Louise McCagh Sparring Seminar

Instructor Insights & Practical Drills with World Champion Louise McCagh

Louise McCagh was in New Zealand over the summer of 2015 and kindly agreed to teach a specialised sparring seminar. Her session focused on practical, easy-to-apply drills and mental strategies that are ideal for students from beginner to intermediate level, especially those looking to enter or improve in competitive sparring.
