SWKKF Club Instructors/Members, In response to the current Covid-19 pandemic which is expected to continue widespread, the SWKKF has taken action to help flatte...n the curve, slow the spread and contain as much as we can. Our Liability Insurance Company (HUB International) advises all regular classes, gatherings and events be suspended until the virus Covid-19 has been contained an all threat minimized. Due to this I have made the hard decision to Cancel this years Memorial National Tournament / Clinic on May 22nd & 23rd 2020. Our response will continue to develop as the pandemic develops and I ask that all members use caution and stay safe during these troubled times.. In Harmony, Sensei Denis Labbé
