Newsletter Newsletter 4/2007 Battle of Utrecht

   

On 30 September 2007 the Battle of Utrecht was held in Utrecht Netherlands. This tournament is also from the organisers of the Pro Martial Arts Tour, www.promatour.com.

The organizer of the championship was Master James Tjin-A-Ton and his wife Liesbeth Willems with the cooperation from his club Taekwon-Do IN NAE DO KWAN.

About 30 clubs with 300 competitors from Ireland, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands took part in this tournament; they compete in sparring and pattern, youth-juniors and seniors. There where not only nice prices for the winners, but the coaches choose also the best centre and corner umpire. Master James knows as a Jury President in European and World Championship that without good, qualified umpires there is no high standard on the tournament.
