Tomorrow is
the start of this year’s WEBBS World Congress and is shaping up to be a great
event.
For those of
you who may not be aware of what WEBBS is, it stands for World Elite Black Belt
Society. WEBBS is a non-political organization created by Soke Bryan Cheek that
is open to all countries and all forms of martial arts. Its mandate is to
foster the growth of martial arts through the exchange of knowledge. Each year
a world congress is held at a different location around the world ensuring that
all have access high quality martial arts instruction in a verity of martial
arts. This year’s world congress is being held in Barcelona Spain.
Every world
congress takes place over four days, Thursday to Sunday. Thursday is the wine
and cheese meet and greet / opining ceremony. Friday and Saturday are full days
of training with a banquet Saturday night. Sunday is a half day of training and
the closing ceremony.
You do NOT
need to be a member of WEBBS to attend one of these events. You only need to be
willing to learn and share your knowledge with others.
This will be
my third world congress, I attended Montreal (Canada, 2012) and Lisbon
(Portugal, 2013) previously and will be my second congress as one of the
instructors.
If you can
ever make one of these event I would highly recommend it as they are well worth
the time and money.
Below are a
few videos for the last two world congresses. This is only a small selection of
the amazing instructors that have been at the last two world congresses shearing
their knowledge.
By the way
that’s me with Renshi Bryan Aylward, sore figures, elbows and lots of bruises
but is was well worth it!
As always is
you are looking for more great videos or to learn the wonderful art of
