Well done to Dave Crossland [right] who, along with myself, recently qualified as a British Taekwondo Control Board A2 Centre Referee and Corner Judge, further to attending the BTCB's combined course in Manchester; taking in the National Academy.
As a student of Jersey (Chungdokwan) Taekwondo, you could now represent Jersey in the Commonwealth Games !
In October 2010, the General Assembly of the Commonwealth Games Federation announced that the Olympic and World Taekwondo Federation sport of Taekwondo has now been added to the list of sports that are eligible for inclusion in future Commonwealth Games programmes.
And in respect of Jersey, the Jersey (Chungdokwan) Taekwondo club, through our affiliation with Taekwondo Chungdokwan GB and the BTCB, as the governing body for WTF Taekwondo in the UK, has constituted BTCB Jersey and has been accepted by the Commonwealth Games Association of Jersey as the official and representative body of the sport of WTF Taekwondo across the Island.
Essentially, as WTF Taekwondo is the only style of Taekwondo permitted to take part in the Olympics and Commonwealth Games, notwithstanding any National, European and World Championships, and moreover as the BTCB is the governing body for WTF Taekwondo in the UK, responsible in turn for selecting teams to compete at international level, then anybody wishing to train in the WTF code, and indeed any budding stars of the future, can therefore only enrol through Jersey (Chungdokwan) Taekwondo.
All we need now – for a clean sweep – is inclusion in the Island Games!
Congratulations to Ben, Andy, Charlie, Jagoda, Ed and Bart who, after successfully completing their grading on 19th July 2011, were promoted to their respective Kup grades.
