2nd ITUK Midlands Open 2007 - Full Report & Results
On Sunday 29th April 2007 members of Master Wolfs Tae Kwon-Do Academies (MWTA) took part in the 2nd IUTF Midlands Open Championships, held in Derby. The students travelled up to Derby the day before to ensure they would be fighting fit for the competition!
The tournament was well attended with participants from many groups from around the UK, as well as some competitors from Ireland and Spain.
This year the tournament consisted of only pattern and sparring evens, differing from last years program.
The days events began with the black belt competition, starting with the pattern events and going onto the sparring. This was a welcome change for the black belts, to compete first, especially as many of them were then free to assist with the judging for the rest of the day.
The MWTA black belts were all pleased to be competing at the beginning of the day fresh! Between them the black belts amassed twelve golds, five silvers and seven bronzes.
Next up was the junior and senior colour belt competition. For many MWTA members this was their first tournament, however despite their nerves they all performed amazingly well. Most of the MWTA students picked up a medal or two, and the ones who didnt still gained valuable tournament experience which will help develop their Taekwon-Do.
This year, in place of destruction events there was a team demonstration competition. There were three entries and the spectators found this event extremely entertaining.
With all of the black belts helping with the judging the tournament was efficiently run and consequently finished promptly!
Master Wolf said he was very proud of everyone who competed, and he also wishes to thank Master Harry for hosting the event.
