Skoufis says it's surreal to be among those selected to compete for a spot to represent Team Canada at the WAKO World Championships in October.

Skfouis is also the owner and instructor at Guelph Family Martial Arts on Woodlawn Road where he teaches all ages. He’s also involved with charity organizations in the community and he is a motivational speaker.“We’re there six days a week, we run close to 50 classes a week. I’m there teaching the majority of them, whether it’s for COVID classes on Zoom or in person, so that’s going to be the same.

“Whatever your goal is, whether it’s martial arts related, if it’s not martial arts related, if you focus at it and you work as hard as you can and you focus at it, and you have fun and enjoy what you do, I think any goal is achievable,” he said. “If you’re passionate about something, never give up. If somebody tells you you’re not able to do something or it doesn’t go that way, I had a million things like that coming up through martial arts. Never give up. Believe in yourself and you can definitely reach any goal that’s out there for you.”

The competition is this October in Venice and it’s the largest international championship for kickboxing.
