Fighters Taking Top Queensland State Awards

(Jacob, Mustafaa and Renae with their awards)

Congratulations to Mustafaa Olomi on winning the Queensland Taekwondo 2008 Junior Athlete of the year award, Renae Perkins for the Outstanding Athlete Achievement award and Jacob White for Athlete Achievement award.

These awards are presented by Taekwondo Australia Queensland Division to its top members (athletes) in recognitions of their hard work, dedication, sacrifice and hours of training as well as competiting in various club, state, national and international competitions.

Each athlete is given points on their various achievements through out the yea, and at the end of the year all the points are tallied up to find the overall winner, similar to our trophy and awards presentation (now if only our state could follow the same fashion).

Well done guys, the whole Academy is proud of you.

Uni Games Champion

Jason Rocca returned recently from the Uni Games with 3 awards to add to his list.

The first was for winning the gold medal in the -78kg sparring division. The second medal was the "Green & Gold Medal" which is given to the top athlete at the games who showed sportsmanship, high level of athleticism and overall sporting ability.

He was also given the ECU's Player of the Games Award. This was the first time that ECU has given out this award and Jason was the inaugural winner from 186 athletes attending the Uni Games.

Well done Jason. We are all proud of you and we know that if you had gone with the rest of our team to Canberra for the Selection Event, you would have been on the Oceania Team as well.

Queensland Victorious Yet Again

We took 8 fighters to the 10th Wide Bay Championship in Bundaberg Qld last weekend and got 8 gold medals. All of the students fought very well especially our first time fighter Richard Trapp who was exceptional and made us proud. Well done Richard. The rest of the winners are Mustafaa Olomi, Jacob White, Jahan Olomi, Khaaled Olomi, Bilal Deen, Abdullah Houadchia and Mousaab Houadchia.

We had lots of fun in Bundaberg. Our next tournament is this weekend which we will take 9 fighters at Yun Hup Challenge.
