<title>Firewalk 18th November 2010 - Walsall Hospice </title>
<description>Blaze Fire walking Ltd Registered in England. Registered No. 6460642

Who are we and what do we do?

Blaze is aimed at initiating innovative mind expanding experiences for individuals and groups, as well as bringing teams together, enhancing communication, raising huge amounts of money for charities and at the same time having a great time! One of the major events that we have introduced to the UK over the last 25 years and utilized to great effect with many major charities is the Blaze Firewalk Challenge. This is an inspirational and barrier-breaking experience for all concerned! In simple terms, sponsored individuals, after a motivational training session, walk across 20 feet of wood embers burning at 1236 degrees Fahrenheit without experiencing any pain or injury! Something that not every organisation would immediately link with fundraising but it has proven itself extremely successful.</description>

<title>9th Open World Championships 11th-12th September 2010 Results</title>
<description>
 With competitors, coaches and officials arriving from across the world, the Ninth Open World Championships proved to be a memorable weekend on the tae kwon do calendar. Whether competing in a sparring, destruction or a pattern event, the enthusiasm and effort on the day was evident in all of the West Midlands competitors. 

The optimistic atmosphere within the Telford International Arena was infectious, and with the support from spectators, it seemed that many competitors began to experience what is known as the pop bottle sensation, (the pop bottle sensation is experienced when competitors step onto the square to face their opponent, nerves and adrenalin then fizz up like the liquid inside, until the cap flies off the bottle and the drink explodes everywhere).
This sensation was what I felt on the day (and I wasn't even competing!), along with Miss Katie Billingham, Miss Emily Haslam, Miss Lisa Brown and Mr Farquharson I was officiating. I have taken my umpires course and had umpired at the previous world championships, but each tournament is challenging when you step into the arena. On the square you are the organiser, timekeeper, judge, point giver and ultimately responsible in giving a fair result. This was a huge responsibility, but to umpire at this event was also an honour. The tournament was organised effectively with all twenty eight areas running like clockwork, all officials put a lot of time and effort into the event to ensure the World Championships was a truly memorable occasion.

<title>Results From The Welsh Championships 23rd May 2010</title>
<description>The Welsh Tournament Sunday 23rd May 2010
West Midlands tae kwon do students triumphed once again at the weekend, taking home a combined total of four medals; proving that months of preparation in sparring with coaching from higher grades has paid off!

In the Mens Executive Green Belt Middle Weight Sparring Division, Craig Mason, a student at the Bloxwich club fought well beating off all the competition in this hotly contested category to win a bronze medal.

There was also success for Mr Farquharson’s Dudley club when two of our regular tournament competitors both took home medals in their respective categories. Miss Chelsey James attended the Welsh tournament and took home Gold in the Red Belt Girls Pee Wee division. This achievement will no doubt sit among her many other medals in the display cabinet! Chelsey’s success at the tender age of only eight goes to prove that whatever age you are competitions are for everyone to participate in!</description>
