Kwak's Taekwondo Academy have sent a well prepared team of 8 to the Taekwondo NSW State Championships.

We put two athletes into Open Black Belt competition, returning with two Gold medals and a Silver - great stuff.
Danielle overpowered two opponents in separate divisions taking two Gold medals.
Anthony made the final with a classy win, and lost the final to an opponent of international standard. Anthony held his own in his match and will draw on this excellent experience to further his development.

Renee Steele won Gold, powering her way through 3 matches in style.
Stephen took Gold in his division, composure and even temperament being key aspects of his match play.

Corey and Dylan both won Silver medals and fought to a high standard.
Chad put in an excellent performance in his first match and lost narrowly to the eventual Gold medalist.

Jade showed outstanding grit and determination taking Silver. The final was a bruising encounter with Jade missing out on a disappointing Golden point decision. As Coach Matt has emphasised, grace and sportsmanship are required in all circumstances. Jade thoroughly enjoyed her match and accepted the result without complaint - full credit to her.

Thanks go to all the club members who came out to assist with running the competition.
