One month after my first visit in Crimea (you can read about it here) I returned again to this most beautiful place on 3rd – 4th of June 2014.

My visit was organized by the representative and President of Crimea District Federation Mr. Enver Emirovich Umerov.

My main purpose of this visit was to bring sport gear such as doboks as well as hand-, feet- and head protection protectors for the athletes of this organization. The entire event was widely broadcasted by local Television. And this was supported by Mr. Smirnov Zayr - Head of International Affair Department of Crimea Government and Mr. Matsulin Roman - the Assistant of the First Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Crimea.

The second day of my visit I was able to meet with Mr. Valery Kosare - the Head of Education, Science, Sport and Matters of Youth People. More information about Mr. Kosare you can read here.

Of course as during almost every visit next to Taekwon-Do matters there must be time to see and visit beautiful places. And this time we had the opportunity to visit the Livadia Palace that was a summer retreat of the last Russian tsar, Nicholas II and his family.

On my way back I already accepted the next invitation and went to Sakhalin Island with 9 hours flight from Moscow.

This is also a very beautiful place of Russia with only 40 km from Japan. And I was invited to participate to historical moment where North and South Korean Taekwon-Do demonstration teams came together for the first time to show their professional high level abilities.

Yours sincerely,
Master Lazaros Tsilfidis
President
All Russia Taekwon-Do Federation
