Kicking Down Barriers: Young Local Athlete Appointed to GB Taekwondo World Class Programme

Last month, ahead of International Women’s day, we met with Courtney Kramoh, who had only recently accepted a position on the GB Taekwondo World Class Performance Programme.
Courtney is the first truly local recruit from the surrounding area onto the programme, hailing from East Manchester and no doubt will be forging the path for many others to follow! We’re pleased that the access to programme and facilities in Manchester has allowed Courtney to realise her potential.
She has already made impressive TKD progress within her local club TKD Machine, who train out of the National Taekwondo Centre in Newton Heath, and within GB Taekwondo’s 13-18 Development programme and will now focus on female -67kgs as her Olympic weight category.
We were thrilled to spend time with this very passionate young woman and join in with welcoming her to World Class Performance Programme.
Best of luck from all at Manchester Active for what we’re sure will be a long and successful career.
