A major step forward for EPSF Technical Development.
EPSF is proud to congratulate Ivo, Head of the EPSF Technical Council, on successfully completing his intensive training at the Padepokan in Jakarta with Ibu Titih and PERSILAT.
Through this training, Ivo has become the first European International Wasit Juri to be certified in the new and current PERSILAT rules, an important achievement not only for Ivo personally, but for EPSF and the continued development of Pencak Silat across Europe.
This milestone also enables Ivo to conduct Wasit Juri upgrading courses from National to International level and beyond, under the guidance of PERSILAT. For the first time since EPSF was established, we now have this capability within Europe, a major step forward for our officials and National Federations.
Our sincere thanks to Bapak Benny, Executive Chairman of PERSILAT, for his guidance, support and assistance in making this project possible, and to Ibu Titih for dedicating her time and expertise to Ivoโs training.
Most importantly, congratulations and thank you to Ivo for personally making the journey to Jakarta and committing himself to an intensive programme at the Padepokan, all with the goal of bringing that knowledge back to Europe and supporting the development of our Silat community.
A big win for EPSF, our Wasit Juri and Pencak Silat in Europe. The work continues ๐ช
