Mandurah Junior Harry Cartmell Wins Two Taekwando State Titles
"It was somewhat similar to a Rocky second, where you surrender and go 'aw better believe it'" said 11-year-old Harry Cartmell. Harry is a blue-belt in Taekwando, and on July 25 he contended in the state titles at the Belmont Leisure Center where he brought home two state titles. Harry's father Brendon Jones said he and his accomplice were 'glad as punch guardians'. 토토사이트 검증
"Harry's just 11 - it's a gigantic accomplishment," Mr Jones said. "He's very tall so he didn't get coordinated up to battle in his own age bunch."

"Harry came to the last yet tragically there was miscommunication - the mentor advised us to go to lunch, yet when we got back he was precluded in light of the fact that he should be in the ring.
"We needed a touch of recovery." Harry's mum Melanie Cartmell said Harry was amazingly dedicated to preparing, and which began as self preservation exercises transformed into tracking down a deep rooted energy. "Harry began Taekwondo when he was seven to learn self protection and fostered an enthusiasm for the game," Ms Cartmell said. "Harry trains three days seven days at Oh Do Kwan in Port Kennedy and two days out of every week boxing with Danny Heyes at Fighter Fit in Mandurah."
To win his two 2021 title titles, Harry contended in two battles, 20 minutes separated. "Harry contended in two competing divisions with rivals who were more established, heavier and taller and won both," Ms Cartmell said. "His first competing match was against a higher red belt who was 12 years of age in the 50-55kg weight division, and his subsequent match was a 14-year-old blue belt in the 52-60kg weight division. "Harry is 11 and tipped the scales at 51.8kg, there is a 200g stipend that certified him for the subsequent match." Mr Jones said everybody was watching with goaded breath.As he stood his ground against adversaries with experience and tallness on their side.
"The mentors were somewhat stressed over him."

Leading the pack up to the State Championship fights, Harry said he was loaded with nerves.
"I was apprehensive to such an extent that I felt wiped out, it was unquestionably nerve-wracking." Harry figured out how to shake it off and said it was all great in the end when he brought home the gold. "My main thing was winning the prizes and getting back home with gold," he snickered. "One day I'd prefer to contend in the Olympics." Until then, at that point, Harry and his family are at home watching the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, and perhaps witnessing into what's to come.
