2009 All CA TKD Champs: Keith, Diego, and Tiffany

2009 All CA TKD Champs: Keith, Diego, and Tiffany

Please extend a big congratulations to our own 2009 All California Taekwondo Champions–Diego, Keith, and Tiffany.  Last Saturday, 14 Nov 2009, they participated in the Taekwondo tournament called the 2009 All California Taekwondo Championships held in Vallejo, California.

Diego competed in forms, board breaking, and sparring; Keith competed in forms and sparring; and Tiffany competed in forms and creative forms.  Each one of them has been practicing for weeks, and their efforts paid off.

Diego placed 1st in sparring, 2nd in breaking, and 3rd in forms; Keith placed 1st in forms, and 2nd in sparring; and Tiffany place 1st in forms, and 2nd in creative forms.

Each of them had some tough competition in the areas where they placed 2nd or 3rd, and where they placed first, they performed like true champions.

When you get a chance, please stop by to congratulate them.

Check out some of the photos below.  We’ll update the photos once we get more.  For now we have these; sorry about the focus, but we wanted to at least show you our competitors in the tournament venue.
