South-East Taekwondo U-18 Championship Will Live Up To Expectations — Chairman

By Stanley Nwanosike on July 28, 2021

The Chairman, Enugu State Taekwondo Association, Ebere Amaraizu, has promised that the upcoming South-East Taekwondo U-18 Championship will live up to its expectations.

Amaraizu made the promise on Tuesday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu.

He said the championship, slated to hold on Aug. 21, would create a platform for the discovery of future taekwondo champions from the grassroots.

NAN reports that the championship tagged, “South-East Taekwondo Poomsae Under-18 Championship”, is being organised by the Nigeria Taekwondo Federation (NTF).

Amaraizu said: “We thank the NTF for their choice of Enugu as host for the national tournament, which is not easy to come by.

“It is an honour and recognition that the game of taekwondo is drastically going higher in Enugu State.

“We recently organised state taekwondo poomsae event during which our athletes from our Taekwondo  Kiddies Class participated and emerged victorious in their various categories.”

Amaraizu said the upcoming championship was being supported by the Police Campaign Against Cultism and Other Vices because it revolves around children and youth value reorientation, self discovery and strategic leadership direction.

“The event will feature black belt Kukkuwon grading and there will also be National Taekwondo Referee Course.

“Other categories include Kiddles between U-5 and U-10 years, Cadets between U-11 and U-14 and Junior between U-15 and U-17 years,” he said.

Amaraizu, who is the supervisor of the Local Organising Committee, said, “I am optimist that stakeholders involvement will be a good tonic for overall achievement of the essence of the all important event.

“The competition is meant to shoot the game of taekwondo up in the southeast and Nigeria.” (NAN)
