We support the German
Olympic Taekwondo national team
on their way to the Rio2016 Olympics
In 2000 the Korean martial art Taekwondo became an official discipline at the Summer Olympics in Sydney. Already then we supported and coached the German fighters, i.e. Faissal Ebnoutalib who became the first German Olympic silver medalist and Aziz Acharki who reached a 5th place. Being a world-class fighter Aziz lost unfortunately his preliminary fight against the out-standing and extraordinary Steven López from the USA.
Since then Aziz Acharki developed to one of the most sophisticated Taekwondo athletes. After his return from the Olympics we founded the Olympic Taekwondo Club Bonn. Aziz as a 3-times world champion, multiple European and international champion became a decade later national coach of the Germany Taekwondo (DTU) community.
Furthermore Fadime Helvacioglu from Bielefeld was the first female who participated at Olympic level in 2000:
- Faissal Ebnoutalib – SSV Dachau Ost
- Aziz Acharki – Olympic Taekwondo Club Bonn
- Fadime Helvacioglu – Kobra Bielefeld
