Belgian Championships 2021

The 31st Belgian Championships, on the calendar for February 2021, had to be postponed due to the pandemic. The new date was set on November 14th.

Although the circumstances and the preparations were difficult, and a lot of measures had to be set (like e.g. CST, face masks and so on) the TUC and the organizing school Samjok-O managed to have a fantastic BC with most of the affiliated clubs present. Over 145 competitors, a lot of coaches and enough umpires to work constantly on 4 rings … the numbers were still quite high.

In March ITF-Belgium had already organized the e-BC in tul, so on this championship there was no competition in this discipline. However, there were events in teamtul, pre-arranged sparring, kids sparring, sparring, special techniques, power breaking and team sparring.

The 32nd BC is scheduled for February 22nd 2022.

ITF Course for women around the world

On October 30th 2021 through the Zoom platform, organized by the ITF Women’s Committee, a special course in which GrandMaster Hector Marano (chairman of the ITF Technical Committee) corrected, taught and gave details of 3 patterns to many women around the world. The course took 2,5 hours.

The registration number exceeded 250 women worldwide. However, at the time of the course there were 160 cameras on, this was due to many clubs that provided their facilities to groups of women who gathered together to share and learn from GrandMaster Marano.

The 3 patterns were demonstrated by 3 different women from around the world. The tul Ge-Baek was shown by Andreea Musca, a big honour for herself and for our country. During the whole event the translation from English to Spanish and vice versa was done by Master Virginia Dionisi.

There were participants from 30 different countries, from different continents. Amongst them also some belgian members. Besides the members of the ITF Women Committee, also the ITF President, GrandMaster Paul Weiler, attended the course.
