Local martial arts champs bring home Taekwondo medals

Submitted photo Prosper taekwondo athletes compete in the 2012 USA Taekwondo National Championship Tournament held in Dallas this summer.

Take one major North Texas city, the 2012 USA Taekwondo National Championship Tournament, 3200 of the best martial arts athletes in the country, and the school NTA Taekwondo Center. Mix those together and you get a school that dominated the Dallas Convention Center this summer.

With the Olympic games this year, the tournament was supported by the presence of the current Olympic Taekwondo Team members and had the largest attendance in USAT history. Their annual national championships are where these Olympians launched their way to Team USA. NTA Taekwondo came away from this Championship with 3 USA Junior National Team members, 2 Junior Prep National Team members, 3 Sr. National Team Trial qualifiers, 1 Poomsae (forms) Team member, 1 Individual and Poomsae Team member alternate, and 26 gold, 17 silver and 31 bronze medals.
