On June 25th a team of 14 JNT athletes, coaches and chaperones excitedly departed Melbourne airport and headed for Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur. In Malaysia they were to challenge some of the world's finest Taekwondo athletes at two international events, the "9th World Taekwondo Festival" and the "Malaysia Selangor International Championship"
The team of JNT athletes included Rudolph Nunes, Adrian Chee, Taner Hikmet, Jerome Tseitlin, Kostan Ioannou, Alexander Khun, Janelle Hocking, Jasmine Hocking Zumre Akalan and Christina No. This dedicated and talented team performed wonderfully, show casing their professionalism and determination on the world stage and proving themselves true JNT athletes
The Joon No's Taekwondo athletes gained invaluable experience whilst in Malaysia, not only as athletes in their journey to becoming the world's best, but more importantly as people progressing mentally and physically and learning values such as independence, responsibility and self confidence. The trip has provided much needed international experience and exposure to our athletes and will prove extremely beneficial in their development for the future.
Congratulations to all the JNT Crew who performed brilliantly, and thank you once again to Master No for your endless support and encouragement
Last but not least a very big thank you to our sponsors for making such trips possible for our up and coming athletes!
