Taekwondo Team to represent Barbados at 2023 CAC Games Confirmed
30 May 2023
Barbados will be represented by four (4) athletes and two (2) Coaches in Taekwondo at the 2023 Central American and Caribbean [CAC] Games. The Team comprises: Chioke Holder and Liana Best-Smith in Kyorugi, along with Kristin Turton and Che Wiltshire in recognized Poomsae. Having qualified the Quota spaces in four separate events, the indication confirmation came from the Barbados Olympic Association.

President Turton mentioned the significance of this outing for Barbados: “We have come a long way and the athletes put in a lot of work. Not only do we have a record four athletes but two (2) of them are competing as Adult Female Black belts. This is huge for our Sport and I must commend the young ladies for their efforts. Not only that, but Barbados will be competing for the first time at this level in Poomsae or Forms which is the non-contact version of competition. Furthermore we will be contending both the Individual and the Mixed Pairs events for Recognised Poomsae. This is another big step in our development because Barbados has traditionally only competed Internationally in the Kyorugi or Sparring event. However, the members from the NADPRO accepted and undertook their respective challenges and have been rewarded with births at the CAC Level. I am very happy for them and what it represents in terms of progress for Taekwondo here in Barbados.

Excellent news for Barbados as World Taekwondo releases its 2022 MNA Survey
28 May 2023
World Taekwondo released the results of its 2022 MNA Survey during its 36th General Assembly on the occasion of its 50th Anniversary in Baku, Azerbaijan. Barbados was assessed a score of 29 out of a maximum 50 and was placed in the B1 category of countries. According to President Turton this was a huge deal because it showed Barbados among the best run Taekwondo Federations in the World! He mentioned, “there were only thirty-two (32) countries with a higher ranking than Barbados, of which only six (6) obtained the A1 ranking and twenty-six (26) were grouped in A2.”

He went on to add further context by stating “World Taekwondo has two hundred and thirteen (213) member countries (212 at the time of the survey). Whilst 163 completed the survey, it places us very highly among other developed countries and MNAs with likely far greater resources. I must also point out that our Council had identified at least one area where we could have scored two (2) additional points by simply enabling public viewing for a pre-existing document on our Association’s Website. Had that been done prior to the survey, Barbados would have been among the A2 grouping.”

President Turton expressed gratitude to his Executive Council Team, Members and all Stakeholders who have supported the organization – particularly over the past six (6) years, without whose support the organization could not have made such significant strides. He also highlighted the support from our NOC - the Barbados Olympic Association, who was there during the organization’s most trying times and continues to provide steadfast support in the TAB’s developmental efforts.

Turton and Holder leave Barbados for Azerbaijan to compete at the 2023 World Taekwondo Championships
26 May 2023
​BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - Chioke Holder will be representing Barbados at the 2023 World Taekwondo Championships in Baku Azerbaijan. Holder, who has been training with the NADPRO and hails from Robust Taekwondo Academy said he was excited about the opportunity and was looking forward to competing with the best in the World and making his country proud. This is the first time Holder will be competing at the World Championships, which is second only to the Olympic Games for Taekwondo in terms of prestiege.

Holder will be guided by World Taekwondo Level 2 Coach, Master Henderson Turton, who is also his Instructor from Robust Taekwondo Academy. Mr. Turton will also represent Barbados in his Presidential capacity at the 36th World Taekwondo General Assembly to be held in Baku, Azerbaijan, on the eve of the World Championships. This will be the third time Mr. Turton is attending the World Championships but his second in a Coaching capacity – having last done so at the 2019 edition of the Championships and represented Barbados as an MNA Official at the 2017 edition.

According to Coach Turton, Mr. Holder has been working well over the past few years and only a few months ago completed his first full year competing on the International circuit. “The experiences from last year’s Presidents’ Cup and the Qualifiers for CAC Games and Pan Am Games earlier this year will hold him in good stead. He continues to improve on every outing for Barbados and I expect nothing less than his best at this Championships, and would be pleased for him to create some history and advance out of the first round in this weight category for Barbados.”

The Team left the Grantley Adams International Airport on Wednesday night and is expected to reach the city of Baku in Azerbaijan some 25 hours later via London and Instanbul.

History for Barbados at Pan Am Games Qualifiers – Brazil March 2023
18 March 2023
CHRIST CHURCH, Barbados - Barbados dispatched a four person Team comprising Three Athletes and one Coach to the Pan American Games Qualification Tournament in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. They were Chioke Holder, and Che Wiltshire in Kyorugi; and Che Wiltshire and Kristin Turton in (Free Style Mixed Pairs) Poomsae; while the Coach was Mr. Adrian Burnett.

