Dunedin Taekwondo Club principal Victoria Jeon said members from the Dunedin Taekwondo Club had a very successful competition. They won 25 gold, 19 silver and 18 bronze medals in sparring and poomsae, including a gold win for Enuslay. Taekwondo is a martial art that uses hands and feet to attack or defend without weapons. She said it was a unique Korean martial art, not a simple fighting technique. Taekwondo aims for mental and physical training and self-perfection, she said.
