The Artsakh branch of the Traditional Karate-do Federation
\nof Armenia has reopened in the town of Abovyan as a club. The founders are
\nPresident of the Artsakh Federation Aram Gevorgyan and Coach Tigran Gevorgyan.
<\/p><\/p>\n
“Currently, only 5 children attend the club. Many people
\nhave not even heard of us. But we are now running an awareness campaign and
\nhope that our number will increase over time,” Tigran Gevorgyan said.
<\/p><\/p>\n
Children over 4 years old can enroll in karate groups. They
\nhave rented the area and have bought everything necessary, while the mat has
\nbeen donated by the Traditional Karate-do Federation of Armenia.
<\/p><\/p>\n
“Traditional karate is not that developed in Abovyan. We aim
\nto develop it here with a professional approach and to stimulate interest among
\nchildren,” he said.
<\/p><\/p>\n\n
Before their displacement, Tigran and his friend had planned
\nto open a branch in Yerevan. The place had already been decided; they were to
\nopen a practice hall for karate on the first floor of a private house, and a
\nprivate kindergarten on the second floor. Today, it has all become a reality.
\nInstead, they have lost what they had achieved in Artsakh over the years.
\nRecalling his students’ achievements, Tigran notes those under the age of 14
\nwere European and World champions, prize winners, those over the age of 14 also
\nhad various achievements as well.
