THREE members of Heathcote Taekwondo Club were presented with new belts and certificates last week after achieving an extra dan on their black belts.<\/p>\n
Grand Master Jack Rozinszky who founded the club as a division of the Melbourne Taekwondo Centre more than 30 years ago made the presentations.<\/p>\n
“I am very proud of them,” he said. “They have worked hard to earn these awards.”<\/p>\n
Karra King received her fifth dan while Joshua and Wayne Ettwell received their sixth dans.<\/p>\n
“This is a wonderful achievement and will go around the world,” said Mr Rozinszky.<\/p>\n
“Wayne has kept this club going for more than 30 years. I am very proud.”<\/p>\n
After the presentation, Wayne Ettwell presented Mr Rozinszky with a donation to help rebuild the Glen Waverley division of the Melbourne Taekwondo Centre after it was destroyed by fire two weeks ago.<\/p>\n
“It has been a very disturbing time,” said Mr Rozinszky.<\/p>\n
“Fortunately, we were able to save some memorabilia, including Olympic replicas but the building was destroyed.<\/p>\n
“We were kindly offered the use of a school gym hall to use until we can rebuild.”<\/p>\n
The Heathcote Taekwondo Club trains on Thursday nights at Barrack Reserve starting at 6pm and offer the first two sessions free of charge.<\/p>\n
