In 2007, the first CKKA annual gathering was introduced as a way for our CKKA clubs to meet up, train together, share stories, memorialize former members, and to learn from Si Tai Gung Chong. This now yearly tradition has also enabled students to present their skills in tournament competition, have their animal forms certified for teaching instruction, and their Martial Arts proficiency ranked and certified by a panel of senior CKKA instructors along with Si Tai Gung Chong for various Black Belt/Sash Rankings.
