5.12.2012 / Třeboň Open - youth, junior and senior (tul, matsogi, t-ki & wirok) ( propozice & application form )
The Fourth Carp Haul
As a member of Czech National Team I decided to bring near to you the atmosphere at Třeboň Open tournament. The National Team had also the final sport camp there. The first training was at Friday from 5 to 7 p.m. It was an easier one. After warm-up we revised few patterns and after that we made pairs to practise combinations on pads. At the end of the training we jumped few special techniques. Then we did weighting for the competition so people who tried to lose their weight were lucky that it was straight after the training. In the evening we prepared the sports hall for the competition.
12.11.2012 / Czech national Championship
Way for the 2nd best school trophy at Czech Republic Championship 2012
Dear visitors of this webpage, if you read this article in order to find out which of our competitors won some medals, I have to disappoint you. I am not writing a phonebook here. Firstly, I don´t know who won which medal and secondly, it would be boring to read. So I decided to write this article as my reflection on this competition. Most of our competitors went to Nymburk together with instructors on Friday afternoon because of registration. Me and some other umpires from Sonkal thought that there should be veteran competition in the evening. I was looking forward to this evening because

25.10.2012 / Brno Team Open ( info pack & application form )
Team competition by Honza
In early Sunday morning of 21st of October 2012 we departed at horrible time (for it was Sunday) – at 6.30. Three cars departed from Černý Most and one from Červený Vrch (near Dejvice for those who don´t know). So we went by four cars and met in Tesla Aréna in Brno. When we arrived, tatami was already built and the tables and chairs for umpires as well. Some of us also brought their umpire clothing so they could determine the fates of other teams, mostly in children categories. The competition traditionally started with team line-up. At first sight it was obvious that there is less

Tomáš Vodička´s first European championship
On Sunday 13/5 we left Prague bus station Florenc and traveled to Brno where Kristýna, Martin Brabenec and Aneta Sequensová joined us. Rest of national team came from south Bohemia at half past 12 and after buying some basic food and drinks we continued to Sofia, Bulgaria. Our journey was really long and ways how not to get bored differed. We reached Dedeman hotel in Sofia at half past seven on Saturday. Everyone attacked bed and slept till lunch. Lunch was very colourful each time. Plenty of desserts was the best part. Behaviour of some competitors, especially from Ukraine was the wors

30.8.2012 / 10th Junior and 5th Veteran World Championship
Jirka Huml and his first World´s....
So my first World championship is over. It took place in Talin, Estonia this year. Talin is nice seaside city, full of monuments. We stayed in Dzingel hotel with pretty garden with two alcoves and other decorations. The hall was distant from our hotel so we travelled by bus provided by organizers. After first day we know that it is better to come early for the bus, to have place to sit. Hall was nice, but pretty small, at least there were one heightened ring (I saw this for the first time in my life). I was chosen by national team coaches as individual competitor for I. Dan patterns. I had

24.4.2012 / Nitra Cup (info pack & application form )
Great Nitra robbery
Just one day after grading, some of our competitors travelled to Nitra, Slovakia. It was third time we took part in this pretty young competition. Three cars safely brought 11 competitors to our weekend destination slightly after 6 P.M. . Hotel was near to city center so after weighing we took a walk....which ended in McDonald, of course by accident. Friendly chat drinking Kofola (really!) in hotel bar was great to calm our nerves and have good sleep after. Few information about this event: only patterns and sparring were scheduled, sparring from green stripes and possibility to compete in

16.4.2012 / Scotland South Inter School Tournament
Shame and applause on Scotland South Inter School Tournament
Becoming a member of UKTA for £25 in January, to be allowed to train at Firhill, had also another meaning. With my new UKTA licence I was also able to attend local competition which took place on 15th April in Glasgow. I was looking forward to this tournament since the first time I had heard of it. I was filled with expectations if Scotsmen will be better or worse and if I will be able to reach a medal position. Meantime people from Firhill Taekwon- do, where I practice, spread information that they have new I. degree from Czech Republic which is good at sparring. I was pleased by that bu

We left Prague on Saturday morning with Svíťa, brother (René Čapek) and Jirka Huml to reach Nymburk at 9:30 A.M. meeting rest of Sonkal. After registration and weighing we have enough time for preparations of different kind, because championship opening was scheduled to 1:30 P.M.. Our sights were stuck to supertall basketball players from Nymburk together with some US players. They went for training so we went for second breakfast. I did not order lunch so I was heavily food-sup
