Tigers Taekwondo

As an instructor, there is no prouder moment than presenting Dan certificates to your students and witnessing the pride and confidence that come from their achievements.

Congratulations to the four Macleod Tigers competitors who attended the Raptor Taekwondo Interclub Sparring event last Saturday! Each competitor had two matches, and the afternoon ran very smoothly.
Robert was up first and earned a well‑deserved silver. He won his first match against another blue belt, edging it out with better stamina and a great double roundhouse. His second match was against a red‑belt 2 who beat him, but a great confidence moment for Robert, showing really impressive maturity.
Liam came away with a bronze - his first match was against the eventual winner. In his second match Liam used multiple kicks, and kept his opponent backing up.
Brad won both his matches and took gold. He moved well, landed strong techniques, and handled a golden‑point finish in his first match.
Brandon had the toughest draw, facing black belts. He didn’t get a win but showed some strong moments, landing a beautiful spin roundhouse in the final seconds of one round and a perfectly timed back kick in another.
Thanks to Gary Ford for coaching and providing feedback for our Tigers Crew, and to Troy at Raptor Taekwondo and Zoe from Beaconsfield Taekwondo for a great interclub competition!

Congratulations to Bruce Williams from our Kinglake dojang for an awesome competition result at the Victorian Autumn Open sparring championship’s yesterday!
Bruce won all three fights convincingly, and scored with numerous spinning kicks to his opponents head and body - the highest value scoring techniques a fighter can use!
Bruce managed to decisively defeat a rival he had previously lost to in the final as well - great job!
A big shout out to Kazi, Tuan and the Schembri’s crew for looking after Bruce and coaching him on the day 🙏
