Belgian Championships 2019

The 29th Belgian Championships took place in Andenne, February 24th. With 230 competitors, 46 umpires and 39 coaches it was another success. The number of participants is growing on every championship organised in ITF-Belgium the latest years, and also the level of the competition was very high. This, together with the friendship amongst everyone involved and the warm atmosphere made it a very nice day.

There was competition in kids sparring (3-7), tul, teamtul, sparring, pre-arranged sparring, power breaking and special techniques, for coloured and black belts, kids, youth, juniors, seniors and veterans.

Many thanks to the T&U Committee, the organizing school Germinal and Erik Van Hoeck, and all umpires for the hard work.

All results of the day can be found on Sportsdata.
