2010 World Taekwondo Culture Expo – Jellabuk Do, Muju Korea

What an amazing effort by our team of 8 athletes that travelled to Seoul to compete at the 2010 World Taekwondo Culture Expo. This event was much more than a taekwondo compeitition with a cutural display of everything taekwondo and Korea has to offer.  The travelling team were treated to spectacular poomsae demonstrations, light shows and fireworks.  The team also visited Kukkiwon, the home of taekwondo and of course the famous night markets.  The level of competition was of a very high standard as too was the refereeing (with some exceptions, of course!).  The team had a great time away and gained a great deal of experience.  Well done to everyone of your efforts and results – Samantha Lazenkas (gold) Peter Tilley (bronze), Tom Afonczenko (bronze), Michael Damjanovic (bronze), Chris Caserta, Alana Pozzebon (silver), Flynn Gregory and Tina Santucci (silver).Stay tunned for a full report from Peter Tilley one of our senior athletes as he shares his own experience, which will be both interesting and insightful.

Here’s a few photos of their time away.
