Graeme and Andrea both won their individual Poomsae divisions and together took out the pairs. Graeme was a particularly hard fought battle against what seems to be emerging as a repeat rival Craig from Cardinals club in Chch.
Sam and Zoe both did very well in their Poomsae – both getting silver.
In Kyorugi Sam faced a much larger opponent in a straight final and fought well, but unfrotuantely narrowly lost. Zoe did incredibly well, with two fairly tough fights and dominated both of them, taking out the gold.

Sam : Silver
Zoe: Silver
Andrea: Gold
Graeme: Gold
Graeme and Andrea pairs: Gold
Kyorugi;
Sam: Silver
Zoe: Gold
Sept 22 2018 – Club Grading
On Saturday 22 Sept, we held a club grading (along with guests from Moutere and Renwick clubs).
It was a great day and lots of our junior belts graded.
Following the kids grading, 2 of our senior students, Gavin Gallot and Saphirra Harrington completed their Black Belt grading. This was a gruelling experience that left them both nursing some battle injuries, but both were successful and did extremely well.
CONGRATULATIONS to all that graded!!
Sept 2018 – Master Bernie Visit
In early September e were lucky enough to have Master Bernie Miller, from Whitestone Taekwondo, visit and train with us.
