🔥 ECKA Seminar with Sensei Alfie Lewis 🔥

This is more than a seminar… this is an opportunity to train with a true legend.
Sensei Alfie Lewis is widely regarded as one of the greatest point fighters of all time, a 5-time WAKO World Champion whose influence on martial arts spans decades. He is a 10th dan black belt, and Chief instructor of Mushin Kai (one of the most successful clubs in the world)!

His passion, knowledge, and commitment to developing others have inspired generations of martial artists across the UK and beyond and he has trained so many World and European champions in all martial arts disciplines.

If booked in advance, he has offered to bring signed copies of his latest book with him!

Important day for ECKA today with the first interclub in memory of Charlotte Shek, hosted by ECKA Kingsmere Lions
