Continue your WCS training in Adela Su's Beginner Bootcamp Series, which meets monthly starting Sunday, August 24th. This is an in depth 2.5 hour class each Sunday, with the goal of developing an impeccable foundation. It is quite common and beneficial to take beginner classes multiple times as there are many layers of technique, in addition to learning from a variety of instructors who all have something to offer you. Adela has been teaching WCS for 25+ years and is a nationally ranked amateur competitor on the WCS circuit.
