Training Times Mondays & Fridays 7-8pm

age 7 years and over Welcome to the Cullompton Tae Kwon-do FB page. My name is Shane Knight and I am the senior instructor at the club. Cullompton Tae Kwon-do was first started in 1987 by Mr Paul Smith (3rd dan), I joined the club in 1997 and Mr Daren Sainsbury (5th dan) took over in 1998. Under his guidance I passed my 1st dan grading in 2001 and took over as the instructor of the club. I was first introduced to Tae kwon-do in the late 80's but it wasn't until 1997 when I moved to Cullompton and joined the Cullompton club that I took it more seriously. It took 4 years to get my 1st dan and I had some good achievements while going up through the gradings, including attending many competitions and winning some medals, but more often coming away with the knowledge that there is more to learn! I achieved my 2nd dan in 2004 and my 3rd dan in 2011, I then went on to making the grade of 4th degree black belt (recognised International Instructor) in 2015. I have taught many students over the past 15+ years and I would rank many of my achievements down to them; watching them pass gradings, getting grading awards and going up through the ranks themselves. I have felt very privileged to be able to coach on the side lines of competitions and watch my students go on to win medals and to know there is also still more for them to learn! But I would say the thing I am most proud of is how friendly and helpful all the students at the Cullompton club have been over the years who have come to learn Tae Kwon-do with us.

πŸ₯‹ A Proud Moment – 6th Dan Black Belt πŸ₯‹

A couple of weeks ago, I found out that I was being promoted to 6th Dan Black Belt, something I’m incredibly proud of and very grateful for.

Tae Kwon-Do has been such a huge part of my life for so many years, and I certainly wouldn’t be where I am today without the incredible people who have been part of that journey.

Firstly, I want to say a massive thank you to all my students, past and present. You really do make my Tae Kwon-Do journey what it is. I’m incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to share my knowledge and love of Tae Kwon-Do with you. Watching you develop, grow in confidence and achieve your goals is what makes teaching so rewarding. ❀️

A heartfelt thank you to Grand Master Dew, Mrs Dew and the entire Dew family for their continued support, encouragement and guidance over the years. I’m truly grateful for everything you have done for me.

I’d also like to thank my senior instructors, who have generously shared their knowledge, experience and advice, not only helping me develop as a martial artist but also guiding me in running a successful Tae Kwon-Do club. Your support and friendship have meant a great deal to me.

And finally, a very special thank you to Manda and Max. ❀️

You two have sacrificed so much over the years to allow me to continue doing something I love.

The countless hours sitting in sports halls waiting for me while I’m chatting about Tae Kwon-Do, the early mornings, late dinners, travelling all over the country, and patiently waiting while I’m off doing yet more Tae Kwon-Do stuff!

Not to mention losing both the playroom and dining room when they became a Tae Kwon-Do training room during Covid!

Through all of it, you’ve never complained or moaned, and you’ve always supported me. I probably don’t say it enough, but I genuinely couldn’t do what I do without you both.

Thank you for your patience, understanding and love. ❀️

After all these years, I still love Tae Kwon-Do as much as ever. I’m still learning, still enjoying the journey and still looking forward to what comes next.

A 6th Dan is a wonderful achievement, but the people I’ve met, the friendships I’ve made and the students I’ve had the privilege of teaching are what make the journey truly special.

Thank you all for being part of it. ❀️πŸ₯‹

Cullompton Tae Kwon-Do is incredibly proud to announce that Ella has achieved the rank of 1st Dan Black Belt following her grading this weekend.

Ella has been a dedicated member of the club for many years and has consistently shown outstanding commitment and indomitable spirit β€” especially during the COVID lockdown, where she attended every single Zoom training session without fail.

This achievement is thoroughly deserved, and we couldn’t be prouder. Thank you, Ella, for being such an amazing student and a true credit to the club. πŸ‘ŠπŸ₯‹
