2009 ended very well for me and my students. Danny Etkin won his first World Titles in Boys 11 & under Extreme Forms and won three divisions in 9 & Under, Traditional Forms, Traditional Weapons and Creative Forms. Sammy Smith added 4 more NASKA World Titles to her list. She also won 5 Gold Medals at the WKA World Championships in Spain this past month. Nikki Stanley won 3 NASKA World Titles her first year on the tour and won two more Gold Medals in Spain.
Since I won 3 Gold Medals in Spain, I now, officially have 10 World Titles in Forms and 10 World Titles in Weapons between NASKA, ISKA, NBL and WKA.
