ATA Hedland starts with promise

The newly-established Hedland Taekwondo Club recently received a special visit from world-renowned Taekwondo master Kim Seng. In addition to his own per­sonal achievements, including a ranking of seventh Dan Black Belt, Mr Seng has been a refer­ee at major international tour­naments.

On August 22, Mr Seng trav­elled to Hedland to undertake a weekend seminar with senior club members at the JD Hardie Centre, teaching new tech­niques and ensuring club mem­bers were practising Taekwondo at an international standard. Mr Seng’s style was fun and fast-paced as students raised a sweat but were challenged to strive for excellence.

Despite being less than two months old, the club already has a membership of more than 25 students and has appointed fifth Dan Black Belt master John Geeves as head instructor.

On the final day of the semi­nar, students were graded by both Mr Seng and Mr Geeves. Students Tim Turner and Sean Van Hengel, aged 12, were both skilled enough to attain the rank of red belt. Mr Seng was impressed by the general standard of taek­wondo and also double graded several students on the final day.

The club has planned a trip to Perth to attend competitions at the end of the year and is also investigating the possibility of visiting Indonesia as part of an international exchange pro­gram supported by Mr Seng.

The Hedland Taekwondo Club meets every Tuesday and Thursday at the JD Hardie Centre between 4.30pm and 6.30pm. For more information, con­tact Brent Kara on 0429 795 692 or Tim Turner on 0427 995 291

WA State Team Training for 2009 Nationals

Thought I’d mention quickly that there is state team training for the 2009 Nationals in Brisbane.

Thought I’d get this up quickly because the first session started last week and the next session is coming up this weekend at Kwinana.

As a reminder, even if you are going to the Nationals or not, you can still train with the state team for experience. The cost is $5 per session.

Classes resume for 3rd term 2009

Taekwondo training will resume for the third term of 2009 this week.

I trust you all had an enjoyably wet holiday break this past 2 weeks and everybody stayed safe on the roads – and that you can safely return to training.

I’m not entirely sure about school holiday schedules. From what I’ve heard, today (Monday) is NOT a public holiday and is NOT part of your mid-term or mid-semester school holidays. I heard it was a pupil free day or "teacher’s planning day" or something similar.

So, training resumes today. For Rockingham at least. All other clubs should be resuming some time this week, if not today.

See you back at training – or at the State Championship.
