It's been a really busy weekend for the Cinderford Tae Kwon-Do family!
Cinderford TKD moved to our new home at The Miners Welfare Hall in Cinderford in May 2021 and set to making it our own from the outset
During our first year, we managed to purchase foam jigsaw mats for safe training.
Over the last 5 years the mats have seen plenty of TKD action, and at Christmas we raised just over £300 towards replacing them.
On Saturday, in true TKD fashion, we raised more money the only way we know how, by holding an amazing Kickathon!
In the weeks running up to the Kickathon, though, a gorgeous Ninja Build-a-Bear joined us, and asked the students to guess its name!🧸🥋
And once everyone had completed their 1000 kicks (most exceeded this target!), there was a competition to find Cinderford TKD's Speed Kicking Superstar!
And to finish the fabulous Fundraising Day, we had a crazy game of Noughts and Crosses!
Our Speed Kicking Superstar was Mirren executing 138 kicks in a minute, with Amna and Kate in 2nd and 3rd place (it was very close!), and Noah took 'Cookie' the Ninja Build-a-Bear home!
And all participants took home a shiny medal in club colours!🏅
Thank you and congratulations to everyone involved - Cinderford Tae Kwon-Do, putting the Fun back into Fundraising...

And yesterday, bringing home the bling, our very own Ashton competed in the Junior GTI Open Championships in Cheltenham, where he won a Bronze medal in Sparring, and just missed out on a Bronze in Patterns!
Congratulations Ashton!

WHAT’S YOUR ‘WHY’?

We recently asked the students at Cinderford Tae Kwon-Do, “What’s Your ‘Why’?”
Why did you start Tae Kwon-Do?
It may have been a New Years’ Resolution, a conscious decision to get fit, a need to socialise, a medical referral, anything.

What do you get out of training?

How is Tae Kwon-Do helping you?

What's your ultimate goal?

Fancy trying something new? What will be your ‘Why’?

This week's 'What's Your Why?' is from a young lady who joined us just a year ago from The Philippines...

At first, I was really shy! But then, days later, I became close to almost everyone! they all are very friendly! I never thought I'd be this confident! Thanks to everyone! I became confident and more stronger! Though, I can't really do sparring! I did do taekwondo back then at the Philippines! But we have these called Kyorugi - for peoples who do sparrings!
Poomsae - for people who only do performings!
Well I only do performings at Philippines so I'm not used to sparrings!

I'll tell you! I learned much more in Cinderford Tae Kwon-Do! They taught me more techniques! I became stronger!

They sometimes make trainings more fun! It's like playing a game! But with more power or energy and confidence!

Don't be vulnerable!

I learned, self confidence and self defense!

Mr and Mrs P, made everyone feel welcome!

Everyone is very friendly! Especially the older ones!

No need to be scared when making a mistake! They help you understand what to do!

Fear isn't the answer! Confidence is!

Thanks to great coaches! Mr & Mrs P!
