South West Bunbury Invitational Tournament a Challenge
The Club level invitational organised by the South West Taekwondo Academy ended up being a bit of a challenge for the ATA members who competed there. You can view the results here. The competition was held over two days at the Bunbury PCYC on Saturday August 2 and Sunday August 3.
Being a good tournament to get our Nationals players ready and prepped, it turned out to be a bit on the small side. As it sometimes is with club invitationals, there may not be enough players to fill up certain categories. As it turned out, there were some entries that had no divisions, so they did not journey down south to Bunbury for the tournament. Being 4 weeks away from the Nationals in Sydney – this was a well timed tournament so that players can gain more insight to improve and have enough time for recovery from injury.

Zachary Platt (left) and Jordan Cole (right) from the ATA Halls Head branch club showed how it was done at the Oh Do Kwan club junior invitations when they won convincingly by the 7 point gap rule. Both zipped through their opponents. Coach Brandon Farr was very pleased as they played the game according to his coaching instructions. It was Zac’s first compeititon and Jordan’s second (Jordan had won his first comp back in Oct 2007). Zac won the u14 boys yellow 46-50 kgs divison while Jordan won the u14 boys yellow 34-38 kgs division.
