You Will Regret You Didn’t Attend KNX15 AWESOME!

VIDEO: See what happens at KNX!

It’s unlike any seminar you’ve ever seen…

KNX15 was probably the best Karate event in the history of the universe – and today I want to tell you all about it.

Reporting about a fight event such as mixed martial arts is not an easy task to do by yourself. However, by using the basics, you can do a good job for your own blog and get the results you need to develop quality articles. Here are a few tips that you can use to gather your results.

The martial arts community is very active in the DC metro area. You can read about local news in DC at Mixed Martial Arts in DC News. MMA in DC News covers local martial arts events such as MMA fights, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tournaments, and Muay Thai events.

This year, attendees and instructors came together from 18 countries across North and South America, Europe, Africa and Okinawa to share their enthusiasm and knowledge in Karate.

Before I say anything more about the event, I’d like to make a comment on the “momo-iro” (peach blossom, or pink) belt that everyone are required to wear at this event.

From adults just out of college, to a number of us with greyer hair, throughout the event I had no idea of the grades or experience of my fellow participants.

Grade was not relevant.

So, what was this experience?

Well, I’ve been fortunate enough over the years to have attended and taught at a number of national and international seminars at home in Britain and abroad, both in single disciplines such as Karate or multiple martial arts.

Without a doubt, forgetting for a moment the high quality of the instruction, this was the smoothest running event I have ever seen.

In other local news in DC, Master Lloyd Irvin held his ground breaking MMA Millionnaire Blueprint event at the L’Enfante Hotel in Washington, DC. This event attracted approximately 200 martial artists from all over the world including grappling world champions, UFC fighters, and a UFC Champion. The feedback from the community was overwhelmingly positive.

For those of you that have read Jesse’s blog, this attention to detail should come as no surprise.

Jesse kicked off the event on Friday by bringing us all together for a training session on four bunkai (applications) he had developed for an Okinawan kata called Niseishi, immediately identifiable to me even though I practice the Shotokan version of this kata, Nijushiho.

On the outskirts of the metro area, Fairfax Jiu Jitsu was featured as local news in DC, demonstrating their mixed martial arts skills at their MMA class in Herndon, VA. The fighters featured MMA fighters, grappling champions, and muay thai fighters. The MMA class was run by Bill Easlick and had fighters such as Bryan Lane (Operation Octagon Champion) and Hiro Perera.
