Board 2022-2023

Josephine Brenøe

Chair

Our chair Josephine, aka Josie, joined Deltaserat three years ago starting with kickboxing and then taking Krav Maga as well. She finds Krav Maga interesting since it involves defending yourself from several attackers, making it more applicable to real life situations. In Deltaserat, she organizes and manages all that happens in the association. From the next event planned to the amount of equipment we have, there is not a thing Josie does not know, or does not do. This versatility and control can also be seen in training, with her impeccable technique she is able to surprise and defeat any opponent she encounters. Outside of Deltaserat, she is attending her fourth year in Medicine and enjoys cooking and baking in her free time. Especially baking healthy variations of snacks which are very popular between the Deltaserat members as well. But the real star is her puppy, Charlie, who she cares for deeply and is himself a revered member of our association!

Candelas Gross Valle

Secretary

Meet Candelas Gross Valle, our new secretary!

Candelas is a German-Spanish hybrid currently doing her Masters Thesis in Medicine here in Groningen. She is deeply dedicated to all the work that she does and is certainly a valuable addition to the board! Being an avid martial arts sports practitioner, and someone who practiced Shotokan karate for 12 years, she immediately jumped on the opportunity to try kickboxing 3 years ago. She has also recently started exploring other combat sports within Deltaserat, and has now also started training MMA and Grappling. Apart from training and her studies, she enjoys spending her free time cooking and discovering vegan versions of everyone’s favourite foods. She is the master at making the biggest portions of comfort food you have ever seen and hosting cozy dinner parties for everyone to try out her creations.

Daniela Ribanská

Internal affairs

Meet Daniela Ribanská, or as she prefers, Dany our enthusiasic manager of internal affairs.

Dany comes from a “martial arts” oriented Slovak family, where every family member does some sort of fighting sport. She herself has been doing Krav Maga and Muay Thai since she was little. She is a medical student and has been training in deltaserat for 3 Years now. You can find her in most kickboxing trainings, especially on a Friday where she trains Krav Maga and Kickboxing back to back. She is comparable to a Swiss Army knife in that she provides everything you could possibly need to survive a day. If you ever suffer from low blood sugar it’s safe to say that Dany will always have a snickers bar or some sugar tablets with her just in case. As a matter of fact it is very likely that she will have anything ready for an emergency situation. Don’t hesitate to go up to her in case you need something or have any questions regarding deltaserat!
