North Mon Taekwon-Do
ITF Taekwon-Do World Championships 2013 - Benidrom, Spain
North Mon Taekwon-Do club have just returned from the ITF Taekwon-Do World Championships. The event, held in Benidorm, Spain, took place from the 23rd
to the 27th of October. Over 1000 black belt competitors from 58 countries took part in the world championships. It really is one of those exciting events of the
calendar year, so many different nationalities and such a wealth of talented competitors. To come home from this athletic occasion a winner is indeed a mark of
great achievement, so well deserved congratulations are in order for this North Mon team.
I got a chance to catch up with, and offer my congratulations, to Mr Pat Barry head instructor of North Mon. Pat was effusive in his positive commentary on the
results, saying, ‘ we are so proud of the members, who competed so successfully. We were hoping for 1 maybe 2 medals, but to return home with a total of 10
was beyond our wildest expectations.’ We at CMAP are delighted to report to you that the members of North Mon took the Junior divisions of the World
Championships by storm.
The ten medals were won by the following competitors:
Mr Adam Foley
Silver Individual 1st Degree Patterns,
Silver Individual Sparring -75kg,
Gold Team Sparring,
Bronze Team Patterns.
Mr Dean Murphy
