Region 1 at the UK ITF National Championships

 

With blood, sweat and tears left in the Dojang, Region 1 competitors were once again set to compete in their next challenge…The UKITF National Championships 2016. This was a great opportunity for our degree competitors to earn points and take an early lead in the seeding process for the ITF World Championships 2016. For our junior grades, this was not only a great opportunity to gain valuable experience but also a chance to showcase all their hard work and dedication leading up to the event.

With over 60 competitors from the Region and 15 registered Umpires, this was once again another demonstration of the strength within the Region and professional manner which we seek to deliver.

Against tough competition from within the UKITF and overseas competitors from Redking TKD Academy, Mallorca ITF, ITF Spain, ITF Royal Dutch, German ITF, Irish ITF and Italy, we were all focused with our hearts set on taking the gold. With our Cadet Squad setting a VERY HIGH benchmark in the morning, it was then the turn of our black belts to follow in similar fashion and stamp their authority on the competition…..which they did in spectacular fashion. 

With the next National event taking place on the 27th February, we will once again be fitter and stronger as we approach the build up to the much anticipated World Championships. We would once against like to thank all the Instructors and clubs within the region; Brentford TKD, Trenic TKD Academies, Hollingsworth TKD and Legends TKD for their support at the event. Now let’s look forward to our next Regional STOMP competition on the 14th November where our youngest competitors will be embarking on their competitive career in tough yet fun event!!
