Langstons return from S.A. with 4 world championships

Gulf Shores resident Tim Langston and his son 11-year-old son Alex brought back two world championships each (Tim also won a bronze medal) from the World Martial Arts Games in South Africa. The locals were part of the U.S. Martial Arts Team at the Oct 10-18 event. Alex, a 6th grader at Gulf Shores Elementary, and his dad train with Chris Wheeles at Wheeles Yoshukai Karate Academy in Gulf Shores, Mark Barlow at the Gulf Coast Martial Arts Academy in Foley, and Sensei Ricky Curruth and Sean Applegate of 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu in Gulf Shores. The Langstons qualified for the World Championships through high national rankings earned in fighting competitions.
