Severn Beach Dragon Tang Soo Do

Focus of eyes.

No matter what you're doing, focus those eyes.

Both literally and metaphorically.

Literally - look where you're going, see the target, look where you need to go. Look up, and ahead, not down.

Metaphorically - look at the next grade, imagine yourself there. Look ahead further to where you want to be. Don't give up on your goals, whatever your aims or desires.

Tang Soo Do is a self defence focused martial art.

Whilst we also encourage and support fitness, patterns, sparring, and testing your mind with drilling (different techniques in different orders) - our focus is self defence.

Escaping locks, grabs, chokes.

So if this is something you're after learning - look no further.

We have an amazing bunch of senior grades who love teaching new people - and we don't have a maximum age. Join with your children, or on your own!

See you there?

Need something to put a spring in your step?

Severn Beach DTSD definitely has a few springs.

Must be something about brown belts.

Here we go, grading day! 💪

Top job last night everyone.

Special welcome to SBN Steve Hoydan who helped out last night - great to see you.

Huge well done to EVERYONE for the hard work and effort you put in.

Thanks to Lucy, Kerri and Isla for teaching last night, at only orange belt they helped coach white belts. Isla is only 7, and last night took on the role of teaching. Incredible.

Everyone else who helped teach, coach and guide - you're awesome. Everyone is awesome. ♥️

Exciting evening tonight -

Black Belt Presentations! 🥋🤟

Well deserved & absolutely earned. Very excited to see our new Dan Grades. 💪

We've been posting some serious things lately. About how important martial arts is, and how incredible our students are.

That stands, by the way. They are. Top banana.

But also, we're a bunch of crazy people who genuinely love what we do. We love being part of DTSD, part of the Beach, and being a team. We support each other, cheer each other on, and above all, we are united in the fact we genuinely just care about each other.

We love our club. We just do.

Aren't they fabulous?

Did someone say, winners?

Look at that. A sea of winners. Absolutely OUTSTANDING.

Well done to EVERYONE.

You made yourself proud. Your family proud. And ABSOLUTELY your instructor proud.

This club, and this association - Dragon Tang Soo Do - is more than just a martial arts club. It's a family, it's a way of life, it's a team of people who support you and cheer you on.

We are so proud. Well done Beacher crew - top stuff. 💪🏆

Results are in. Yes, I'm emotional. Very very proud of the team who went to Bournemouth at the weekend. What a crew. What a performance. Proud of each and every one of you.

Special shout to our Sam who won Grand Champ, and her other half Aaron who was also tied for Grand Champ - missing out due to tied on points.

If this is anything to go by, every year will be better and better.

We are SO PROUD. Well done everyone. ❤️
