SUCCESS AT THE SEPTEMBER T-UK COLOURED BELT GRADING

Sunday saw members of Warwick & Leamington TKD take part in the T-UK Central Area coloured belt block grading, conducted by T-UK President Master John Archer.

The September grading is traditionally one of our smaller gradings. Following the summer break, we only put students forward who have maintained their training, demonstrated the required technical standard and successfully completed our own club pre-test.

A belt promotion should be earned, not simply expected because enough time has passed.

This time, 14 of our members were selected to grade, and we are extremely pleased with their performances and the standard they demonstrated on the day.

Celebrating Our Success at the Taekwon-Do UK British Championships

What an incredible weekend we had at the Taekwon-Do UK British Championships in Coventry. I am thrilled to share that our club achieved remarkable success, finishing as the second overall club in the entire competition. This is a tremendous accomplishment that reflects the hard work and dedication of our members.

We brought home an impressive 15 gold, 24 silver, and 7 bronze medals. Each medal represents not just talent, but countless hours of training, perseverance, and commitment to excellence. A special shoutout goes to Serena Todd, who ranked in the top 10 individuals and secured 2 gold medals, an outstanding achievement.
