As always the 16 students that travelled to Pencoed aquitted themselves fantastically, returning with a massive haul of 22 medals - 14 Gold, 2 Silver & 6 Bronze.     Making this performance even more impressive was the fact that 7 of the group were all competing in their first competition, and those students alone returned with 6 Gold, 1 Silver and 2 Bronze between them!! Well done, your hard work has been justly rewarded. I am proud of you all. Gold : Bradley Cox (x2), Jack Jones, Emily Walker, Ethan Wickens, Joseph Gormley, Katie Whittington (x2), Lewys Sulman (x2), William Higgs (x2), Callum Tucker, Morgan Davies.

Emma Parsons was presented with her award for finishing 3rd overall in the Adult section of the 2011 Grand Prix Series.

Morgan and Chelsea (who looked more the competition veteram than nervous first timer!) achieving Gold at the first attempt!!
        I feel I should also mention the performances of Jack and Macauley who without doubt showed some of the finest levels of skill at the entire tournament, both achieving gold medals & hopefully excellent preparation for the European Championships later this year.

        Congratulations for those students that attended the event in Penarth on Sunday the 27th of February. There were over 400 students in attendance, however due to the Adult & Junior Black Belts competing first in a venue that was not of sufficient size, many junior students aged as young as 7 were still waiting to fight at 8.30 pm having arrived at 9.30am!!. Divisons were also mixed together, resulting in some yellow belts competing against black tags!! In spite of this, some fantastic results were achieved :-

Gold Medals :- Hannah Walker, Jack Jones
Silver Medals :- Emily Walker
Bronze Medals :- Lewys Sulman, Cameron Hayle, Vicky Evans, Emma Parsons, Macauley Purchase.

As their instructor, I was extremely proud of how Tae Kwon Do Wales students represented both themselves and the association, showing both respect and a great level of skill. Special mentions also go to Ben Packer & Jake Clark, who were competing against much bigger & higher grade opponents, and produced excellent performances. It was also disappointing that due to extreme late running of the event, Paul Hayle was unable to compete in the Men's Coloured belt division, where he would have been a one of the favourites.

I look forward to even greater success later this year, at hopefully better organised events, although I have been assured that in future, this event will be held in a more fitting venue.     

        On Sunday February 20th, five Tae Kwon Do Wales Students competed at the 8th Annual ITF Wales Grand Prix - The Results were as follows :

While Lewys & Vicky continued their dominance from last year's Grand Prix, this event was both Kaitlin Oanes & Jake Clark's first tournament & they both aquitted themselves fantastically. Jake earning a Silver Medal at the first attempt!      

        Tae Kwon Do Wales Students recently competed at both the ITF Wales Grand Prix Event in Cardiff & the UKTA's British Championships - The Results were as follows :

      2010 - our first year as an independant association has been fantastic both competitively and in training. I would like to take this opportunity to thank both students & parents for supporting us this year. I would also like to thank the many groups whose events we have attended this year - PUMA, the ICTF, ITF Wales, the UKTA, the WTKA, the TAGB, AIMAA. Our results have been simply outstanding at all of the events, which goes to show that politics have no place in Tae Kwon - Do & our students have been a fantastic example to all both in levels of skill, Attitude and level of respect shown. Do not forget the forthcoming Christmas party, where the Student of the year awards will be presented for all TKDW clubs.

        On Saturday the 11th & Sunday the 12th of September, a squad of 8 Tae Kwon Do Wales students took part in the 2010 TAGB World Championships in Telford. Almost 2000 students battled to prove they were the best in the World.

After some fantastic skillful displays, the squad returned with 6 Gold Medals, 4 Silver & 4 Bronze,

New World Champions are :

Vicky Evans (2 x Gold),
Melanie Parker (1 x Gold, 1 x Silver),
Emily Walker (1 x Gold, 1 x Silver),

There were also some fine displays from 7 year old Lewys Sulman (Silver) & 12 year old Evan Herbert (Bronze). Mr Williams also returned with 2 Bronze medals in the Mens Black Belt Divisions.

Once again Tae Kwon - Do Wales students have proven that they can truly compete with the best in the World.... Wales be proud.... I know that I am.

Congratualtions to Master Black who was promoted to VIII degree at the event. It was also a pleasure to have the opportunity to meet Master Stanley & Master Cariati - President of the ICTF.
