The WKC (Original & Best)
The Next Stage for the WKC 2020 |
|
Consequently because of events that have been
transpiring behind closed doors as they say, much will be disclosed shortly. We
can definitely announce though, lot more countries will be present in The only reason the Club Championships was
planned, was because of the falling numbers at recent world championships. Which as we said, will not now be necessary to stage due to the
fantastic response from around the world for our 2020 World Championships. .The
George Carnall Sports Centre (venue for all WKC events for the past few
decades) is going into refurbishment later this year. So they have let us have
the place for the WKC 12th National Championships (and All
medal winners automatically gain entry onto the So
after the WKC Nationals in January all the rest of the WKC promoted tournaments i.e. Samurai Challenge, WKC Europeans, and
FSK's ,will have to be staged at another venue in This
is why no dates have been published yet for next year after the Nationals. Except of course for the World Championships. November 6th
& 7th weekend has been chosen to stage this event. A week later than
usual, simply because the week before is Halloween weekend. Plus of course in
November visiting countries will get the benefit of cheaper flights. The
whole of 2019 has seen a massive rise in attendances at WKC events far more
than other years. So now we need to work on encouraging teams from other
countries to take part. Our Championships are fair & friendly, fun, run on time, reasonably
priced and exciting to be at. Not our words!....these
are some of the comments made by competitors and their families
this year. So evidently we are on the right track. We continually introduce new
ideas to keep WKC events fresh and interesting not forgetting value for money! Of
course, we hasten to add, we don't always get everything right all the time.
Flaws in certain areas do pop up, which we don't ignore by the way. We have a
great and totally dedicated set of referees and judges and officials that
ensure everything runs as it should. Hopefully
too, next season there will be some extra sections to qualify in. And maybe the
start of a new discipline (Low Kick) which is getting introduced plus a new
Division on points fighting . Also
the WKC has just established a Sports Swords World Body headed by Colin Beddow
(more on that early 2020). So it would
seem everything is all adding up to something quite spectacular in the New year. Because
of the limited staff we have here at the WKC, we are trying to streamline our
services. Much of what we do on a daily basis is normally by phone, email etc
etc. We felt by offering services online (no staff needed) it quickens much of
what we do. Hence earlier in the year we began our online Black
belt Certificates ratification and Dan gradings . Which
when it was introduced, was construed to be something totally different, by the
single visioned keyboard bell ends , that
trawl FB daily digging up negative aspects on the martial arts for material to
witter on about.. If I
see one more face book comment "our black belts are etc etc etc" I will go
crazy...... And
yet had those few critics looked on our Black belt Roll of Honour on the
website which all WKC Dan grades have their names on and seen the illustrious
names from the martial arts worldwide over the past 12 years or more they would have
perhaps withheld their inane comments. But as they say, if you don't have your
critics then you are doing something wrong. Our
New Exclusive WKC black belt lapel pin has now arrived. All WKC certificates
awarded from now on will get the pin free with their certificate. Payment page
etc going on line next week for Dan grades outside of the WKC. Who will be able
to purchase them at a nominal fee. If you are not a
Dan grade and you purchase one and wear it, don't be surprised if some passing
stranger challenges you about it. Everything today, simply everything, is open
to abuse. Fake this and fake that. Life is slowly becoming one huge Blag! The
times are they are a changing and unfortunately not for the better. The
list so far for countries attending the WKC Worlds next year is growing amazingly rapidly, and
surprisingly. And that is just through FB and all the aftermath feedback we
have been getting from this years worlds. Which I felt was a little
disappointing turnout wise. But evidently not! Out
there in martial arts land people have been sitting up and taking notice of
what we are doing and it seems, liking it. Our
WKC website is also getting a complete overhaul with more online services being
offered. Plus two new avenues of sponsorship have been offered for next year, So things are looking up and definitely moving forwards. Presidents page is getting an overhaul with none action
presidents getting taken off and new countries and representatives taking over.
WKC
Tournament dates and venues will posted early as
possible next year once we have verified and secured the new venue. The 2020
dates already posted on our website are a little ambiguous at the moment but
date clarification will be done as quickly as we have the venue. On a final note we
would like to thank the many individuals that make up the WKC Tournament Staff
that not only work tirelessly in their own individual sections to make these
tournaments run smoothly with fairplay and safety observed at all times, but
also, are totally reliable tournament after tournament at being ready to give
their all to the sport they love so much. From me, the WKC,
