Testimonial of Krisztina Toth, 5 times Olympian and former nr. 13 of the World, currently responsible for high performance sport within the German regional table tennis association of Bayern: „I had the opportunity to attend the recently held ETTU Women‘s Coaching Seminar about footwork. I was impressed with the lectures in terms of quality of the presented content, the systematic approach the Chinese adopted in relation to the teaching and training methods for footwork and finally with the energy of the expert – he was very approachable, ready to discuss and answer each question and finally, he was also fun to listen to. I definitely recommend attending a lecture presented by „Master“ Li!“
