Scottish Champs – 13.05.17
Sutton Coldfield Tae Kwon do club gained success again at
last weekend’s Scottish Championships.
Mr & Mrs Collett, instructors at the club, made the 500
mile round journey to Motherwell last weekend to take part in the GTUK Scottish
championships.
After a tiring day refereeing the dynamic duo hit the mats
in their respective categories. Mr Collett took home his first medal at this
particular event in patterns. He put in a remarkable performance to beat people
with much more experience after only grading, and moving into this category,
last month!
Mrs Collett put in her usual, consistent solid performance
to defend her double title from last year, earning the gold medal in ladies’
patterns and sparring. When asked about her performance she said “As captain of
the GTUK England ladies team I always feel a bit of pressure going into events.
I’m the one to beat, the one with a target on my back, so to defend my double
title feels amazing”. She wasn’t quite finished there, however, as she competed
in the power breaking event later on in the day and earnt her first ever medal
in this event. Unfortunately, not a gold this time, but a bronze after some
consistent breaking across a variety of techniques.
This success at tournaments places the pair in good stead
for their individual and GTUK team preparations for the ITF World Championships
which are to be held in Holland in September.
