Yesterday the AETF HQ received from Master Gordon Wallace from Scotland brilliant information and great archival material referring to the 2nd European Senior Championships which were held from 29th to 30th November 1980 in London, England.
The championships took place in the Crystal Palace National Sport Centre in London and were organized by the United Kingdom Taekwondo Association.
In the news paper article attached you will find information about the course of the competition, results, as well as about the people who where participating in those championships and now they are working and acting as Masters or even Grand Masters.
We invite you to watch the footage from the European Championships 1980 where you can feel the atmosphere of the Taekwon-Do competition from those times and see how the championships looked like more than 35 years ago.
If you are in possession of such or similar archival materials, we kindly ask you to share them with us in order we would be able to show them to the youngest generations.
We wish you a wonderful journey in to the past.
