On February 19th Red Star competitors attended the Scion Taekwon-Do Championships hosted by our friends in Scion Taekwon-Do, Little Island in Cork. Red Star had 42 competitors from across all different levels, ages and ability. The championship was the ideal event for those only new to competition to go and pit their skills against members of other Taekwon-Do clubs. Represented were clubs from across Cork, Tipperary, Wicklow, Wexford, Kerry as well as Dublin and as far as England. The Red Star troops performed gallantly in all divisions with the results of the recent speed and power development training showing in all areas. A special mention goes to the following competitors who won double gold;
Karolina Wymyslo – Gold x 2
Caoife Walsh – Gold x 2
Seb Glowacki – Gold x 2
Zanda Bluma – Gold x 2
Lauren Bradshaw – Gold x 2
