 First Anniversary of ITF Brussels 1st December 2006, Brussels, Belgium.
The first year of ITF Brussels has already gone and we are very happy after achieving a lot of things. Most of the students have tested their exams and others competed in championships obtaining very good results. However, the most important thing we have achieved is to have a very nice and friendly group of Taekwon-do practitioners leaded by Sabum Virginia.
In order to celebrate the first anniversary we made a party with our students and their families. It was a good opportunity to chat and share a nice moment telling and listening different stories from different countries. |
