A club statement on 30 April emphasised that the value of the competition extended beyond podium finishes, highlighting the opportunity for athletes to benchmark their progress against competitors abroad.
“Experiences like this continue to raise the technical level and athletic capacity of our athletes and we are excited about what lies ahead,” it read.
The event was hosted by Master Marcello Cancelliere of Red Tiger Taekwon-do, who was commended for organising a high-quality tournament that provided a competitive platform for developing athletes.
The performance comes as AXA ITF Taekwon-do marks its 25th anniversary, with the Red Tiger Cup representing the first of several major events planned for the year.
The team acknowledged the role of parents and supporters, whose fundraising efforts helped make the trip possible.
