For our part, we would also like to thank the President of the AETF and Treasurer of the ITF, Master Leonardo Oros Duek, for accompanying us and offering to attend a meeting with the FITAE Board of Directors, which was very productive.
Of particular note was the beautiful resort that hosted the participants and the training venue, and the good weather that allowed participants to enjoy the swimming pool and the beautiful private beach.
