H. Adkins competed in her first creative weapons competition, while at the 2009 Songahm World Championship Tournament. Ms. Adkins used her Kamas or Sahn Knat. The difficulty for Ms. Adkins was the fact she is a XMA Competitor, and in this division “release” movements are not allowed, on purpose or on accident. She did a great job and we expect to see move of her in this division during the next season.
