The Estevan Taekwondo Club held their Invitational Tournament at the Estevan Comprehensive school this afternoon and came away with more than just a few medals. 

"The tournament was very successful," shared Senior Instructor Warren Morrical. "We had 83 individuals competing today. We had a wonderful turnout of spectators and family to support the students that attended. We had three rings that were running all day and I think everyone was very pleased with the manner in which it was done."

The tournament consisted of a pattern competitions where student of different disciplines show the work they have done. Patterns are scored on a variety of aspects including accuracy, balance, timing, smoothness, power and rhythm. 

There was also a board breaking demonstration followed by sparring. 

"I was very pleased with everything that I saw. Everyone competed extremely well at the levels we expected them to. Everyone was very good amongst their fellow martial artists. I saw an awful lot of respect, and I saw an awful lot of great competitions, so I'm very pleased."
