More than 50 boys and girls of different categories who participated in the coaching camp were imparted number of techniques by the Chief Instructor Abdul Qayoom Khan and instructor Ruksana Jabeen, a black belt.
Both the coaches expressed their optimism about the team’s performance.
“J&K was ranked 6th in the 21st championship and we hope this year we will make in the top two teams,” Chief Instructor Abdul Qayoom Khan said. “They (players) are well-equipped with the new techniques since they are talented.”
The selected players in the Sub-Junior group are, Sumera, Afreen, Mujtaba, Aqib, Ather, Mohasin, Arsalan and Sazim. In the Junior group, Junaid, Umar, Danish were selected. And in the senior group, Dr. Ishfaq and Muzaffar will be participating in the event.
In the First Don Black belt category, Chief Instructor Abdul Qayoom Khan and instructor Ruksana Jabeen would be vying for the title.
Chief instructor while talking to media said, “last year 65 students participated in the National Taekwondo Championship and we brought home two gold, eight silver and 12 bronze medals.” This year, he said, “the students practiced all through the year and we are expecting much better performance than last year.”
Khan said there has been so far no help from Sports Council and they were not allowed to organise coaching camps in the city’s indoor stadium.
“Taekwondo is the indoor game but we are not allowed to organise such coaching camps in the indoor stadiums by the Indian army who have occupied the stadium.”
