The Team with the Winner's Shield

Taekwondo beginner Hesham Dar said: "As a beginner to Taekwondo, this competition was a little nerving on the days leading up to it. However once we arrived at the venue and familiarised ourselves with the event, the focus was on competing with the skills we had practiced in the few short months.
The fights were exciting to watch as well as participate in, and everyone showed their support to their team. This first competition was a lot of fun and a whole new experience to many of us, and for me, one that I’d like to compete in again".
