🌍🥇 We went to the World Championships – and what a team we brought!

This month, five of our members travelled to Schaumburg, near Chicago, to compete at the WTSDA World Tang Soo Do Championships — facing around 1,800 competitors from 17 countries. We are absolutely bursting with pride at what they achieved.

Every single one of them came home with a medal. 🏅

Here's how they did:

🏆 Susie had a stunning competition — gold in weapons, gold in sparring, silver in hyungs, and was crowned Senior Female Gup Champion for the entire championship. An incredible achievement.

🥇 Nathan went three for three — gold in weapons, gold in hyungs, gold in sparring — and came within a whisker of taking the Junior Gup Champion title, just missing out on ranking. What a performance.

🥋 Will flew the flag for our black belts, taking gold in weapons, silver in hyungs and bronze in sparring.

🏅 Philippa had a brilliant day, claiming gold in both weapons and hyungs.

🏅 Rich rounded off a fantastic team effort with bronzes in both weapons and hyungs.

Between them: 8 golds, 2 silvers and 3 bronzes. Not bad for a small community club from the Ely area! 😄

And they were in great company — the wider GB team put in an outstanding performance, with almost every competitor coming home with a medal. 🇬🇧

A huge well done to Will, Philippa, Susie, Nathan and Rich — and thank you to Master Gaynor Russell and Master Robert Russell for coaching and supporting the team out in Chicago. 🙏

☀️ June update:
It's been a scorching — and very busy — month for our club! Read on for all the latest, and a warm welcome to anyone thinking about giving Tang Soo Do a try.

🔥 Training through the heatwave:
This week's heat hasn't stopped us — but it has meant ditching the full Doboks in favour of something a little lighter! Training carried on with plenty of sweaty enthusiasm, and we had one very dedicated Tiny Tiger showing up in their Tang Soo Do T-shirt ready to train. ❤️

🌍 World Championships prep:
With the WTSDA World Championships in Schaumburg, Chicago just weeks away, our team have been pushing hard. This Saturday, Will, Philippa, Susie, Nathan and Rich joined the rest of the GB squad for a joint training session — great preparation and a real boost ahead of the big event. We'll be cheering them on! 🇬🇧

🇺🇸 WTSDA US Master Clinic:
Senior instructors Master Gaynor Russell and Master Robert Russell also recently returned from the USA, where they joined KCN Khan and fellow senior masters from around the world at the WTSDA US Master Clinic, spending a full week training at the highest level. It's brilliant to have that experience and knowledge feeding straight back into our club sessions.

🎽 Gup Grading:
A number of our coloured belt students took part in their grading in St Ives, demonstrating their techniques and knowledge to earn their next belt. A big well done to everyone who graded — and as always, thank you to our Dan grades who gave up their time to help organise and run the day.

🥋 Monthly Cho Dan & Cho Dan Bo session:
Rounding off the month, our Dan grades join KCN Khan and fellow masters today for their monthly Cho Dan and Cho Dan Bo training session — a regular fixture that keeps our senior students sharp and connected to the wider WTSDA family.

🥋 Thinking of joining us?
Whether you're looking for a new way to keep fit, want to build confidence, or just fancy trying something a bit different this summer — Tang Soo Do could be for you. We're a friendly, family club welcoming members of all ages and abilities from 7 upwards, and your first lesson is completely free.

We train three times a week across Ely and Wilburton:
Monday – Wilburton St Peter's Village Hall, 6:30–8:00pm
Tuesday – Paradise Centre, Ely, 6:00–7:00pm
Thursday – The Hive, Ely, 6:30–8:00pm

Come and give it a go — you've got nothing to lose and a new skill (and a great community) to gain!
