Western Australia Taekwondo Invitational Championship 2010 - Photos

I took a few photos at the Western Australia Taekwondo Invitational Championship 2010. Not too many of them came out as the action was a bit too fast and furious (maybe not for you karate afficionados) and many of the photos are blurry or just missed the action. So I've had to revert to the age old trick of pausing a video that I shot and doing a screenshot. Maybe not that age old.

Taekwondo lover - for sure

That back kick will bring a few tears to the eyes.

Kick to head.

Another kick to head.

Closing eyes before impact reduces the pain and is certainly the recommended technique.

Reverse spinning kick to head.

Western Australia Taekwondo Invitational Championship 2010 - Another Video

Another video from the Western Australia Taekwondo Invitational Championship 2010 held at Hartfield Park Recreation Centre today. This one stars Patrick from our Taekwondo Oh Do Kwan club in his championship fight against Jay [insert club name here]. The match was heading for a great finish but was brought, unfortunately, to a premature end by injury. This is my second effort with Windows Movie Maker (TM).

Western Australia Taekwondo Invitational Championship 2010

The Western Australia Taekwondo Invitational Championship 2010 was held at Hartfield Park Recreation Centre today. I made three videos of Jason from our Taekwondo Oh Do Kwan club in his championship fight and put them together with Windows Movie Maker (TM). This is my first effort with this program and I think that the result isn't too bad. Jason came back from five points down to record a stunning win. And there was little to argue about regarding the scoring as it was done with an electronic hogu (chest protector). Only kicks to the head are scored by the judges. Check it out.
