Team Malta made an impressive showing at the European Games of Small States, held this year in Riga, Latvia, bringing home three medals from four competitors — a proud moment for Maltese Taekwondo on the international stage.

The Iron Taekwondo senior team, made up of Czarek Odlanicki (-87 kg) and Fergeson Galea (-63 kg), recently took part in the renowned Polish Open G1, one of Europe’s most competitive Taekwondo events. Led by coach Gianluca Barbara, the team faced a tough challenge as they went head-to-head with some of the sport’s elite.

The Malta Taekwondo Association recently hosted a special three-day training camp led by none other than legendary Taekwondo coach Hadi Mostaan. Held at the stunning Salini Resort on the 8th - 10th September, the camp welcomed athletes of all levels — kids, cadets, juniors, and seniors — who trained twice daily in an intensive yet inspiring program.
