“In martial arts, the black belt is a way to describe a graduate of a field where a practitioner’s level is often marked by the color of the belt. The black belt is commonly the highest belt color used and denotes a degree of competence.”

The first unified Australian National Taekwondo competition was held in Adelaide, South Australia, between 5-7 December at the Super-Drome State Sports Park.
Poomsae
There were 12 competitors in the red belt, 12-14 division Adel was very happy to secure GOLD.
Sparring
After a very strong start (7:1), followed by several interruptions and penalties, Adel lost 8:9 and received SILVER
A special thank you to Matthew Donald for his guidance and coaching during the championship.
This was Adel’s last competition as a colour belt, well done.
JB Taekwondo Centre had its last competition for the year in October.
It was a good opportunity for everyone to evaluate their techniques and
to get ready for the National Championships, also for the next grading.
Adel received Gold in Poomsae and in sparring. She has also participated
in a demonstration fight.
After eliminating her American opponent, Adel lost her fight in the last second to her Chinese opponent. She scored a point exactly at the end of the match, although Adel was dominating and chasing her all the way to the end. A well deserved SILVER for Australia.

We have arrived in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, from there we’ve continued our journey for another 3 hours by bus, up in the high mountains. The new Taekwondo Park World Headquarters is situated in Muju County in North Jeolla Province, the birthplace of Taekwondo. The 570 acres area has been designed to prepare the body, inspire the mind, and complete the spirit, – and it does. The opening ceremony was uplifting and inspiring, – it is a real privilege to be here.
