“Maxima was gone before I noticed it.”
The 4th of July is for a lot of Americans a memorable day, but for sur it is for Sem who had an invitation from the Royal House of the Netherlands.
Invited by Prince Willem Alexander and Princess Maxima K1 fighter Semmy Schilt visited Palace Noordeinde early in the afternoon for a lunch with the Royal Family.
Saturday morning 6:30 am, the alarm clock rings, it’s time! Today we were taught by triple K-1 Champion Shihan Sem Schilt. We were expected at 8.45 am in the sport complex in Sliedrecht were the Shihans Ruud Muller, John v/d Werf, Jan de Bruin and of course Shihan Sem Schilt entered the hall.
Early Sunday morning Sem took the plane from Marseille to Paris and had a connection from Paris to Bucharest. Sempai Michael Knaap and Shihan Dave Jonkers already arrived at Saturday from Amsterdam and Michael did the MMA morning seminar which was attended by 70 participants and Michael showed several techniques with Sankaku and following combinations. The invitation for tyhis seminar was done by Ion Garbea Branchief Romania , Biko style leader Leonardo Voinescu and Romanian Kickboxing Champion Cipran Sora.

Just two days after the return from Japan Sem left Holland again for some shots in the production of Transporter 3, with actor Jason Statham well-known from “the Italian Job”and “War”.
It was a big experience with long days and long periods of waiting, but something totally different from fighting in K1. It was enjoyable and maybe in future here will be more possibilities in this kind of activities. Sem had to work a day extra, which made his schedule in traveling to Romania on the 19th very shortened.
