Just after the seminar in Tyumen (http://www.itfeurope.org/NL2014-02-47.html) at about 8 o’clock in the morning I returned to Moscow Domodedovo Airport. My next flight was scheduled for 14:00 from the other Moscow airport. So the car with my luggage with official clothes came to pick me up from the airport. I left my luggage with my dobok in the car and we started our way to the second airport. On the same day I traveled to Crimea being invited by Mr. Enver Umerov.

Crimea (The classical name Tauris or Taurica is from the Greek Ταυρική, The Crimean Peninsula also known simply as Crimea, is a major land mass on the northern coast of the Black Sea that is almost completely surrounded by water. The peninsula is located just south of the Ukrainian mainland and west of the Russian region of Kuban. It is surrounded by two seas: the Black Sea and the smaller Sea of Azov to the east.

During my travel Mr. Enver Umerov who is the representative in Crimea organized the Crimea Championships after 4 years of break. You can see the beautiful organization which was fully covered be local media here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DejYXpbur38.

Also a photo gallery from this event is available on the new web site of Crimea’s Taekwon-Do Federation under the link: http://www.crimea-tkd-kick.ru/video/2014-05-04/1.

During my stay in Crimea I had the opportunity to meet my friends Mr. Oleg Gromov from Simferopol and Mr. Vitaly Gagarin with Mr. Oleg Petrovsky who came to Crimea from Kharkov for vacations. Also I had the opportunity to meet with local authorities and get know closer Mr. Enver Umer.

After my first visit in Crimea held from 3rd to 7th of May I had full confidence that Mr. Enver Umerov is a good organizer and will create a big and well structured Taekwon-Do center. Therefore I promised to return in one month with doboks, safety equipment such as hand gloves, head gears, student manuals and other equipment as a small support to his activity.
