Thursday April 18th

Lara Capa  performed in pattern pre-junior. She had to perform Ge-Baek and Chon-ji. She lost, but it’s very promising for the future.

Kilan Verbraeken competed in junior special techniques. He reached 4 out of 5 of the techniques, also very promising for the championships to come. In the afternoon he was up in sparring. He won his first bout to Bulgaria, but unfortunately had to quit the second bout due to an injury.

Vacant position in TUIC

Dear all,

Sabum Benito Martinez is leaving Belgium by the end of September. He is going to live in Spain.

He deserves a big thank you, for all those years of dedicated work in the Committee and as an (International) Umpire for Belgium ! We will miss him and his humour, but he will be visiting us a couple of times per year…

So now we have a vacant place for a new member in the TUIC:

  • We are looking for someone who is skilled in Umpiring and has a basic IT-knowledge.
  • Learning more IT-skills must be a motivation.
  • Interest in giving Umpire Courses is preferable.
  • Ambition for international career in Umpiring is likeable.
  • Knowledge of several languages is also a good characteristic.

 

You can send your motivated application to me via e-mail, we will discuss this in the TUIC, I may contact you for further discussion etc. … and then we do a proposal to the board for their final decision.

Kind Regards,

M Eddy,

TUIC-B.
