Prof. Rony KLUGER - General Secretary of IBSSA spent a whole week with intense negotiations with Dr. Joe B. MIRZA - Executive President of IBSSA - ISF for America and Head of AAU Karate.

It was a very successful visit, which prepared the unique combined program of the 11th Congress of IBSSA and the AAU Nationals in Miami. The excellent program and all events will be held between 26th June - 2nd July 2006. All IBSSA and IBSSA - ISF members are invited to attend this unique opportunity, which combines our own Congress, Master Classes and possibility of competing in one of the world top martial art event of AAU Nationals.

The meetings of Dr. Mirza and Prof. Kluger confirmed the consistent cooperation between AAU and IBSSA - ISF. It was also agreed that AAU would use IBA (International Budo Academy) as its official education provider. (IBA is well known as the official Academy of IBSSA.)

During his stay in Chicago, Prof. Rony KLUGER ran some masters classes in various Martial Art Centres.
