Last Sunday marked another milestone for our club as we attended a successful coloured belt grading at North Leamington School in the T-UK Central area. We want to extend our congratulations to all 26 members who participated in this event.
At Warwick & Leamington TKD, we pride ourselves on our progressive and effective improvement program designed to prepare every student for grading. This structured approach ensures that each member receives the guidance and training they need to excel. Our assessment process adheres to strict standards, allowing us to select students who are truly ready for promotion. This rigorous preparation is key to building confidence and skill in our members.
Yesterday, our dedicated team of competitors from Warwick & Leamington TKD set off bright and early for the Open Welsh Championships in Cardiff. With an 8:30 am registration, the day promised to be long and challenging, lasting until 7:30 pm. However, the excitement and anticipation kept our spirits high throughout the day.
The event was excellently well organised by Master Neil Ernest and his team, ensuring a smooth experience for all competitors. The standards at the competition were impressively high, showcasing the exceptional talent within the Taekwon-Do martial arts community.
Well done to all our members who attended the England ITF Grandmaster seminar hosted by the T-UK in Stratford Upon Avon, great support and enthusiasm from the club as always.
The seminar was led by Grandmasters Ellis and Nardizzi. The seminar was broken down in to two halves coloured belts followed by a black belt only seminar. Each seminar consisted of a technical deep dive into all aspects of TKD.
We entered 38 members into the recent Summer T-UK coloured belt grading. Everyone who was entered worked hard to attained the high standards required to be considered for promotion. As always the day was split into peewee and junior grading and adult grading.
This weekend our Instructors, blackbelts and senior coloured belts attended a seminar with Grand Master Boss 9th Degree and his son World Champion Timothy Boss.
An excellent seminar which covered technical improvement and delivery led by the Grand master and also sparring drills and strategy from Timothy.
A thoroughly enjoyable day of TKD. Warwick & Leamington TKD investing in our development and furthering our abilities to make the club the best it can be for our members.
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.
