Congratulations to Coach Martinez for his AAU Coaching Role in Alicante Spain!

Master A's coach and personal friend, Master George Martinez Senior, coached the AAU National Team at the Spanish Open in Alicante Spain! Colorado had a strong representation on the team since there were 4 athletes participating.  Olympian Barbara Kunkel from Colorado Springs was also on the AAU National Coaching staff and helped the athletes tremendously.  As you all know Master A is the current AAU Region 10 Director as well as the COSTA/USAT State President.  What this all means is that A-Team Taekwondo is seriously involved at the highest level of competition in the sport and associated with the best minds as well.  Master A himself is still competing and a lot of his success is due to Coach Martinez Senior (He breaks me down training) and his wife Dena (she pays for my mid life crisis).   Master A's competitive career was quite accomplished in the 1990's and now we kindly termed it Resuscitating the TKD Dinosaur!  Hopefully we will get to see Master A compete at the Rocky Mountain Open in the fall of 2010!
