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.

Coolbellup Grading brings out multitalented students

posted by Roy Khoh in Coolbellup, Gradings

The Coolbellup students had their opportunity to grade tonight, for their next belt level. I won’t talk much about the general standard of the participants, because they (or you) will get (your) results via email with detailed scores, and possibly remarks and comments. Obviously, once they’re compiled and ready to go.

What I really want to focus on is the diversity of talent amongst the students from Coolbellup. Being mostly Primary School students, I find it quite interesting what they came up with.

At previous gradings, the students are well aware that at the end of the "normal" grading, a question is asked of them.

"What specialty can you do?"
