No sooner than we finish with a massive 2 day championship and our team was off to another one, the very next day.
The 9th Gewinn Malaysian Open Championship 2026, this was an unusual competition, as it was held in a shopping centre in Klang.
We did not know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprise with the standard of fighters and numbers of top athletes that attended (1,000 plus fighters in one day.) 6 rings were set up and the competition ran smoothly, with the opportunity to shop ,eat and get a foot massage while you were waiting between fights.
Each of our members had more than 10 fighters in their divisions, which means at least 3 win to make the finals.
Learning quickly from their last competition, our members rose to the occasions and establish themselves as the team to beat, even having the locals cheering Aussie, Aussie😆.. for our team Rawlins.
Well done to my students for rising up and meeting the challenge I gave them, it is very hard to compete in a back to back Taekwondo championship, overcoming the injuries and bruises, and mentally prepare your body and mind to do it all over again.
I am so proud of each and everyone of you, you are the foundation that i will build my next group of champions from .
I would also like to say a huge thank you to our team manager Irosh, who worked tirelessly running around and getting all the fight numbers and making sure everyone was ready at their rings .
My left and right hand. Tony and Cameron, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so so much.
Without the two of you by my side and helping out in every way possible,there is no way i could have managed and got through these 2 championships.
Your friendship and support means more to me than i can express in words 💕💕..
