It's been another busy weekend for Aquila...
Mia and Tobi were selected to attend the phase 2 bootcamp of "fighting chance" and they gave it their all. We will keep our fingers crossed they get an invite to the GB Taekwondo development programme.

Meanwhile, Leyla and Jake were due to take part in a training camp in Belgium from Friday. However, due to cancelled flights, there was a slight detour en route but now safely in Belgium, we wish them a fab experience.

Finally, Jakub has arrived in Turin, Italy with Master Kuzey and will compete in the European Masters Games 2019, later today. We wish Jakub the very best of luck! 🦅🦅 ... See more

Update on what's been happening in the club over the last couple of weeks. We've been so busy as so much has been going on!!

A couple of weeks ago we entered into the 2nd Kixstar Open. We took a large team but had a very successful day indeed! 33 sparring competitors and 10 Poomsae competitors resulted in a great medal haul of 18 x 🥇, 11 x🥈 and 12 x 🥉

We were very pleased with the following Team Results:
🏆 - 1st Place Team Trophy for Sparring
🏆 - 2nd Place Team Trophy for Poomsae

A special mention to Elora Jackson for winning "Female fighter of the day" after a thrilling battle which she won by TKO late in the 3rd round after trailing 136 vs 121 👊

After a busy day at the Kixstar Open, the following day was also busy with an Aquila Club grading. Well done to everyone that passed!

The following weekend, we took a smaller team to Derby for the 1st Kinder Scout Championships. Here we took both Poomsae and Sparring teams.

The Sparring team had only 6 competing whilst the Poomsae team had 8. Everyone performed really well, had some close matches and tough categories. Lots of lessons learnt and things to work on and develop. All in all, it was another great weekend and Aquila came away with 5 x 🥇, 4 x 🥈 and 7 x 🥉

Well done everyone!!

More exciting news to come... 🦅🦅 ... See more
