Hello, my name is Svetoslav (or Sveto for short as you know what happens with long names, basically they get misheard, missaid, other words with mis- in front) and it’s a pleasure to meet you! 😊 As President I’m responsible for contacting UM sports and MUSST, internal coordination of the Board’s work and in general keeping a nice and friendly atmosphere in the association.
I’m 20 years old and originally from Bulgaria but spent most of my high-school years and graduation in Belgium. I’m a first year ITM student in the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences. My hobbies include playing guitar, reading and watching the Office (maybe a bit too much). Doing sports is also something that I like and since my first school years I’ve tried various martial arts like judo, taekwon-do and a bit of karate but was never really able to stick to one for a long time. That’s why I was really excited when I found out about Kinran because I thought to myself that I’m finally going to be able to dedicate myself and find the right motivation to get the most out of karate.
I’ll always associate Kinran with the word family. During my first year of university Kinran’s members are the first ones I got to know more closely and even from the start could refer to as friends. They’re all very kind and welcoming people, always ready to help each other and to have fun both during training and (even more) off training! They are going to make you feel as part of Kinran’s family from the first step you take into the dojo (don’t confuse us with a cult, though😊).
Don’t be shy to approach me if you have any questions about Kinran and I sincerely hope to see you at one of our trainings, because I can guarantee you that you’re not going to regret it (and now it sounds like a car commercial)!
Stay protected (now more than ever)!
