Three members of Caterham TAGB Tae Kwon Do have won medals in the 9th Tae Kwon Do World Championship 2010. The event, held in Telford, was huge with over 17,000 competitors from 23 countries taking part, including eight students from Caterham TAGB Tae Kwon Do. Caterham's Colvin Frost became World Champion in the Blue Belt Pattern after competing against competitors from Poland, South Africa, Argentina and the UK.

Another member, Allan Cameron aged 43, won a bronze medal in the Blue Belt Heavyweight Sparring division. Allan, who started training just 18 months ago, fought four rounds against competitors who were much younger than him. He has also won various medals in the English and Welsh championships this year.

The third medal winner was 15 year-old Jordan Frost who teamed up with two boys from Wales and Ireland to win a silver medal in the boys Blue Belt Tag Team. Jordan and his team fought very well.

The final was a close match with the boys losing narrowly by just one point. Jordan has won various medals (individual and team sparring) in the English, Welsh and Midland Championships.

Caterham TAGB Tae Kwon Do instructor, Wing Lee, said: "The standard of the contestants was very high in all the divisions. The Caterham team gave an extremely good performance, mostly achieved by hard work, determination and self belief. It is a daunting task to compete in a major event such as the World Championship. As their instructor I am very proud of their achievements.
