Taekwondo Central Welcomes New Blackbelts

Maya Smith, Ebony Bilcich, Ben Cole & Blake Shanahan, have all recently
moved up to Blackbelt, Ajana Plunkett makes her 3rd Poom (Jnr Dan) Black Belt
at a December Blackbelt grading with some 80 other State wide Blackbelts

Taekwondo Centrals 5 that passed were picked from over a dozen persons training to achieve
the high level in Taekwondo Centrals Blackbelt Pool

Ajana Plunkett was one of the highest scorers for the day, and we were very happy with the
students behavior, effort, attitude and addaptability to change,
they all deserved their next level just on the pure effort theyve put in.

Maya, Ebony, Blake, and Ben will now move to a new phase of their training by entering our
Advanced Blackbelt Master System, while Ajana has now will have a 3 year training stint to get
her 4th Dan Blackbelt. To achieve 3rd Dan is an amazing accomplishment that very little make
and especially considering she turns 14 this year.

Well done to you all, We are very proud of you

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

in the semifinal. Jake won a great Bronze in what looks to be a great future for him.

Jake is the current Australian Champion for his division

Our youngest member of the team was Jayme-Lee Smith (13) who competed in the

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

Justin Warren Named on “Wall Of Champions” for Taekwondo Achievements

Taekwondo Central Head Instructor, Mr Justin Warren was recently named on the
“Wall of Champions” for Collie where he grew up for his Taekwondo Achievements.

In a ceremony that was held at Roche Park, Justin was one of the recipients for a
variety of awards including Sports Person Of The Year awards.

Due to engine failure on the way to the award, Justin was stuck on the road while the award
was handed out which was accepted by his father, Robert Warren.

“I would like to give a heartfelt big thankyou to the people of Collie for allowing me this
huge honour, especially considering the high caliber of athletes that come from the mining town
including Olympians.”
“I was totally devestated to not be present to accept the award and I would
really like to thank Community Radio Announcer for nominating me. It ranks as one of my most
prized achievements to date.”
