The second WSAF Junior, Youth, Cadet and Senior World Championships were held in August 2019, at the Mesa College, San Diego, USA.
There were so many people involved in the planning and execution of the WSAF World Aikido Championships that it is difficult to count them all. Here are just a few of the people who made this happen.
- WSAF Executive Board: Ilya Solonitsyn, Robert Dziubla, Robert Jones, Yamagata Masaki, Alan Higgs
- Workshop Instructors: Nariyama Tetsuro, Robert King, Inoue Yoshiomi, Alan Higgs, Robert Jones, Maurice Stevens
- Chief Judge: Sean Flynn
- Mat/Table Supervisors: Kurt and Donna Froelich
- Tournament Manager: Jex Stroud
- Media and Web: Erik DiVietro
Andy and Chioko MacNeill worked closely with Mesa College and their facilities staff to support the program and provide our space and technology.
The national team captains and coaches worked tireless with their participants, transporting and lodging them once they were in San Diego and ensuring they were all at their events.
And of course, our players – both adults and youth – who played with intensity and skill to not only compete with each other but also to complement one another.
Thank you to everyone!
