Thank you for Supporting the US Challenge

My Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Since 1988, I have had the honor of walking alongside all of you on this passionate and

heartfelt journey of organizing US Challenge tournaments. Looking back after more

than three decades, my heart is filled with nothing but gratitude.

I want to give special thanks to the grandmasters, teachers, and coaches who have

selflessly served as referees year after year. It is your fairness and integrity that made

the US Challenge the most highly regarded tournament brand. You are the true

backbone of this event.

I also thank every athlete who has come to compete year after year. Seeing your

technical growth, your encouragement for one another, and the friendships formed on

the competition floor brings me great joy and pride. You have made this tournament

not just a contest, but a meeting of hearts.

I am deeply grateful to all the parents from our school. Your selfless support—helping

set up venues and taking on countless roles behind the scenes—made every tournament

possible. Without you, none of this would have run smoothly.

Because of everyone’s collective efforts, the US Challenge achieved not only fairness

and excellence in competitive spirit but also reached a higher ideal: quietly spreading

the Chinese cultural values of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and honor. It has been

my greatest honor to meet all of you and share so many wonderful years together.

I have decided to dedicate the second half of my life more fully to my own students and

daily teaching. Therefore, I will no longer host US Challenge tournaments. However, I

will still gladly participate in and support the tournaments organized by others,

cheering you on from the sidelines.

I sincerely wish you all the best on your continuing journey in martial arts. May the

spirit of martial arts forever light our way.

With warmest regards,

Your eternal friend,

Christopher Pei

尊敬的各位武术界同仁、朋友们:

大家好。

自1988年以来,我有幸与大家一同走过了组织武术比赛这条充满热血与温情的道

路。三十余年光阴荏苒,回首望去,心中满怀感激。

在此,我要特别感谢那些多年来无私奉献、担任裁判工作的大师、老师和教练们。

正是你们的公正与正义,让“美国精英赛(US Challenge)”成为了口碑最高的武

术比赛品牌。你们是这场比赛真正的脊梁。

我还要感谢每一年都坚持来参加比赛的运动员们。每年看到你们技术的进步,看到

你们在赛场上的互动、鼓励与友谊,都让我无比欣慰。你们让比赛不仅仅是一场较

量,更成为了一次次心灵的相遇。

我更要感谢我们学院的所有家长们。你们无私地支持我们,帮助布置场地,承担比

赛活动中的各种工作。没有你们,就没有每一场顺利进行的比赛。

正是因为大家的共同努力,美国精英赛不仅做到了竞赛精神中的公平与卓越,更达

到了更高的境界,把中国文化中的“礼、义、廉、耻”悄然传播开来。能与大家相

遇,并一起分享这么多年美好的时光,我感到无比的荣幸。

我决定将后半生的时间与精力,更多地回归到自己的学生与日常教学中。因此,我

将不再主办武术比赛活动。但我依然会以参与者和支持者的身份,出现在大家组织

的比赛中,为大家加油助威。

祝大家在未来的武术之路上一帆风顺,万事如意。愿武术的精神永远照亮我们前行

的路。

你们永远的朋友

裴康凯
