Taekwondo International World Championships 2013

Congratulations to Mr Tony Casey from Blackrock Taekwon-Do Club, on winning 1st place in Destruction at the the recent Taekwondo International World championships in Coventry. Repeatedly putting his body on the line, he attempted every breaking discipline on the day. Several times he came close, as he finished just behind the eventual winner in both "Turning Kick" and "Reverse Turning Kick". When it came to "Backfist Strike" both Tony and Master John Arild Svendsen (8th Degree Blackbelt) from Norway quickly left the rest of the field behind as they smashed through multiple boards with both hands. After several successful attempts Tony was awarded the 1st place trophy and crowned World Champion.
