Welcome to my website. My name is Aymen Achnine, 23 years old and I am a taekwondo athlete representing the Netherlands at international tournaments. I am also a third year law student at Tilburg University.
Taekwondo is an Olympic sport that emphasizes self-defense through the teaching of various kicking and punching techniques. Taekwondo is among one of the most diverse sports in the world when it comes to the diversity of its athletes. There is no sport that is so actively practiced at the competitive level by all continents, by both men and women.
At age six, I started Taekwondo as a recreational athlete. From the age of fourteen, Taekwondo changed for me from a normal sport to a great passion which made me very competitive since then. Shortly after that I ended up as a talent in the regional team South-Netherlands and I knew immediately that top sports completely fit my character. From the age of 17 I grew into a full-fledged top athlete and fought my first international ranking tournaments. Since then, I have been dedicating myself 100% every day to belonging to the world top.

The above are my sponsors who are already supporting me at the moment. I am still looking for people and companies who want to help me make my dream come true. The road to the top is long and costly. The established big names in the sports world often get all the sponsorship support they need, but for athletes at the beginning of their careers, there is hardly any financial support.
Right now, I am still at the beginning of my sports career and to progress, I need your help. Unfortunately, playing top-class sport is a very expensive business. Just think of all the costs for (international) competitions, (international) training and (international) training courses. This causes very high costs, in addition to the regular membership fees. These costs can be high and I am therefore currently looking for sponsors to keep top-level sport affordable and possible for me.

On Saturday October 19th the Dutch Open took place. It's always special participating at this home event. After 5 months without fighting a match, it was great to be back on the mats again. Unfortunately, I didn't win a medal this time. After winning two matches I narrowly lost from the gold medal winner in the quarter finals. Nevertheless, I can look back on a successful event in which I fought three strong matches.
On to the next one!

In preparation for the Dutch Open we were invited to participate in the training camp of the DTU (Deutsche Taekwondo Union) in Nuremberg from Thursday to Sunday October the 13th. It was a very educational exchange for which I would like to thank the German national coach Marco very much!
On to the Dutch Open!

The past two months I was able to do an internship at TRC Advocaten (Veldhoven). The internship was office-wide, which gave me the opportunity to gain experience in various legal areas such as Labour Law, Family Law, Bankruptcies, Private Law and Administrative Law (mainly environmental law). The internship mainly consisted of drafting memos, attending hearings (lawsuits) and meetings and experiencing how the legal profession works in practice.
It was a very valuable experience to experience how the advocacy looks like!
Now that I have completed the internship, my focus will be on graduating and preparing for the qualification tournaments this upcoming season!
