HIGHLAND W.K.A. COMPETITION TEAM HISTORY
CANADIAN & WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
HIGHLAND
COMPETITION TEAM
Sensei Greg Spooner 2007 Canadian Nationals
Silver Medal Winner !
Our Highland Competition Team in Dundas started officially in 1991 with Sensei Lane as the head coach and competitor with the team and has continued over the years under his direction. Our main focus of competition was mainly tournament circuits in Southern Ontario and USA. In 1997 the club competition team took another direction and set it goals toward International Competition. From this time on we have had competitors competing at Provincial, Canadian and World level each year. We look forward to new competitors who wish to compete at local level or make their goal to be a competitor for the Canadian National Team and travel to various countries to become International Champions.
Hopefully with our qualified staff, coaches and trainers with many years of experience we will make these dreams come true for many competitors who dare to risk it all and reach for the stars.
