A big congratulations to Buddiup participant Jack, who just landed home after a week in Queensland competing across three international Taekwondo events, the Presidents Cup Oceania, Australian Open, and Oceania Poomsae Championships.
With around 500 athletes competing from 19 countries, Jack picked up 3 silver medals from each event he entered.
To compete at this level he is classified by specialist doctors and assigned a disability class, with results counting toward his world ranking. He also attended the Australian Para Poomsae Training Pathways Program during the week to continue his development.
Nearly 20 years in Taekwondo and still going strong. π₯π₯π₯
