A Vice President of Taekwondo NSW since 2006 and well known personally in the halls of Kukkiwon and the WTF, Mr Lee has committed himself to serve the wider Taekwondo community in Australia to strengthen our relationships with these bodies and further cement our place in the Australian sporting community as this country’s peak sporting body for Taekwondo.
Our other councillors elected to the national board include: Victorias own Rod Black, Hassan Iskander, Kate Eggar, Ivan Haschynski, Danny Crkvencic, and Fay Shacklock. They are joined by appointed independent councillor Rob Ferguson and expressions of interest have been called for a further two independent councillors to be appointed in the near future.
Setting the Record Straight
Many of you would be aware that Taekwondo Victoria and Taekwondo Australia have been under persistent attack for most of this year from a small but noisy new opposition organisation who appear to show very little regard for facts or the truth in what they publish on their website. Read more
Athlete Participation Support For AIS Selection Event
As previously advised, 2008 Nationals gold medalists in the 14-17 Black Belt and Open Black Belt Divisions will receive support in attending the October selection event in both poomsae and sparring. The Associations offer of support remains in place and will only apply to gold medalists who actually participate in the selection contest. Qualified athletes will receive a notice in the mail explaining the process for registering their participation details and will need to ensure that they comply with the stipulated closing date so funding processes are not delayed. The level of funding will be determined after the closing date and will be reliant on the number of applications received and the availability of funds for all coming competitions.
