Alness Taekwon-do Academy

Congratulations to all the competitors who stepped on to the mats at the North of Scotland Junior Taekwon-do Championships on Saturday which was held at the Averon Centre in Alness. There was some great performaces across the board. The atmosphere was superb all day and good respect shown between the competitors and towards the umpires which was great to see.

A massive thank you to Grand Master Dunbar who kept proceedings running smooth all day, to all the umpires who gave up there time to referee all day without you there is no competition, to all the staff at the Averon Leisure Centre who were extremely helpful and accommodating, to all the helpers who helped setup and packed away and to everybody else who supported the tournament 🙌
