To my Edge Taekwondo students, I want you to pay close attention to these videos from yesterday’s Sunsoo ITF Black Belt Grading.

No, we don’t perform pre-arranged sparring exactly like this in WT Taekwondo. However, the principles are exactly the same as what I’m looking for in your one-step sparring and random holds self-defence.

Notice:
✔️ Realistic distance
✔️ Strong stances and balance
✔️ Commitment to every technique
✔️ Controlled but believable attacks
✔️ Smooth combinations that flow naturally

One of the most common mistakes I see at gradings is students standing too far apart and performing techniques that wouldn’t realistically reach the target. These examples show how much more effective a routine looks when the distance, timing and ex*****on are realistic.

There’s always something we can learn from other styles. Watch closely and see what ideas you can bring back into your own training.

A huge congratulations to Ashlee on achieving her 4th Dan Black Belt and Josh on achieving his 3rd Dan Black Belt. Both demonstrated an exceptional standard throughout the grading and should be very proud of their achievements. The years of dedication, perseverance and hard work required to reach these levels should never be underestimated.

🥋 Always a student. Always learning. Always improving.

Some very realistic self defence. Some ideas for those that need to do one step. These two graded for their 3rd and 4th dan today.

📣 EDGE TAEKWONDO – CHARTERS TOWERS GRADING 🥋💛💙❤️🖤

What an awesome way to kick off our first grading of the year!

Tonight I had the privilege of travelling out to Charters Towers and watching our students step onto the mats to challenge themselves, push through nerves and show just how much they’ve grown.

A massive congratulations to:

🟡 Little Mac – promoted to Yellow Belt
🟡 Dan – successfully double graded to yellow two
🔵Georgia, Memphis & Ryan – promoted to Blue Belt
🔴 Big Mac – promoted to Red Belt 3 Stripe

A very special moment of the night was presenting Josie with her official Kukkiwon Black Belt Certificate following her successful grading in December last year. Receiving a Kukkiwon certificate is a significant milestone and represents countless hours of dedication, perseverance and hard work. We’re incredibly proud of everything she has achieved.

Of course, grading night wouldn’t be grading night without a few forgotten patterns, a few nervous moments and even a couple of tears. But that’s exactly what makes these nights so rewarding.

Taekwondo isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about finding the courage to step onto the mats, giving your best effort and refusing to give up when things get tough.

Every student who graded tonight walked away stronger, more confident and one step closer to becoming the best version of themselves.

Keep training. Keep learning. Keep believing in yourself.

Success isn’t measured by the colour of the belt around your waist, but by the determination and resilience in your heart.

Congratulations everyone – your EDGE family is incredibly proud of you! 🥋❤️💙
