Today we had our first grading in nearly 18 months with 3 small group grading sessions wearing face masks to comply with C-19 guidance. We had 16 of our Warwick & Leamington TKD students grade under the T-UK Association President Master John Archer and Myself in intense 60 minute sessions that were non-stop and each student under the spotlight with nowhere to hide.
Even though the students have not been able to grade for 18 months this has not stopped their learning and development through lockdown with a student training video library to assist them, a period of time face to face between lockdowns and then Zoom classes during lockdown 2. Once we were able to train outside their face to face training and development took off in earnest as well as 121 personal training to get them to the required standard for this grading.
