FORMFIGHTING WORLD CHAMPIONS

Joshua Zdybel and Phill Zdybel attended and represented Australia at the 2010 (IX Junior, XV Adult & I Senior) World Championships in Taekwon-Do ITF held in Cheongju, Republic of Korea, between the July 4 - 8th, 2010.

The event was preceded by the XI World Taekwon-Do Festival and Korean Classic Open held between June 30th – July 4th, 2010.

Phill Zdybel won a Silver Medal in the Senior Sparring during the World Taekwondo Festival and a Bronze Medal in power (Kyukpa) foot, He then went on to back up that performance to win a Bronze Medal in the ITF World Championships Senior Heavyweight Sparring and another Bronze Medal in Power Breaking.

As stated by Master Michael Muleta, Joshua Zdybel performed very well to be awarded a Bronze Medal in the creative patterns section of the World Taekwondo Festival. After five months of work on the pattern and in a unique and fitting twist, Josh combined both ITF and WTF patterns to take out the medal, in his first medal win in patterns at any level of competition. 

But having lack of opportunities to train with the rest of the Australian team and being Phill's major training partner for the previous six months before the event. Joshua was involved in a training schedule that include Taekwondo training along with extensive pool, running and cycling on a daily basis. In hindsight Joshua achieved a lot more, all medals are a credit to his efforts and teamwork with Phill.

We hope that all students feel very proud of their instructors achievements and feel rest assured that their Taekwondo development is in the hands of proven world class Taekwondo exponents.

It is fair to say that both boy's are very happy with a haul of five medals at world class championship level between the two of them. 

The entire Australian Team performed exceptionally well, taking close to 50 medals a best ever performance by an Australian Team with a very inexperienced squad who rose to the big occasion, a full report on all World Championships and Festival results, along with photos will be on the United ITF website (www.itftaekwondo.com/uniteditf)  in the coming days.

Sorting Activity days

These have been successful in development of students and ability's and as social and sporting outlets in 2007 & 08 as such they will continue in 2010.

On Sunday’s when and deemed necessary, Rain hail or shine. They will involve walks, runs, bike rides and the like. In the warmer weather hopefully a lot of swimming will be incorporated.

In my option both running and swimming are two very major elements that are strongly part of the martial arts that are often overlooked

So always bring your runners and the like. Has always locations will change, so keep in tune for where it will be at.

If you don’t want to run at these events then you can walk it.

For all sporting activity days I will keep you posted by text messages. As the sport and locations change due to the arrangements for these events being made at training during the week on a weekly basis.

It was good to see more turning out at these events and quite often we will have tea lunch together afterwards. At our last dinner we had sixteen people attend.

Remember that this is for everyone parents and the like. All members are encourage to attend and bring their friends and family along as well to participate.

Locations will be family orientated, so as such there will be always some where for the children to play

This is a good chance for all senior belts to catch up on things other than general training, such as form work and creates a social aspect for all who are involved in Formfighting.

Thus giving the association a sporting and social outlook.
