Team Kemscrima-Doh

Founded in 2010, Team Kemscrima-Doh serves as the Official Demo Team of the Headquarters. Currently consisting of 14 dedicated members ranging from ages 5 to 23, Team KSD's performances have continued to spread Kemscrima-Doh and Martial Arts awareness throughout the Central Valley.

Some of their most recent performances included UC Merced's Asian Fest, Fresno City College's Asian Fest, Cap and Town 2010, Merced County Fair, The Last Airbender Premiere presented by Forte Frozen Yogurt, and the Extreme Martial Arts Challenge in Salinas, CA.

Team KSD's largest performance venue came on September 2nd 2010, as they were a part of a Half-Time Show performance for the Oakland Raiders at the Oakland Coliseum.

In addition to demonstrations, the team has also competed at UC Berkeley at the UC Yongmudo Championships, earning two Gold medals in team competition against teams from UC Merced and UC Berkeley. Their first Team competition was in Pleasanton, CA at the Northern California Open (NCO) hosted by GM Max Pallen Jr. and Master Samar Shir of PallenM2.

Team KSD aims to blend contemporary and traditional principles as well as highlight the culture within the Martial Arts. Each customized performance aims to incorporate the theme of the venue, appeal to the audience, and improve from the previous demonstration. Feel free to contact Team KSD if you have any questions or inquiries.

Starting from Christopher and Sifu Glenn Abrescy, many of the member's families train in or are involved in Kemscrima-Doh. Teams: Sano, Akers, Isozaki, McIntosh, and Kuizon, all feature parents, grandparents, and siblings who train alongside them in the Martial Arts. This has remained as one of the core values for Team Elite, Eastwind Martial Arts, and KSD.
