WKA Sparring Seminar Highlights !!
9X World Champion Ben Stewart
Thanks to our WKA President Ben Stewart for two amazing seminars that he put on for several clubs in this area. I'm sure that everyone took home several things that will make their kumite much more effective in the future with competition. One of his black belts and student Vicky Marcotte was also on hand to help with new workout techniques and show us some of her skills that made her a world champion. Thanks for all your effort in coming to help us motivate the WKA growth in this area.
