Tae Kwon Do World Champs

Wel­ling­ton has secured the rights to host the 2011 Tae Kwon Do (or Taek­wondo, Taek­wan-Do, or oth­er vari­ations, depend­ing on where you look) World Champs. 

New Zea­l­and fin­ished 3rd at the 2007 World Champs (note, link is to a PDF of the medals table), and, with the sport thriv­ing in NZ, the home team is expec­ted to do well with the next event on home turf.

To cel­eb­rate, the Inter­na­tion­al Taek­won-Do Found­a­tion of New Zea­l­and has organ­ised a Taek­won-Do demon­stra­tion today (Thursday 30 Oct), which will, ahem, kick off at 2:30pm at Civic Square.
