T-UK Goodwill Championships Results

Weekend of 17th/18th May saw two events being ran by Mr Condie and his group Taekwon-Do UK,  firstly a seminar by World Renowned Taekwon-Do competitor Stephen Tapilatu and second the 3rd Goodwill Championships both being held in the Kelvin Hall, Glasgow.

On Friday evening students and instructors from GMAC attended a two hour seminar with Mr Tapilatu which covered sparring drills and techniques.  The first session for kids ran from 6pm – 8pm and worked on simple sparring exercises and kicking, the adults session ran from 8pm – 10pm and again worked on sparring exercises building up to the use of complicated kicking drills and how they are implemented in sparring competition.  Both sessions were very informative and for those who have never been on one of his seminars many new ideas were taken away, and we hope to see some of the techniques learned put into practise in the Dojang.

After the evenings seminars finishing at 10pm it was a late night for everyone, however an early rise the next morning was on the cards for the competition.  12 competitors from GMAC took part on the day.
