San Diego Grand Champion

July 2024

Written by Laura Barrera (M.A.S. Tang Soo Do)

Congratulations to our very own Alexis Stoke! After a day of grueling competition in weapons, forms, and sparring, Alexis beat out all other adult females 18-34 years old after winning 3 gold medals in her own competition!

Also Mr. Kevin Stoke placed 1st Weapons, 1st Hyung, and 2nd Sparring tied for Senior Black Belt Male Grand Champion but the title went to the higher ranking black belt.

We are so incredibly proud of everyone who went to compete and all of those who represented Region 20 at the 2024 WTSDA World Championships!
