Last Sunday saw 8 of Chesham and Great Missenden’s finest travel over to Cheltenham for the GTI National Open competing for the chance to become their national champion.

Mr Gilling II, Daniel, Iggy, Antonia and Diana (Chesham) were joined by Miss Hamilton I, Miss Rees I and Hattie (Great Missenden). Each competed in both divisions for patterns and sparring. The 8 demonstrated some excellent techniques, precision and ability as well as showing a considerable amount of heart to enter, compete and persevere. Well done to all of you for entering.

Starting with the colour belts, we saw Diana enter her first tournament coming out with a smile and the Bronze medal! A real achievement to compete at this standard. The other colour belts performed to their best however were knocked off the podium with a number of them just missing out in 4th place.

Colour belt sparring came next and this is where we saw the real determination of our students. Diana, following in her big sister’s footsteps become our first National Champion of the day winning the gold. Antonia went next fighting in some very hard fights but got back up repeatedly earning her the Bronze. Hattie fought hard earning her the Silver. Iggy and Daniel followed both earning the Bronze medals in their respective categories.

The black belts came next. Miss Rees completed an admirable Ge-Baek however missed out on a medal but came back in sparring earning her Bronze medal. Miss Hamilton competed next as our first adult of the day completing pattern after pattern in a series of playoffs earning her silver medal. The day finished with Mr Gilling at his first competition back from injury and a return it was. Mr Gilling became our second National Champion of the day earning his Gold in patterns. He finished the day taking second place in the final, leaving with the Silver medal.

Well done to all our competitors, we’re proud of you for putting yourselves to the test and we hope you appreciate your achievements!

MWTA British Championships

After two weekends of taekwondo black belt grading, Imogen hadn’t had enough. Today, Imogen (competing as a black tag) and Paula (black tag) joined by coaches, Mr Pascal II and Mr Gilling II, made the drive down to Herne Bay for Master Wolf’s Taekwondo Academy British Championships.

Imogen started off with patterns smashing through round after round winning the Gold medal. Following suit, Paula performed excellent patterns earning herself the silver.

Imogen entered herself into the sparring fighting strong winning the semi final. In the final, Imogen fought well facing a strong fighter practicing for the World Cup in September. Imogen was awarded the Silver.

Followed by some fish and chips by the sea before heading home, a highly successful day for the mother-daughter duo. Well done to you both! Firstly for putting yourselves to the test and secondly for rising to the challenge.

It is with great pleasure and pride to announce the results from the recent BUTF black belt grading. In total we had 6 candidates all of whom were successful. From a total field of 30 there were 5 failures which goes to prove that a great deal of preparation and dedication is needed and the belt is earned through much hard work.

All of our candidates put in that extra bit, attending most lessons leading up to the grading. In the terminology test all of our students scored high; in the 80 or 90%. And all our new black belts are juniors so many thanks to the parents who have supported throughout and I'm sure you must be immensely proud.

From the results you will see out of the 4 merit passes we had 2. Both Imogen and Maria had the top 2 scores respectively and Zakariya had 4th equal score.

We also have the honour of gaining another 4th dan in the form of Mr Hanchant. He has now earned his stripes which is often the biggest goal of most black belts.

All in all fantastic results which they all deserved, so many congratulations. Now you have reached your first goal of black belt there is plenty more to learn and you should fix your sights on your next goals. Even looking ahead to maybe one day becoming an instructor with your own club.

From my own experience ( and I'm sure from my other high grades ) I have benefitted so much from Taekwondo. To me and many high ranking friends in the art it has become a way of life. A lot of pleasure not only from training but passing the knowledge onto others and watching them progress.

So our clubs have now swelled in the black belt ranks with several of you are not far off. Early preparation is key.

Again, massive congratulations to our newly promoted black belts from all of your fellow students:

Mr Hanchant 4th Dan
Miss Rees 1st Dan
Miss Grozea 1st Dan
Mr Sajid 1st Dan
Mr Kamath 1st Dan
Miss Qasam 1st Dan

Two weeks of tournaments (Part 2)

The second tournament saw 3 competitors from both Chesham and GM TKD entered the LTSI South East Open:
Antonia (Green belt)
Paula (Red belt)
Imogen (Black Tag)

I’ll start by saying this was an excellent day for our female fighters. They should all be exceptionally proud of themselves they are excellent role models for women in our local community.

Antonia started the day with her pattern, proceeding to the bronze playoff where she won her first medal. Imogen went next progressing into a gold playoff taking home the Silver medal. Paula finished off the patterns also taking home the Silver.

Moving onto sparring, Antonia started us off by smashing through multiple fights earning the Gold medal. Imogen was informed she was the only person in her category and could take the gold and go home. Instead she entered into an exhibition fight with a black belt - an impressive feat for one of our best colour belts. Imogen fought hard, winning the fight despite the difference in belt.

An excellent return after months of hard work in training. A very well done to all three of the them.

Well done!

Two weeks of Tournaments (Part 1)

Over the last two weeks students from both Chesham and Great Missenden TKD have entered two tournaments - the GTI English Open and the LTSI South East Open.

First the GTI. A national level competition held in Hinckley on 15th Feb, we had 6 students enter:
Grayson (Yellow belt),
Alice (Green tag),
Antonia (Green belt),
Miss Hamilton I,
Mr Archbald I,
Mr Gilling II

All performed excellently with Grayson and Antonia up first in their respective junior categories. Following this Alice took her turn showing off her hard-work in training. Then the black belts, Mr Archbald started off the medals with a bronze in the cadets division. Shortly after Miss Hamilton followed suit with the bronze in adult females. Finally, Mr Gilling won the Silver for his pattern.

Moving onto sparring, Grayson, Antonia and Alice all fought hard in their categories but missed out on the medals. Mr Archbald set the standard with another Bronze medal. Once again, Miss Hamilton followed winning a Bronze in her division after two very tough fights. Mr Gilling finished off the sparring for day in the adult heavyweight black belt division. After winning his way into the final (2x 2 minute rounds), he was 30 seconds from finishing off when he suffered a severe knee injury ending the fight. As this was the final, Mr Gilling took his second Silver of the day. The remaining black belts entered the destruction but neither won.
