Chahra has a top performance in the hard level G2 competition

Chahra took silver on Sunday 17.3. In the juniors -68kg series, after two won matches and a narrow final loss. The matches of the preliminary round and the semi-final were tactically excellent performances, where Chahra showed his ability to fight versatilely and change tactics when necessary. Self-confidence shined from the grips. In the final, Chahra and his Spanish opponent were able to block the other's point attempts well, and the match with a few points finally turned in the Spaniard's favor.

Big congratulations to Chahra!

Chaimaa also took a great opening win, but the road ended in the next round against the tall Pole. Jenna suffered an unfortunate opening loss, but already in a week there is a chance to turn it into a victory at the Bulgarian Multi Open. Overall a great performance from a small team in Belgium.

Congratulations to those who completed the new belt rank!

The first belt exams of the spring season are in the package and a nice number of new belt values were earned. The performances were exactly as you would expect to see in belt tests. There was company and enthusiasm, and the technical know-how was excellent.

The next time you can increase your belt value is in May, so all you have to do is train hard!

Welcome to spend a traditional spring day with us!
