Because of the success from last year there were more clubs and competitors who what to compete but as a organiser we didn’t accept other inscription after the deadline. About 34 clubs with 366 competitors from Wales, England, 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 umpires choose also the sportive coach according to the tenets of Taekwon-Do. Pascal Raeijmaekers from ITF België was the winner.

Hope to see you next year sundae 27 September 2009 for the next Battle of Utrecht.
