More than 65 Juniors competed on the hottest day in 3 weeks at Coorparoo.  The concept behind the grading comp is for the students to rise to the challenge of Taekwondo Competitions.  Students were tested on their performance in the ring (sparring) as well as poomse.  These 2 elements are what students compete at in local, state, national and international level.  The students have been training hard since Christmas on Olympic sparring.  We hope to see some of these student compete in regular tournaments and one day represent Australia at the World or Olympic games.

Well done to all those who competed in the true spirit of sportsmanship and Taekwondo.  Special thanks to the instructors and senior students who helped the juniors on the say.  We mananged to get through 35 matches in just over 2 hours.  A super effort.
