Lauderdale, FL 13 Athletes went to the 2007 AAU Taekwondo Nationals 12 Medals were brought home in Olympic Sparring, Forms and Point Sparring Competition Outstanding Athlete of the event was Patrick Wilson. Patrick won the 14 - 17 Light Middle Division in Olympic Sparring against 21 other competitors. He won four of the five fights with a seven point gap. In Forms he won against 16 other competitors. In Point Sparring he won against 8 other competitors. This was his best competition of the over 60 he has competed in since beginning Taekwondo at our school at the age of 8.

Patrick, who is 17, will be competing up in the 18 -34 Light Weight Division where he must compete against 5 others in a round robin format for the coveted spot on the AAU Taekwondo National Team. He looks forward to the process of training to make the team. Below is an article about Patrick's accomplishment in the Atlanta Journal.
Special recognition to Tyler Farr for his great effort and performance. Tyler competed in all three types of competition as well. In Olympic Sparring in the 12 - 13 Black Belt Division he won his first three matches. He won his third match with a score of 8 - 1. His last fight was very exciting and came up a bit short. Tyler created the same excitement in Point Sparring when he fought for the Gold, but lost the final point in over time. Great job Tyler. This was just another part of the experience of training in Taekwondo for those that went to Ft. Lauderdale. Congratulations to you all......
