Good luck with winning it back next year Australian school of Taekwon-Do

We were 8 points behind after the breaking event, but managed to dominate the sparring rounds to get a great last second win 52-51 in the Battle of Brisbane. What an exciting finish!

Great job all of the Bai Rui students & instructors who helped get the win over the line!!
