20 Years ago on November 1st 1979, Bao Trieu / Blijd's coordinator and trainer Earl Blijd made his first entrance in the world of Martial Arts in Groningen, the Netherlands. A memorable fact that we want to celebrate through an afternoon of festivities.

This afternoon, members of Bao Trieu / Blijd (both new and veteran) will demonstrate their spectacular Wushu abilities. And a number of Special Guests will perform: Juan Carlos and Irene Gonz�lez with their Salsa Cubana, and the acrobatic pair Clinch. But best of all: Earl will revive the olden times in a series of sparring sets with old-world champions Kenneth Leeuwin (karate), Riemer de Haan (pencak silat) and Larry Meijer (taekwondo).

The Sportshall of Rehabilitation Center Beatrixoord has been selected as the location of these festivities for special reasons. After his accident in 1995, Earl spent a number of months in this rehabilitation clinic, a period that was covered extensively in the media e.g. in TV-program 'Fatal Moment'. Since then, ties between Beatrixoord and Bao Trieu / Blijd are close. The work out weekends of 1997 and 1999 took place in the sportshall, and Bao Trieu / Blijd gave courses to patients and staff of Beatrixoord.
