comments (1)The World Cup taekwondo team championships was quite an experience being held in Urumqi, Xinjiang province, China. The host organisers went the extra distance and being the perfect hosts looked at every detail in hosting the event proper and including its immaculate hospitality towards the participants from players, to coaches, teams, referees, officials from the teams and the WTF taekwondo family.
The numerous cultures in this part of remote north western part of China were on display at the grand opening ceremony, it was another part of Chinese culture not immediately evident when one visits China, it is something else to behold.
This photo gallery shows some of the experiences including the event proper, referees, some matches, the people and the culture of this Xinjiang province.
Click here to view galleryThis event implemented the latest 2010 competition rules and some newer changes in particular with regards to the following:
1. Video replay will be limited to the appeals for points scored or not scored by non electronic PSS (protector scoring system) points, ie including the 3 points head shots and the additional turning kick points. The points for or against the punches cannot be appealed.
2. Video replay for penalties are limited to the following:
a. crossing the boundary line
b. grabbing, holding, pushing
c. attacking a fallen opponent
d. attacking after kalyeo
e. misconduct by the player or the coach.
3. For team competitions, the maximum number of video replays is four, while each player per match quota is still one.
The team competition concept was to fight off the elimination preliminaries in 5 groupings for each of the mens and womens divisions in teams of maximum four countries for each grouping for the first 3 days. After that the top 8 teams were determined from a points system that awarded points for each individual player win, team win, and then additional points for knock-outs. The top 8 teams each for mens and womens teams were then ranked accordingly into the quarter finals rounds, where the team ranked 1st will fight off with the 8th ranked team; 2nd with 7th; 3rd with 6th and 4th with 5th.
Winners from the quarter finals then advance to the semi-finals and then the winners advance to play off for gold and silver in the finals. The final results are:
Mens:
1st: Iran
2nd: Spain
3rd: Turkey
4th: Korea
Womens:
1st: Korea
2nd: China
3rd: Thailand
4th: Turkey

I know, this is about a week old – and I apologise, The movie is still playing and I believe the display is still up.
The ATA group was asked to place some static display items for the launch of the Karate Kid movie in the Reading group of cinemas in Mandurah. It was gladly taken up and we placed numerous martial arts items on display including the Karate Kid white jacket and pants and kungfu shoes. You can view the display at the cinema – have a look at the photo and see what else you can find.
