Aaron Arndt recently competed at the Kukkiwon Cup – New Zealand National Team Selection & International Taekwondo Championships held in Christchurch on Saturday, June 7th.

This was the first time such a major Taekwondo event has been hosted in the South Island, and the level of competition was especially intense, with top athletes from both New Zealand and Australia participating.  Despite the pressure, Aaron delivered an outstanding performance across all his events. His dedication and skill played a key role in helping his club achieve the highest total medal count among all participating clubs.  In particular, Aaron fought through multiple tough matches in both the semifinals and finals, displaying resilience and determination. His gold medals were hard-earned and truly well-deserved.
