Development Grading Comp

A total of 74 juniors competed in the 2nd Grading Comp for the year.  The event was held on the 25th October with some 35 fights in the 3 hour window.  For many of the students it was their first taste of Olympic Taekwondo.  Each student was required to do their current patterns as well as compete over 2 rounds under Olympic conditions.   We use the grading comp to give parents and students an idea of what its like to compete.  Hopefully many will do the sparring classes and enter the regular taekwondo competitions in Queensland. The highlight of the day was a special 3 on 3 teams competition in the first session. Special thanks goes to our officials (Ebenezer, Chelsea, Liam, Ash, Claire, Partick, Roseanna, and the Gibsons) The following students achieved Gold.
