Osu all IBK members,

Budokai Savaneta (IBK Aruba branch) proudly presents the result of the Last Lady Standing event of 31st of may 2008,
in which our dear colleage Desiree Vermeulen Croes competed fearsley against Sharleen Hengeveld.  In the following Photographic report you can see the fighters in action (Desiree is dressed in black).

It all started with punches from both fighters in which Desiree quicky combined it with low kicks which led the opponent to choose to go to ground fighting in a later time frame.

And the final verdict…. Desiree became the champion

We would like to thank Sensei Fransis Limonier for his effort in coaching and training Desiree, we also would like to thank the Budokai Savaneta Kyokushin Knockout Knock down team for training with and encouraging Desi. Her victory that night was soon followed with a party at Commandeurs Café at Savaneta  who has been and still is one of our greatest  sponsors for many years.

We would like to use this opportunity to send our fraternal regards to Kaicho Jon Bluming.
Our team is Looking forward to Kancho Henk Kuipers upcoming trip to Aruba.

Osu, Budokai Savaneta
