At the high school in this small, pretty and proper-looking town near Boston, a student was being choked by another student--with the school’s permission.
Just another meeting of the Winchester High mixed martial arts club, which may be the only of its kind in the country.
It began as the brainchild of In-Goo Kwak, a senior at Winchester who began campaigning for the program when he was a freshman. A student of martial arts since age 8, he wanted to create an outlet for students who were not interested in traditional sports.
