Greetings
Dear Taekwondo Family Members,
I would like to extend my warmest greetings for the New Year of 2012.
The anticipation has been mounting and another exciting Olympic year is upon us. Yet these Olympics have a new
and even more exciting element that highlights the World Taekwondo Federation’s theme for 2012, “Spreading Hope
and Dreams to the Youth of the World.”
August of 2010 marked the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in Singapore. Since this incredible event, we have watched
as the youth of the world have begun to blossom through their hopes and Olympic dreams. Already champions of
the first-ever Youth Olympic Games will be competing in London as Olympians this year. However, these hopes and
dreams are the right of every youth around the world.
At the WTF Council meeting in Vladivostok, Russia in July 2011, and ensuing e-voting of the General Assembly, the
WTF approved motions to establish WTF Taekwondo Peace Corps and WTF Taekwondo Demonstration Team. These
decisions will help facilitate Peace Corps activities to focus on youth taekwondo programs particularly those in the
greatest need such as orphanages and youth in displaced populations. They will additionally further help promote
and develop the sport of taekwondo to help bring kids off the street and into a disciplined and goal-oriented way of life.
In 2011, the 3rd World Youth Taekwondo Camp, jointly organized by the WTF and the Taekwondo Promotion Foundation,
drew a total of 254 athletes aged 14 to 20 from 27 nations around the world. We are confident that the camp will draw
a greater number of nations and athletes this year. I hope that each of our members will do their utmost to provide this
opportunity for their young athletes to come and train with Olympic medalists, experience cultural exchanges, and learn
of the principles and values of the Olympic spirit.
Aside from the 2012 London Olympic Games in August, the year will also celebrate the 9th WTF World Junior Taekwondo
Championships in Sharm El Sheik, Egypt. It will also mark the 2012 World Cup Taekwondo Team Championships.
This World Cup will be the first time to be held under the new format of the 5 on 5 team format, which has yet to be
finalized. This exciting new format would bring a new dynamic element to our sport and the WTF is very excited for a
continuation of the evolution of our sport.
These Olympic Games in London are a very important event for the WTF. The countries that win medals or the
number of medals won by any particular country will not determine the success of these Olympics. The only factor
that is important for success of the London Games is a fair and transparent competition, upholding the principles of
Olympism. This will help ensure taekwondo’s position as an Olympic sport and uphold the excellence of our sport to
world, especially the youth.
The Olympic Games bring a spirit of sportsmanship, triumph, and glory to all that have ever seen or witness their
greatness. But this can only be achieved by the hope that is instilled within us that it is possible to achieve this, and it
starts in the heart of the youth. This year, we begin a greater effort of spreading these hope and dreams to them. Even
as each human being has the right to have these in their lives, surely it is our young ones that most urgently need them
today. The youth of today are the champions of tomorrow!
I would like to wish everyone an incredible year in 2012. I am looking forward to great things within our family this year.
And may our deeds not only bring hope and dreams to others, but bring them alive within us, as well!

Nathan Kerr
Receives the
Anne McGettigan
Memorial Cup
Nathan Kerr received the Anne
McGettigan
Memorial
Cup
for most improved student of
the year 2011 in Holy Trinity
TaeKwonDo Club.
The Cup is in rememberance of
Anne McGettigan who is the mother
to Lisa Kerr who is wife to Coach
of the club Brian. Anne helped
Brian and Lisa get the club started
back in November 1995.
She
travelled with the club to different
competitions at home and abroad
to show her support and will always
be remembered within the club for
her work. She might be gone but
never forgotten.
Nathan Kerr aged 10 years son of
Brian and Lisa goes to Holy Trinity
Primary School. He loves all sports
and anything to do with Pokemon.
He likes loud mad music like his
daddy.
Nathan has never got it easy
being the son of two black belts,
he has been made work harder
than everyone else and he knows
‘I can’t do’ does not exist within
his vocabulary. For years he has
wanted to win his Nanny Annes
Cup and he has been told he needs
to work that wee bit harder.
This year Nathan has not missed
a grading, he has trained harder
than ever, he has been to every
competition and seminar with the
TEAM and has done us all proud by
bringing back medals from Dublin,
Scotland and Belgium this year.
By the end of year 2012 he wants
his own Black Belt!
