Latest Taekwondo equipment

The most appreciated equipment we have ever purchased for the Club.  A giant jumping castle we called "The Dojang" arrived on Thursday.  Weighin 130 kg and dimensions of 7 x 5 x3.5m, its a beast.  Naturally the students couldn't wait to test it out.    Its amazing how excited kids get over a jumping castle.  The joy on their faces was priceless.  "The Dojang"  was custom made and takes about 5 minutes to blow up.  Best of all it packs up into 1.5cm3 .   Now we just have to work out where to store it.  The dojang only comes out on special occasions such as birthday's and school holidays. Everyone is looking forward to the September holidays.

Chelsea seconds from a medal.

Chelsea Hobday has just returned from the 1st Word Cadet Taekwondo Championships in Baku Azerbaijan. The inaugural cadet championships, which are for the youth aged between 12 and 14, had 578 athletes and 286 officials from 63 countries. Chelsea was one of 2 Australian girls which made it though to the Quarter finals and narrowly missed out on a medal.  With only seconds to go, Chelsea appeared to score with a kick to the head of the French girl.  That would have put the score 14-12 in Chelsea's favour.  After a video replay, the kick was too close to call and the initial decision was upheld.  Some would argue that if the kick had have scored and the other side protested, then the point would have remained. Chelsea is now in training for the Australian Open in Sydney on 16 & 17 August. To view both of Chelsea's fights you can go to the following links. Chelsea vs Jordan Chelsea vs France
