WildAid Tiger Claw Championship

The 12th Annual WildAid Tiger Claw Championship will be held at the Tiger Claw Elite Championships on Sunday May 5, 2024.

In 2010, the Year of the Tiger, the Tiger Claw Foundation pledged to support WildAid in its efforts to preserve wild tigers. All the proceeds generated from this Showcase Championship are donated directly to WildAid. The following year, the Tiger Claw Foundation extended that pledge to encompass all the endangered species that WildAid seeks to protect. The WildAid Tiger Claw Championship has been held every year since, expanding in 2015 to include Teen and Pre-teen Champions. It has grown into the most high-profile Showcase Championship of the Tiger Claw Elite Championships.

The Tiger Claw Foundation has donated over $15,000 to WildAid through the WildAid Tiger Claw Championship.

In cooperation with TigerClaw.com, KungFuMagazine.com and WildAid.

The WildAid Tiger Claw Championship is a special "any style, any form" division. It is the only division where Taekwondo and Chinese martial arts can compete against each other; however, Taekwondo has not stepped up in years. There is the adult WildAid Tiger Claw division and two youth divisions: the WildAid Tiger Claw Teen is for competitors ages 17–12 and the WildAid Tiger Claw Cub for ages 11 and under.

HISTORY
