After a journey of 22 years in the WKF and six years in the WKF Athletes Commission, after the last election in Bremen in 2014 with the election of the last two athletes in the Commission, I was elected President of the Athletes' Commission and as per WKF statute member of WORLD KARATE FEDERATION EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

By far one of the most prestigious goals of my Sports career.

I am very satisfied about my journey, keeping my ideals, my principles of honesty and fairness, by engaging every day in the WKF (I'm also a member of the WKF Rules Commission, Sports Commission, Entourage commission) I’m now holding a position into the WKF Executive Committee presided by the WKF President Mr. Antonio Espinos, with the same spirit that has characterized my entire career.

I really want to contribute even more to "OUR KARATE” !!!

 

 

After the Congress of Bremen during last World Karate Championships 2014, which defined the more stable balance in the WKF and a video message from the IOC President Thomas Bach for the Olympic Karate, we are going to continue working with the best optimism ever !

"This is Karate I like ! ”
