Here you will find many activities such as Japanese Anime, Hong Kong Action, Korean Drama, Asian Fashion Shows, Electronic Gaming, Martial Arts demonstrations, and many more other interesting trends and interests coming out of Asia. This will allow us to introduce the Filipino Martial Arts to a new demographic of people as well as give our competitors a chance to experience other media while waiting to compete. I’m sure you will all be excited to attend this year’s competition because of this. PMX has approved to give pre-registered tournament spectators from participating schools a full day convention access pass for only $15. All heads of schools and competitors who pre-register will be given a free full day convention pass as well. If you’re only interested in watching the tournament, then entry fees are only $10 at the door. The LAX Hilton is also offering rooms for $99 a night if you reserve them before October 22nd, 2009 on the PMX website. For more information regarding the Pacific Media Expo, please feel free to explore their website at www.pacificmediaexpo.com. To help the tournament run more quickly and efficiently, we will be having early weigh-in and registration the night before, Friday November 6th, 2009, from 7:00pm – 10:00pm. That way you can wake up bright and early ready to compete at the 9:30 start time. Just check with the information booth once you arrive at the Hilton for registration location. Make sure you pay your yearly WEKAF dues before the tournament. There will be individuals available before the tournament to handle any payment or issues you may have with this. With that being said, I hope that you are looking forward to this year’s tournament. Thank you very much and I hope to see you and your school at our tournament.

Humbly,

Steve del Castillo Chief Instructor 12Pares Esgrima Self Defense Club WEKAF Western Region Director 2009
