We are looking at bringing Doug Robbins over from Nova Scotia to give a refresher course on the tournament rules for both referees and judges on June 7th. 

The course will be open to any members of the WTF Taekwondo Association of PEI over 12 years old including parents of members who maybe interested in judging at a competition or just learning more about the rules at tournaments.

We will let you know what the times will be as well as the cost in the next week. Please let me know if you are interested by emailing me at michael.ives@netlegal.ca or posting a comment below.

Thank you,

Prince Edward Island was represented very well this weekend at the 2008 Taekwondo Junior Nationals in Quebec City. Zach Purchase, Andrew Cameron and Devin Li were all in different weight classes in Division “B” with Jeff Landrigan and Tyler McNeill fighting in the older Division “A”.

The guys all fought very well rising to the challenge against difficult opponents with every one of them having great matches with most scores being close decisions within one point and at the most two kicks in the difference.  We will be posting some video of the fights in the next couple of days.

Devin Li made it to the podium bringing home a bronze! Please join me in congratulating the whole team on a great showing after a lot of hard work and intense training.

I would also like to thank our cheering section who were not to be out done by the larger crowds from Quebec and Ontario. Thanks for your support everyone!

Great job by everyone who tested for Yellow Stripe and Yellow Belt on Saturday.  You should all feel very proud of yourselves.

The colour belt test for Green Stripe and up will be held on May 30th at 11:00.
