Region 12 Seminar
We were pleased to welcome Master Brungner to the region to deliver a seminar on kicking power and technique. A multiple World Champion and coach to many world-level athletes, he brought a wealth of experience and knowledge to the session.
Several of our students attended and represented the club well, displaying a very good standard of Tae Kwon Do throughout.
It was a positive event for the region and a great opportunity for students to learn from one of the sport’s most accomplished practitioners.

2025 World Championships
Mr Pound and Mr Akgul are now home from Barcelona after competing in the 2025 World Championships. Mr Akgul won his first round of sparring, unfortunately picking up an injury that left him unable to continue. Mr Pound made the Quarter finals in patterns and finished in the top 10 for destruction as an individual. He also picked up a bronze for his part in the adult male team patterns. A solid performance from both competitors.
