Taekwondo Central Sparring Team wins 8 Gold, 4 Silver from 11 competitors at WA State Championships

Above – Zoe Brown shows her 2 trophies for 1st place

Taekwondo Centrals assualt on the WA State Taekwondo Championships was a great success for the sparring team winning 8 Gold, 4 Silver with Zoe Brown leading the way taking out 2 Gold in Black belt & Red belt divisions in her weight group

The sparring team success is a great reward for the many putting in the hours of training and the hard work of Melissa Warren, Jasmine Klumpp & Jake Klumpp. with a special mention to Jake Klumpp using his experience to coach with Justin for the great result

Most memorable moments for the team were Zoe Brown winning Double gold,  including winning the Blackbelt division (Zoe is still a Red Belt) and Liam Heidt &  Jayme-Lee Smith who dropped their opponents with well timed kicks to the head guard, both went on to raise the gold tally, Connor Peterson for a great silver medal who as a red 1 stripe beat a blackbelt and placed 2nd in the blackbelt division and Chris Guy who fought an under 18 competitor (though Chris is only 13) through agreeing to a catch weight due to both competitors not having a division, put in one of the most gutsiest efforts seen in a long time. Well done team

Jasmine Wins Oceania Olympic Qualifying Tournament – Preliminary Event

Jasmine Klumpp has continued her winning ways with an impressive victory at the Oceania Olympic Qualifying Tournament recently held in Melbourne

With a 12 – 0 win and 1st round stoppage in the first competition, followed by an 18 – 4, 3rd round stoppage in the following competition
In Jasmines third and final competition, her opponent pulled out, leaving her with the first place and qualifying her through to the Olympic Qualifying Tournament Australian Team Selections held in Perth during August.

Should Jasmine win, she will then get the opportunity to qualify Australia and possibly herself in the womens under 57kg blackbelt division. Its a tough ask but her last couple of competitions prove her quick rate of improvement
and scored 30 points with only 4 against her at this level is always promising. She is definately among the top breakaway group all contesting a possible chance to represent Australia at such a prestigious event
