About Event Director: Will Just

Will Just has experience in various martial arts and combat sports. He primarily focuses on evolving Taekwondo with the insight gained through the practice and application of Kata.

Will has integrated his art into the world of off-grid living. Will believes that understanding our intention, assessing the self within the present, and mitigating how we use and identify body language, can help us open our senses to the multidimensional landscape of the world. We can then integrate these skills to other aspects of life.

Of the upcoming seminar in New York, Will says “I’m overcome with excitement to bring Master Colin Wee to the Capital region. His tactical insight, which he gains from the Kata, integrated with his rich life experience creates an atmosphere of a true Master. It is simply extraordinary.”

Host School: Northeast Taekwondo Academy
