Taekwondo

Congratulations to PBC's Year 10 student, Tait Cushing, of Hartmann's Taekwondo Currumbin, who recently competed in Thailand at the 10th NSDF Taekwondo Championship. This was following a three day training camp with Champion Taekwondo, Bangkok, who have produced both National and World Champions. There were over 2000 competitors, 1800 of them fighting across two days. With 34 competitors in his division Tait won his first round fight progressing to the second round where he again won. Absolutely exhausted  after a 3:00am QF battle, he lost to Pakasit WAIYAYOD from Taipei who went on to win Silver. This is an outstanding achievement for Tait in his first ever international competition.

Cooper won all his fights by submission and got second fastest submission of only 7 seconds. In GI, Cooper fought against someone who was 5 belt division above his belt which is a massive achievement.
