NEXGEN Sport Taekwondo Camp

 



On December 12th a small group from American Taekwondo & Fitness attended The NEXGEN Sport Taekwondo Camp in Stevens Point, WI.  Antonio Cruz (red belt) and Keanan VandenBush (green belt) attended the morning session and Masters John McCrackin (V Dan) and Davin Ohms (IV Dan) attended the afternoon session.

Hosts of the event were Chris and Natalie Hershberger (see accolades below) from NEXGEN Taekwondo in Mansfield, OH.  The camp focused on the sport and competition areas of taekwondo. Mr. Hershberger led the group through a series of conditioning exercises, kicking drills, and plenty of in-ring sparring matches.  

Nearly 50 taekwondo athletes attended the camp.  Schools represented from Wisconsin included Five Rings MA (Stevens Point), Rising Son MA (Wausau), N.E.W. Sport TKD (Green Bay), Wings Academy TKD (Milwaukee), Waupaca TKD (Waupaca), and ATF (Eau Claire).  Also in attendance were members from the NEXGEN TKD team, and 2015 Mens black belt Light Weight National Champion Ernest Samotshozo.
