Following a call of applications by the Malta Taekwondo Federation for the two open positions of National Team Coaches, we are proud to announce that Dragon Academy Malta coach Mauro Busuttil was chosen to be part of this two-men team, along with former DAM student and athlete Gianluca Barbara.
Mauro joined Dragon Academy and started his Taekwondo training back in 2007, and has since grown into a mature, experienced and respectable sparring athlete with a constant thirst for the latest knowledge in both training and tactical techniques. He has spent these past few years training and competing abroad almost monthly, gaining valuable experience from several respectable coaches, athletes and teams. As an athlete, he represented Malta twice in the most prestigious Taekwondo competition on the calendar: the World Championships of 2015 and 2017. He has also attended several training camps, one of them being held by two Olympic Gold Medalists Carlo Molfetta and Steven Lopez.
We wish the newly formed National Team, the two Coaches and the EC all the best and may all efforts through collaboration translate into success for Taekwondo in Malta.
