Team Taya had a fantastic time at the NSW State Championships held at Blacktown Leisure Centre, Stanhope Gardens last 12 August 2018 which served as the Selections for the Australian National Championships to be held in Bendigo, VIC from 22-24 September 2018 bringing home a total of 25 medals - 15 Golds, 7 Silvers and 3 Bronzes from our sparring and poomsae athletes.

We are off to Nationals! Well done Team Taya! Thank you for the support, encouragement and loud cheers from our parents and families and our dedicated coaches.
