On this bank holiday still 9 instructors and 90 participants gathered for this seminar, amongst them also 2 friends from Argentina. In several workshops (2 for the kids 3-7, 9 for the youth, juniors and seniors) different disciplines of Taekwon-Do passed by. The participants were motivated, the instructors experienced, and everyone enjoyed training together.
