Record numbers yet again at National Taekwondo Championships

By Master K. Jervis 7th Dan

 
The BTCB National Championships took place over the weekend of 30th and 31st January 2010.Emily Watson
 
Last years tournament had a record number of entries but with the sport continuing to grow in popularity this year’s event surpassed those figures with 493 players fighting for medals over this 2 day competition at Manchester’s Tennis centre.
 
All male and female senior categories took place on day one which saw some outstanding performances from athletes keen to showcase their ability with The London 2012 Olympics firmly in their sights.
 
The countdown to that event has already started and as the host nation Team GB is guaranteed 2 male and 2 female positions.
 
There are only 4 Olympic weight categories as opposed the normal 8 at all other international and domestic events.
 
With that in mind, players totally focused on being selected for the Games are now beginning to change weight categories so they can come up against quality athletes.
 
Everyone is well aware of the need to up their game this year. The Academy has space for more players but with the emphasis now being on closer more one on one coaching for their elite players only players of the right calibre will be considered.
 
They could be spotted at tournaments like this or via Sport Taekwondo UK’s 2012 Fighting Chance initiative which has seen over 1000 players apply from other fighting disciplines.
 
Over 200 of those have been invited to the next stage of this initiative for the physical tests, being supported by UK Sport.

Information Update: World Junior Championships & Youth Olympic Games Qualifiers & Junior Development

STUK has made the decision to cancel the residential Development Training Camps on 8 to 12 February and 15 to 19 February.  Whilst STUK has previously been able to make a contribution to camp and competition costs, we do not have additional funding to reduce participants' costs.  STUK's level of funding has been reduced for the current cycle: 2009-2013.  We recognise that as this will have to be a self funded trip by participants that a training camp would have added excessively to costs.

Whilst costs for attendance to Mexico are very much dependant on travel options/selection, i.e. costs to represent GB at the Qualifiers and Junior Championships involves a longer stay increasing accommodation and food costs, it is anticipated that costs could range from £1,000 to £1,800+.  Costs will be more precise once the team size is defined.

STUK will fund the attendance of support staff and cover athletes' entry fees and travel insurance.
