March 2013 Adult Promotion Test
We wanted to give a truly heartfelt thank you to all of the members of our community who showed up to support Kathy Chuang. Just having that group of people in the same room was remarkable – 5 of the original founders of the club, plus so many of the people who have made our community special over the years, whether in the competition group, through the adult program, or from our collegiate Taekwondo community. Kathy really expressed herself fully through her Taekwondo and put everything out there in front of her peers and students on the test, something that is especially difficult to do as an instructor. The test culminated with a long standing ovation that gave me chills. Thanks again everyone for the love and support!

Documentary: The Rivalry of MIT vs. Cornell
Filmmaker and Cornell Alum, Tim Gera, created this documentary about the epic 2005-2006 season rivalry between MIT and Cornell.
The rivalry between Cornell and MIT was as fierce as ever back then, perhaps fiercer. MIT was an upstart club and a relative new comer when they won their first ECTC (INCTL) cup in 2003. 4 years later, MIT had had quite a run and Cornell was working hard to get the cup back. Watch the documentary and see how the season unfolded! You’ll see some legends of the MIT Sport TKD club in action!
CW Taekwondo is honored to have some of these legends still within our community!
CW Instructor Heads To The 2013 National Team Trials!
Our very own Amy Malliet earned the opportunity to participate at the 2013 US National Team Trials at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO. As you know, only the top athletes in the country for each weight division are invited. The level was very high this year at the trials – included among the participants were multiple Olympic medalists, World Championships medalists, and Pan American medalists. In Amy’s division, there was some steep competition, including the reigning Pan American Champion (Lauren Hamon) and a former World University Champion (Sanaz Shahbazi).
Amy trained really hard for the competition and performed very well, finishing third overall. She had some tough losses to the two most experienced players in her division, but she definitely made them work for their wins, including several kicks that could have put her right back in the match missing her opponents’ heads by just inches on several occasions. Amy really trained hard for these trials, and it showed in her strong performance against her very experienced opponents.
Amy was coached by me, and she had the support of Fredson Gomes who was there every step of the way, and both of her parents, who were there on-site as well. I know that this trip would not have been possible without everyone’s financial support and the support of her teammates on the mat! I know it was very special to her how the youth, adult and competition programs came together to rally behind her.
These trials represented a return to elite competition for Amy. While these were Amy’s fourth national team trials, it was her first in several years, and she has been enjoying the process of returning to training consistently and at a high level over the past few months. She will next be aiming for this year’s national championships this summer in Chicago, IL, and improving on her bronze medal performance from 2012!
Great job Amy - we are all proud of you!
