After a very successful tournament held in India in December 2015, Dr.Fritz Wendland gave his strong recommendation to the ExCom for his appointment. All members of the ExCom voted in favor of the promotion as they believe that would strengthen the WKC in India and neighboring countries. Dr. Swakky Rethinam and his All India Karate-Do & Kobudo Promotion Foundation have been a loyal member and great supporter of the WKC throughout the years and their contribution has been very much appreciated..
