Spot an Aquila instructor... 👀

The World Championships are happening this week in Manchester and Aquila instructors, Master Kuzey and Master Terry have been asked to lead taster sessions for school children as an introduction into Taekwondo! There are over 1000 local school children coming along for the Taekwondo Taster sessions and get the chance to watch some top level athletes compete.

You can catch all the fights via the red button on BBC or online where you can see some of the best fighters in the the world! ... See more

Aquila has had yet another fantastic weekend competing in the London Poomsae Championships. Luckily for us it was just down the road!

We took a team of 21 and came back with 17 medals!

10 x🥇
4 x🥈
3 x🥉

The team did so well that we received the 2nd Place Team Trophy! 🏆

Many members of the team were regulars to competitions whilst for some it was their very first time competing. Everyone tried their hardest, battled their nerves and performed to their best on the day. It was lovely to see everyone being really supportive of each other.

Thank you to Master Azim Razak and Master Chi Lai for hosting a great event and thanks Master Chan Sau for the organisation as judging director. We look forward to the next one.

What another great day in the office! 🦅🦅 ... See more

Day 2 update from the 2nd Wales International Taekwondo Championships.....where to start?!?

Quite possibly one of the most successful days/weekends the club has had in competition. A small team of 13 fighters made their way to Cardiff in the hope to follow the success of the Poomsae team who achieved the 3rd Place Team Trophy.

The sparring team performed professionally and consistently across the board and as a result it took 18 matches before we suffered a narrow loss. The team closed out the day with strong performances in the finals to come home with the following:

Leela Jackson 🥇
Martin Mindov 🥇
Aaliyah D’Sylva 🥇
Cheney D’Sylva 🥇
Oliver Pachansky 🥇
Jake Pachansky 🥇
Jakub Pachansky 🥇
Aleksandr Adamenko 🥇 (Seniors)
Aleksandr Adamenko 🥈 (Juniors)
Ellis Titchner 🥈
Cameron Patterson 🥈
Elora Jackson 🥈
Matthew Meade 🥈
Callum Patterson 🥉

Team Award: 2nd Place 🏆

The results over the entire weekend would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the students and coaches and the support of the amazing parents we have at the club.

Poomsae Team: 🥋🥋🥋🥋🥋🥋
Poomsae Medals: 🥇🥇🥇🥈🥈🥉🥉
