Janine Watson is officially the Female P34 Poomsae World Champion in Taekwondo. Gordon is obviously very proud and shared these photos with the club. You may know that Taekwondo is characterized by its emphasis on head-height kicks, jumping and spinning kicks, and fast kicking techniques. After a little research I learned that Poomsae refers to the form. I also learned that the name taekwondo was agreed upon in 1959 by a group of the kwans (martial arts schools in Seoul) which were established after the end of WWII by Korean martial artists with backgrounds in Japanese, Chinese and Korean martial arts.
