Recently YCTKD sent 3 girls to the Canadian Junior National Taekwondo Championships in Vancouver, B.C. Alicia Camacho looked sharp in 3 matches as she took home the gold in female flyweight while Sydney O' Shaugnessy matched her teammates performance with a gold of her own in the female bantamweight division. Jenalyn Palacios fought with a lot of heart through seven matches earning herself a silver in the female middleweight division. Congratulations girls, everyone at YCTKD is very proud of your performances and look forward to your next competitions!

As YCTKD prepares to launch its newest program, "Troop 44", in September, a few "Original Troopers" got one step closer to making their Olympic dreams come true. Earlier this summer in Mississauga, Ontario, YCTKD earned 3 spots on the Canadian Junior and Senior National Teams. National Team members include former Hillcrest Elementary students Siddu and Shashank Bhat and former Holy Rosary Catholic Elementary student Matthew Ricketts. All three started at a young age and used taekwondo to build confidence, exercise and have fun. A decade of hard work later and they are now national champions! Start building your dreams with Troop 44, starting September 6. If they can do it, so can you!

Young Choung Taekwondo Academy recently had a “Poomse Bootcamp” to help our competitors, instructors and future instructors work towards High Performance poomse training. Conducted by Master Danrey Velo of the Phillipines, the workshop was very informative on how the poomses are performed and taught for international competition and everyone was able to learn something new! We at Young Choung Taekwondo Academy thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences and wish you the best of luck back home in the Philippines. Mabuhay!
