19th March 2016 – United ITF Australian Championships – Melbourne

On the 19th March 2016 Impact Taekwon-Do attended the 2016 United ITF Taekwon-Do Australian Championships in Caroline Spring.

Approximately 100 Taekwon-Do Athletes gathered from all around Australia and New Zealand to attend this event.

The event ran smoothly with three rings being run simultaneously. The students all gained a lot of experience about the strengths and weaknesses in Taekwon-Do competition. The students quickly realised that hard-work and dedication towards training is paramount to achieve results in a tournament.

It was great to see old friends and watch new friendships being built.

Thank you to Master Muleta for the invitation. We will definitely be back next year.
