INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SPORT FOR DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE
One world, one sport

One world, one sport

Kickboxing has taught me to fight for one goal but above all it has shown me that when people from all over the world fight towards the same goal things go better. In my case I have met people from different countries and friends who have taught me how to support us to improve our sport.

I have been able to share it with my teammates with my national team and with my own opponents that reaching out to others to feel affection, strength and support to evolve are achieved from the heart and love .

I want to learn more about Gymnastick and grow in to. 

It’s like a sports whit flexiblety, and to do my crazy jumps, over an over again. 

Is good to do flipping, but you have to now some rules. Because you can break something on your body. 

That’s why better go to gymnastick and learn with professional people. 

I hope you are inspired!
