International Martial Arts Convention By Jim Riddell
T
he International Martial Arts Convention, which was held May 16 – 18th was a very successful event. Students from at least four of the local clubs were among the more than 3,500 that attended the weekend’s activities. Twenty-four countries were represented with seventy instructors providing a wide variety of classes including MMA, kickboxing, traditional weapons, police tactics, and sport massage. Canadian teams did quite well taking first place in three of the Sunday morning team events. Former UFC welterweight champ Carlos Newton’s Toronto team won the Sport Jiu-Jitsu competition, Larouche Karate from Gatineau topped all kata teams, while Northern Karate was victorious in the team point-fighting event. The grand finale of the convention was a ten bout Championship kickboxing card with two title belts on the line. In the co-main event Gatineau resident and North American champ Ben Ladouceur, lost a very close decision to Frederic Kowatz of France in a world title match. In the most exciting fight of the night, one that was witnessed by a large contingent from the Seaway Valley, Paul Norman of Finch knocked out Rob Hyman of Mississauga in the 3rd round to win the Ontario Cruiserweight title belt.
