Master Vasilis Alexandris, 8th Degree, assisted by Mr. Michalis Mouratidis, 4th Degree from Greece, was invited by Algerian Union ITF Association to conduct 3-days seminar in Algeria.
The seminar took place between 20th and 22nd July, 2011. The program was as follows: Friday morning 11am-13pm warm up exercises and basic kicking and punching techniques. Friday afternoon 17:00pm-20:00pm tuls. Saturday morning 11am-13pm solo sparring, Saturday afternoon 17:00pm-21:00pm fight and sparring techniques. Sunday morning 10:00am-14:00 pm 3rd degree exams.
The number of participants throughout the 3-day seminar amounted to 65 individuals, 35 of them black belts. The technical level of the seminars’ participants was satisfactory. Quite remarkable is the fact that they learn tuls from videos and cd’s. They have good kicking techniques and they like free fight and tuls. They do love TKD and were practicing very hard during the whole seminar.
Master Vasilis Alexandris has conducted the seminar in Korean terminology. Mr. Michalis Mouratidis has interpred the explanations in English.
Next seminar will take place in July 2012.
My best regards,
Master Vasilis Alexandris
