Taekwondo success for Manx clubs at Scottish event

by isleofman.com 27th March 2012

Manx taekwondo clubs secured a one-two at a development competition near Glasgow at the weekend.

West Tkd from Peel entered the largest of the 15 teams with 35 competitors.

They claimed first place in the team award, bringing home 19 gold, 23 silver and 18 bronze medals.

Meanwhile Manx Tigers, who only took 10 competitors, managed to beat five larger teams to second place.

The competition is part of a league designed to develop talent for the future.

The Manx clubs are using the matches as part of their development towards the Scottish International Open in November this year.

The event included competition in both Olympic taekwondo sparring and technical forms, with some competitors from both clubs managing to get gold medals in both disciplines.

The clubs' students are licensed by the Isle of Man Taekwondo Association, which now has over 220 students across four clubs.
