Anniversary - 25 years
To come after so much time up to this stage means to have learned of the martial arts, what means the effort, the responsibility, to hold the values and the principles to achieve a personal growth. Of course that I have not come alone until here, there were many people who in the good and the bad moments they were there for me in a way of full uncertainty.
I learned that to be a martial artist from the “nothing” costs if we are removed from our values, learned that the realizing of something are important if we can share these with others, learned that to leave a legacy allows to leave footsteps for the future of the next generations, that some day they will be part of this tour in which many, today we travel in the martial arts.
I thank to my teachers, pupils and instructors, and all the people who taught me their secrets, they encourage me and correct the course to continuing when I take some mistaken detour.
Many of you know me for being an organizer of events, teacher, executive, etc. But inside my interior, as a person, I take the firm commitment to live through the life of what I love, of that I can dream, of all that what allows me test myself and for especially what is significant inside the martial arts.
I write these lines in the present recalling a past full of stories and experiences of 28 years of tour in the martial way.
Today my desire was to share these words, tomorrow already it is another day to continue in this way to which I chose, and it will be like that until God decides that this game finishes.
Without more to say, thank you very much to all that somehow or other are with me. Thank you very much for accompanying and allowing me to cross a path which ends when we have decided to rest our interior being.
I want to make a toast for the friendship and that reigns the peace in the world.
Thank you and until the next time!!!
As they say in the India when the people are greeted …. NAMASTE!!

International Report

Well, I’m taking some minutes to tell you how is organizing the work before the championship of the world and everything what patrols to the movement in general.
First, for everything that is happening and the quantity of people who communicates, my conclusion is that we have overcome what we had planned and in addition we think that overcomes the summons of what was the world championship of Argentina 2005. Today we are dividing equally an estimation of 2500 competitors and approximately 22 countries.
There is a logical reason to this matter. Having the reference of a previous event to which it was a record for Argentina, this one is postulated to increasing the summons. To comparison of the international participation of Argentina 2005, for this event of Argentine 2008, added Ecuador, Guatemala, Canada, Italy, Costa Rica, Honduras and Puerto Rico.
And in these days already we have received the confirmation of Uganda, Ukraine and Georgia. Interesting countries and county for treating about places that very rarely we have contact in case of open tournaments.
Today I don’t doubt the participation of many of them, because they have communicated when it was 2005, but due to the precedent of this year, they have taken a firm decision in taking part.
Inside the international confirmations we rely with countries of many competitors like Chile, Venezuela, Uruguay and Peru. Only Chile we think that they will present to compete more than 200 competitors. This is incredible. Not only to Chile but to all those who are supporting us I must say to them thank you for being present with so strong participation.
Here in Argentine there is a strong development of schools that are looking to classify in the tournaments of the circuit. I must confess that I am surprised!! For everything what happens.
We will end a year with a circuit that will close approximately with 40 classifying tournaments, 4 more events have added, 2 in Argentina precisely in Santa Fe and Tierra del Fuego and 2 more will be realize in Chile.
Changing topic, we have closed the advertising agreements with the magazines “Total Trainer” and “Yudo Karate”, which in addition they support the Championship of the World as one of the principal ones of the open championships of the country. In addition the creation of the magazine “Latinoamerica Marcial” that I am an external agent, the team of direction has achieved to give it a touch to this way. It impressed me that in only 15 days it has more than 1700 visits.
Also I was interviewed by the TV program “El Rincon de las Artes Marciales ", where was realized a special production that will spread in the whole America. For what they have commented is in different media of Internet. For that I will comment to you when this is about being presented. Thank you!! To the masters of the production.
Tomorrow on Saturday, the 5th of April, it begins to train the first aspirants to integrate the Argentina Selection, under Sergio Zamorano's direction. If you read me Sergio I want to be grateful to you for the strong commitment that you have taken. It is not easy to be in your place, knowing that Argentina must have response in the final result. Success for you.
This weekend of April 12 I begin to travel together with my team of inspectors, for different points of the country in addition, I will be selecting competitors to call them for integrating the team of training for the future selection
I take advantage in addition of this report to communicate to the schools of Argentina that only those who classify can bring the competitors to take part.
Only classifying in form and combat, they can compete. Other specialties are not necessary to classify. Also it is the case of competitors of major of 35 years and 4th Dan in ahead, they are not necessary to classify.
Also there are something that is important … All the foreign schools can take part in the Championship of the World, but they must have in mind of adapting to the official regulation. You can extract it from the web www.argentinaworldopen.com.ar
Well … this is what I wanted to transmit. If you want to make me some consultations do not stop writing to the e-mail hamdo_argentina@yahoo.com.ar
A strong hug and have a nice day.

Recommendation by season
New international championships
It is important to remind that these classifying tournaments have for target that the schools that have classified under these international events could select and arm a team of competitions. Also worth clarifying that, the international competitors it is not a condition to classify to take part in the championship of the world. The classifying tournaments of Argentina are events of classificatory character, to limit the competitors' quantity and that highlights the technical level of the same ones.
Record of anticipation
Competitors add for the Champions' Challenge
Passbook of arbitration
The principal target is that the hours of training allows the participants to consolidate knowledge and develop skill of answers for the interventions in the tournaments and the major scene that will be the championship of the world.
