3rd Annual "Get Ya Feet Wet" Competition Kicks Off 2019 Activities
10 Feb 2019 BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - The 3rd Annual "Get Ya Feet Wet" Competition lived up to its name as the National Association kicked off its 2019 calendar of events with a well-contested event. Athletes showed keen edge and high spirits as they returned to competitive action following the Christmas Holidays. There were also a number of new faces and players making their Kyorugi debuts. There was even a Guest Official as Master Zach Miner from Iowa, USA shared in Referee duties. He also paired with our newest Female Cadet 1st Poom, Liana Best-Smith of Williams' Taekwondo Dojang in a dual synchronized exhibition of the Koreo Poomsae which brought warm applause from those on hand. Also performed was the rare mass rendition of the Il Jang Poomsae, as all competitors, referees, judges and officals donned their Doboks and stepped onto the mat to perform the Poomsae in unison to the delight of all in attendance. After the medal ceremony President Turton congratulated the athletes on their great work. He also highlighted the efforts of the Executive, Events and Referees Committees, encouraging all to maintain excellence. A representative from Azure Gourmet Skin Care products was also on hand as the company donated an Apple Monitor/ Screen for display of scores during the Association's Taekwondo Activities. We thanked Mr. Burnett for the donation and encouraged him to continue the pursuit of excellence as Taekwondo is about the journey and way of life which extends beyond the mat, Dojang and competition. |
