- (1888PressRelease) September 29, 2010 - Ateru Worldwide Association is a melting pot and growing community of martial artists, Bounty Hunters and Bouncers, Personal Security Experts, Military and Law Enforcement Professionals, and MMA full contact fighters that share techniques and knowledge on the web, in journals, at summer camps, as well as in WORLD MARTIAL ARTS CONFERENCES AND SYMPOSIUMS.
The Arnold is BACK! and the level of competition plus the myriad of Olympic and non-Olympic sports helped to make the Arnold Sports Festival the largest international sporting event second only to the Olympics. Thanks to the leadership of Tokey Hill (who shares his birth date with our chairman) this wonderful weekend of competition ran like a fine watch.
The three day festival included Olympic Boxing, Sumo, Ice Skating, Archery and more great events in addition to the world class bodybuilding, weightlifting competitions and all of the many martial arts disciplines offered.
AWA was represented once again by the SANRYUDO, NAGA volunteers & the USBA/WBA and their great support staff led by GM Ralph Bergamo and Master Drew Serrano. As always, the sharing spirit of AWA was evident as AWA directors and USBA board members Sokes Cullen and Braff helped run/Judge all of the breaking competition. In bringing in outside qualified judges the USBA assured the competitors that mature, balanced and unbiased eyes make the competition fare and fun!
Dr. Robert Braff showed a great spirit of unity and sportsmanship by working with Dr. Hufford and the rest of the volunteers to run smooth and exciting padded weapon divisions. Dr. Braff's students went the extra yard and claimed most of the top awards in both traditional sword as well as padded weapons. Congrats to all of their hard work and achievement.
Master Chris Benavides' troups were everywhere they needed to be helping out at the NAGA tournament and booth (John Saylor and co.), security and wherever else they were needed. The black shirt brigade made a big impression and were a real tour de force.
Soke Cullen, AWA chairman, opened each days ceremonies with his stirring rendition of our National Anthem. Here he is pictured with an honor guard representing all of our armed forces.
