Congratulations to the promoted students of Warwick & Leamington TKD

We would like to congratulate the 37 students of Warwick & Leamington TKD who recently participated in the T-UK regional grading under the guidance of Master Archer from Taekwon do-UK. Your dedication, perseverance, and commitment to the art of Taekwondo and to the club are excellent, and we are immensely proud of your achievement.

First and foremost, we would like to commend the three students who achieved an outstanding A pass in their grading, Elsa Clegg, Charlotte Jackson and Alison Miller. This remarkable accomplishment is a testament to their unwavering focus, discipline, and hard work to achieve excellence at their grade.

Spring Central Coloured Belt Grading

Spring Central Coloured Belt Grading

Yesterday saw the first Central region coloured belt grading for 2017.  We had a number of students in the grading all nervous and aprehensive at the start, all good emotions as it shows you care and drives your performance.

Well done all of you, as Mr Archer chief examiner said, the standards were excellent; as I said last week, go and make yourself, the instructors and the club proud, and you all did this, fabulous.

Results and belts will be given at class this week as well as teaching all successful students their new patterns.
