Your Invitation To Participate

On behalf of Sports Taekwondo Australia Limited,

myself and Joelie Chisholm extend a very warm invitation to you to participate in our third Australian

National Taekwondo Championships, which will be held in Bendigo Victoria, this coming August.

The third National Championships for Sports Taekwondo Australia Limited will also be a first. It will be the first event to be held in a regional City. We are very excited to be working with Bendigo Council in staging the event and we thank them for their generous support. The 2016 Australian National Taekwondo Championships will offer both colour belt and black belt divisions for poomsae and sparring, and provides the opportunity for our members to challenge themselves against Australia’s best athletes from all states. The event will also serve as sparring selections for all age groups to the 2016 Greater Oceania Continental Championships in October and for the Junior World Championships in November. The inclusion of Para-Taekwondo at the 2020 Paralympic Games means Para-Taekwondo will continue to grow in popularity. To foster its development and to give our athletes access to competition we are thrilled to offer a Para competition in both sparring and poomsae. These National Taekwondo Championships are positioned to be the premier national level taekwondo event in Australia this year and you will find all the information needed for registration within this general information package. Lastly, thank you to all the volunteers, referees and officials who have dedicated their time to make these events possible. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in Bendigo.