Moreover, it was the first time Barbados had undertaken to compete in the Freestyle Poomsae Mixed Pairs Competition. Che Wiltshire and Kristin Turton accepted the challenge from President Turton earlier this year and committed themselves to preparations for competing in what was a new format to competition for the Team and Country. They rose to the occasion and made a creditable mark for Barbados.

Though not scoring high enough to secure an outright birth at the Pan Am Games, the process and representation was quite significant for Barbados. As Mr. Wiltshire pointed out – “I can see the significance to the development of Taekwondo in Barbados”. Indeed Poomsae preserves much of the Art of Taekwondo and the preparations process challenged the NADPRO to break new ground.
​
President Turton was proud of the Team’s performance and commitment made in their preparations in a relatively short time. He underscored the significance of the Poomsae showing for the advancement of Taekwondo at the competitive level, pointing out that it “clears the path for those interested in the non-contact aspect of competition to access options for representing their country”. Kudos were also extended to Mr. Leaton Watts who assisted the Poomsae Team in their choreography and creative preparations. Whilst the Kyorugi Team did not secure an outright spot for the Pan Am Games the experience was invaluable to the Team as a whole, including the Coach.

Barbados now has Two World Taekwondo Level II International Coaches Certified
18 March 2023
BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - Barbados now has two Level II World Taekwondo Certified International Coaches. They are Mr. Adrian Burnett and Mr. Henderson Turton.

Mr. Adrian Burnett successfully upgraded and qualified as a Level 2 Coach after successfully completing the training between 15th – 21st March 2023. Mr. Burnett, who serves in the NADPRO and is also the Instructor for UWI Taekwondo and Burnett Taekwondo Academy expressed satisfaction with the Qualification. He joins Mr. Henderson Turton as a World Taekwondo Level II International Coach. Mr. Turton successfully completed his refresher course last month in February, having first attained the qualification in 2020. It means Barbados has two options for persons to Coach at all WT Events except for the Olympic Games, which requires a special qualification.

President Turton pointed out the significance as it allows Council an additional option for carrying athletes to high level WT International competitions for Barbados and is timely as the National Athlete Development Programme (NADPRO) continues to roll out in 2023. “This provides more flexibility and checks off another step in the 2021-2025 National Strategic plan.” Congratulations is extended to both gentlemen.

It is a reflection of some of the developmental strides we have made in recent times and the variety of opportunities accessible to athletes from Barbados.

Taekwondo Team Wins Three Medals in Heredia, Costa Rica
27 February 2023
HEREDIA, Costa Rica - Congratulations are extended to members of the Barbados Team who won three medals between them on their recent trip to Costa Rica! Bryce Turton won Gold in Kyorugi competing in the 6-7 Dragons division for Boys at the Infants Championships; whilst Che Wiltshire captured Bronze in the Men's Individual Recognised Poomsae at the Pan Am Series, and Liana Best Smith had Bronze in the Women's Kyorugi also at the Pan Am Series.

There were a number of other noteworthy results from the trip including the following:
  • Gold Medal for Bryce Turton in the Pre-Cadets F category at the Pan Am Open Infants Championships:
    • With in-game adjustments, character and determination, he overcame a first round deficit [4-8] to win the second round [8-2] and force a decisive third round against his opponent from El Salvador and then swept the third round [8-0] to claim victory.
  • Bronze Medal for Che Wiltshire in Men's Individual recognised Poomsae at Pan Am Series II:
    • Overcame prohibitive nerves on International debut from the day before at the CAC Qualifier to perform better and post a better score to claim 3rd place.
  • Great showing by Chioke Holder in Senior Men's 87+kg at Pan Am Series:
    • He showed much improvement in skill, great confidence and stood up relatively well against the former World Champion and reigning Olympic Bronze medalist [Rafael Alba from Cuba] forcing him into some uncomfortable situations.
    • Holder was leading for much of the first round before being edged [4-2] but even gained a nod of approval from his opponent. 
According to Coach Turton, "the overall Team performed well and the experience will serve them in good stead going forward. He added that "Best-Smith wanted Gold but had to settle for the Bronze and I hope she can build on this experience and come back stronger. It was unfortunate Stoute got injured in his match, having started so well. He was bouncing back from a harsh debut at the Qualifiers but was looking more like himself before sustaining the injury. We will have to manage his recovery process well so he can return even stronger and have a long run ahead of him."

President Turton pointed out that the NADPRO is an important part of the National athlete production machinery and as a dedicated program, it is intended to provide  the best preparation for athletes and the best readily available options for selectors when considering competitors to represent Barbados. However, it does not mean that suitable persons outside of the NADPRO will be not be considered for selection. Apart from the performance monitoring and review mechanism, the Technical Director may also recommend additional persons to join the NADPRO officially whilst interested persons may be allowed to train with the Group periodically.
