The Real Fireworks
came in the Challenge Matches that took
place after regular play.
The fun began when coach Bob offered to
"put my Green Belt up against one of your
Black Belts".
In the end, two World Academy team
members, Christina Gerodimos and Stuart
Blue faced off in a round-robin series of
matches against a team of four 10-13 year
old boys from Clark County TKD, one 1st
Dan and three Junior Black Belts.
The boys from Clark County TKD were
forced to suffer the humiliation of losing 3 of
4 matches to "that little girl". Their
chagrin was much compounded, however,
when the "lowly Green Belt" from Master
George Tapia's World Academy of
Taekwondo and Hapkido shocked everyone
but Coach Bob by also
defeating three of Clark County's four black
belts.
Way To Go Team!
