John Webster, a well-established coach in the European Taekwondo scene, recently visited the islands as guest of the Malta Taekwondo Federation. Webster has vast experienced and led many martial artists to win medals and honours in international competition.

He was here to coach the Maltese team that currently is under the supervision of Brian Saliba, the national coach. It was agreed that Webster will be assisting the national team with regular visits until next year's Games of the Small States of Europe in Andorra.

During his stay Webster tested the local athletes on their physical performance and discussed a new training programme with Maltese coaches.

Several drills were performed to enhance co-ordination and the agility of the athletes. Tactical strategies were even explained in great detail along with relative applications.

Those interested in Taekwondo may contact the federation on 9945-2010 and 9947-6883 (e-mail - info@mtf.org.mt).
