Bart Bellon is one of the most successful and top competitors in Belgium in NVBK (belgium ring)
He doesn't come to the US (that I'm aware of) often at all, so this is really something you don't want to miss. If you have ever wanted to see belgian ring in person, and get the in and outs of the sport, and pointers on how to begin training for it and so forth, you DO NOT want to miss this seminar. I also, believe this seminar would be very helpful to other sport enthusiast. This man is equivelent in my book to the olympics are coming to your town, you don't want to miss it. Below is the info that I copied and pasted from NVBK New England's board. It was posted there for everyones knowledge;
