Plenty of action to finish term 3. In recent weeks we have focused on Sport Taekwondo. This has been the first time for some of the students to use guards and test their skills in drills and contests with modified rules.
There is great interest to continue the development and many look forward to state wide training opportunities in the future.
Happy holidays to all those lucky enough to have them.
Term 4 starts on Monday the 17th of October.

Howrah Taekwondo Winter grading action completed term 2 for the year.

Term 1 started slowly with students and families being affected by covid and isolation requirements. Despite that, most people are back and hopefully will have a more consistent training program in term 2. Term 1 ended with Easter egg kicking challenges. Excellent accuracy was shown by all the participants.
Happy and safe Easter to all the members and families. We start back on Monday the 2nd of May.
