Hockenheim, Germany<\/strong> – Following the passing of Grandmaster Keith R. Kernspecht on November 25, 2024, a memorial event and seminar was held in Hockenheim to honor him. Master Webb attended the invitation-only event, seeing a number of old friends and training partners he had not seen since before the Covid-19 events of 2020. The trip was a bit of a home-coming for him, as Master Webb had lived and trained in Germany under the European Wing Tsun Organization<\/a> (EWTO) while stationed there during his Air Force enlistment in the early 1990’s as well as during numerous trips to Europe since. Master Webb’s tribute to Grandmaster Kernspecht can be found on The Empty Cup blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
