Did i spot Tony Sewell in this (and number 2) compilation? Loving watching this - bringing back some brilliant memories. TKD was quite bruising (Can't say I'm a fan of WTF 😂) I still train. Thanks for posting this!!!

Former student of Kim Stones here. Very proud of the heritage of my former Master.

Same here. I trained under Kim between 86 and 89 when at Leeds uni. Some great memories. I am in the crowd in this video. Shouted myself hoarse supporting Kim.

I was training in TKD at this time. When I went to see this championship I was a red belt. TKD began to get exciting when the TAGB got involved with Hee Il Cho. Went to a few of his seminars and trained regularly with Ray Dennis in his bruising Saturday fighting sessions. My Instructor was Buphinder Sahota in Bedford - we all came out of the UKTA (with Gary Carmalt). TKD got too political though and I became cynical about the infighting. It was at this point that the TAGB were looking to begin doing more full contact, but it didn't really happen and I gravitated over to kickboxing (where Gary Carmalt was now running a gym) and Muay Thai - but as a grounding in martial arts for kicks, flexibility and movements, TKD is worth doing, but perhaps it's still as introverted as it's always been? I don't know, stopped doing it in the early 90s.Occasionally I drop into KZbin to see if there's been any major developments - and in some cases (Van Roon In New Zealand) there has - but in most, they're still bickering over sine wave and hip twist

I studied TKD TAGB some years ago when I was about 15 and Mark came to train at our class. I was a yellow belt at the time and he came in in just joggers, and wrongly assumed he was just some 'Newbie' and started asking questions and puffing my chest out a bit. Then he goes to get changed and comes back in donning a black dobok with gold trim and a globe on the back with 'Mark Ogbourne World champion around it. Seriously my balls shrank and ran for my arsehole. Absolute gent and hes a big dude too so christ knows what I was thinking.
