Yesterday, our dedicated team of competitors from Warwick & Leamington TKD set off bright and early for the Open Welsh Championships in Cardiff. With an 8:30 am registration, the day promised to be long and challenging, lasting until 7:30 pm. However, the excitement and anticipation kept our spirits high throughout the day.
The event was excellently well organised by Master Neil Ernest and his team, ensuring a smooth experience for all competitors. The standards at the competition were impressively high, showcasing the exceptional talent within the Taekwon-Do martial arts community.
We fielded a small but determined team of seven competitors, each prepared to push themselves and embrace the challenges ahead. Many stepped well outside their comfort zones, demonstrating courage and commitment. Their efforts truly paid off, as we proudly secured one silver and four bronze medals, well done all.
The day was not just about winning; it was about fostering a great team spirit. Each member supported one another, contributing to an atmosphere of encouragement and camaraderie. While we celebrated our achievements, we also recognised areas for improvement, with valuable insights gained for future competitions.
Overall, the Open Welsh Championships was a fantastic experience for our club, reinforcing our dedication to growth and excellence. We look forward to building on this experience as we prepare for our next challenges.
