We had sportsmen from Latvia, Russia, Moldova, Kenya. There were 25 main participants, while on the way more sportsmen have joined. In our daily schedule we had 2 lectures on TIMD philosophy, four training sessions with the emphasis on sparring and basic techniques. TIMD participants were very inspired by daily sparring. It was difficult in the beginning. However, in the end sportsmen were getting more courage and even were getting pleased by hard training. On the May 6th 2006, there was the promotion exam on TIMD. First we held the theoretical exam in TIMD philosophy, and then practice. The participants have shown a good growth of their skills.
The trainers of this seminar were Valerian Griu and Francis Njiru.
On the May 6th 2006, the participants have demonstrated their skills in Sangerei city, on the occasion of 420th anniversary of the city with a presence of:
Mr. Marian Lupu
(Speaker of the Moldovan Parliament)
Dr. Gheorghe Duca
(president of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova)
The public was waiting for TIMD demonstration, because TIMD demonstration was announced by local media, radio and TV that there will be a special demonstration by the United Martial Artists of TIMD. The demonstration was very successful and people were very inspired. Many parents with children were willingly coming and asked us to teach their kids TIMD.
Later we held a little banquet on the occasion of the end of the TIMD seminar. Mrs. Koonce has congratulated all the participants on Dr. Seuk's behalf. The atmosphere was very high spirit with bortherhood.
