I am a member of the IKCA, in Orange County, CA. - not far from their HQ in Seal Beach. I do not currently practice the IKCA curriculum, as I have been training with a local instructor for the last 3 years, and plan on continuing with him, however, I did attend the recent West Coast Confederation-and I've never met a finer group of people in my life. That experience was exactly the reason I joined - fellowship and exchange with a truly dedicated bunch of martial artists, whose only goal is to better themselves in the arts and share a common bond. To anyone, including my friends and training partners, I say try them out before being too negative or vocal - you just might meet someone there much like yourself. Salute to Messers. Sullivan and LeRoux!
