SALEM, Montserrat (April 4, 2011) – A goodly crowd came out to witness students of the Chung Do Kwan Taekwondo School compete for trophies and medals last Saturday at the old Salem Primary School.
The competition was organised to give the students an opportunity to showcase their abilities and techniques and to raise funds for the school, run by fourth-degree black belt instructor Leonard Lynch.
Students vied for awards in their level in both taekwondo forms and sparring and were judged by a three-person panel in forms along with lawyer David Brandt, an avid martial artist.
The winners in the Best of Forms segment are as follows:
White Belt 1st Place Nia Golden 23/30
2nd Place Kasim Estwick 21/30
Yellow Belt 1st Place Noah Cole
Green Belt 1st Place Tavari Cabey 24/30
2nd Place Joshua Golden 23/30
Purple Belt 1st Place Kijuan Kirnon 18/30
2nd Place Sariann Greenway 12/30
Brown Belt 1st Place Aaron Lewis 27/30
2nd Place Kirk Brade 22/30
The winners in the sparring competition were: Kirk Brade, Kasim Estwick, Dashaun Bassaragh, Kijaun Kirnon, Sariann Greenaway, Shiloh Sweeney, Alfred Cole, Nia Golden, and Lirinette Cassell.
Parliamentary Secretary for Youth and Sports, Hon. Jermaine Wade, who is also a black belt in Taekwondo, said he was very pleased with the turnout and the support given by parents, members of the community and the businesses that sponsored the day.
