The WildAid Tiger Claw Elite Showcase
The 13th Annual WildAid Tiger Claw Elite Showcase was held at the Tiger Claw Elite Championships on Saturday May 17, 2025.
The 2025 Champions are:
WildAid Adult (18+): Zhao, Youtong - Shaolin Temple Fremont
WildAid Teen (12-17): Liao, Randolph - Sun's Kung Fu Academy
WildAid Cub (11 & Under): Taff, Timothy - Legend Kung Fu Academy
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 $17,600 to WildAid through the WildAid Tiger Claw Championship.
