…This first WTKA stage!!! It was a wonderful success and above all a great experience, personally and professionally.

The location is beautiful and functional and exept for food, which honestly was not the best, as master Luca Aiello reminds us,

represents the best that can exist in Italian boot, and, as far as I could, confirmed for the next year. We'll see!

I do not think that in Italy there can be nothing better. In my honored career I

visited Sportilia, Ciocco, Coverciano and Rimini, that are the elite sport

centers but no one can compares, to my humble opinion, to this that  WTKA

has chosen to Lignanao Sabbiadoro.

A complete and modern sports hall at our disposal, unspoiled nature with 50 hectares of

pine trees. So a really nice place as frame for us. The only unkind thing was the weather

that not helped us but maybe it was better that way cause the stage has become the

protagonist and the beach has not stolen us much time.

gathered in this part of Italy on our first outing is not a joke.

Federations that exist from more than 30 years can hardly succeed

and to do the same and are forced to enter the national convention,

the binding of the collegiate national governing bodies and so on.

And thinking that we are missing a number of priority categories for

us, that for one reason or another did not participate, engaged in

other tasks.

This is the only bad thing otherwise we would have a veritable human

tide and with serious logistical problems since Saturday and

Sunday, the tatami was completely full and we would not have known how to resolve the situation!

Next year we will be pushed up to find a solution since the expectations make us think of a much larger number of participants and

therefore the need for more space. We'll see!

Now the compactness of our group is a constant and encourages us to strive to meet the growing needs of all in the best form and the

witness to that by the participants are really rewarding.

The feeling is that the stage has hit the core, both in technical and human view. The feedbacks are all positive and this thing can only

rewards us, thinking the amount of work that we’ve spent.

It’s been a most pleasant human experience before the technical, indeed having the opportunity to spend three days together, from this

point of view, is really priceless for a mutual and increasing knowledge and, even if for one reason or another everyone was always busy,

there was a time to chat each other, which during the lessons was really impossible to do.

It would be certainly other similar occasions. And maybe more long term, the group comes out completely fortified and full of positive

energy. For me it was really a nice experience, technical and human as i said above, and over all sharing the excitement that only martial

arts can issue with many other fans is the most beautiful thing. If you then consider that to hold the ranks of technical management were

some of the greatest masters of the world in their respective disciplines, I must say that the circle was almost perfect.

Master Iwao Yoshioka for Karate, Luis Gutierrez for the defense, Petar Turkovic for Nambudo and the magical team of master Alfio Romanut

and brothers Giorgio andArmen Petrosyan held the line with great authority and humility demonstrating that the greatest do not need to be

always protagonists.

Each of them was able to do this in great way, without overdoing, without forcing frantic pace, but with a natural charisma and a first

class technical knowledge that has accompanied all the fans over these fantastic three days that as the only negative side, had to be

ended too soon. We just have to learn from these experiences and wait for the next opportunity to repeat these special moments and try

to relive the same emotions.

Once again, if ever it was needed, WTKA has confirmed his strengths, first of all a sense of friendship

and belonging to all its members with a connotation of family type, a united group, cohesive, motivated and with an extraordinary

passion that makes us say once again: "Passion lives here !!!!!
