We would like to congratulate one of our students in becoming our 10th black belt to the club, after her successful grading last Saturday.
Despite suffering with a reoccurring injury for a few years, sheβs overcome this challenging obstacle, to persist with preparing, and taking the test.
Not only did she gain her black belt but she also achieved the highest mark for her thesis.
Many congratulations

(Petition sign request post)
Kids whoβve dedicated and continue to dedicate so much of their time training in Taekwon-Do and other martial arts should be able to choose this as an activity in their PE (GCSE or A-Level) course at school. They used to be able to but it was removed. This puts them at a huge disadvantage to others despite in some cases already being accomplished athletes..
It was a pain for me when I was younger at that stage, and itβs a pain now trying to guide them through it.
A bunch of instructors are supporting a petition so please could those reading this give it a quick sign? (Requires an email confirmation step)

Feel free to share if itβs also something you care about π
Thanks! π€
Petition: Reinstate Martial Arts as one of the approved activities for GCSE PE
Martial Arts is a popular sport for children. Yet dedicated, passionate, talented students can no longer use them for GCSE. I think Martial Arts are wholly inclusive, appeal to all genders, all ethnic backgrounds and children with SEN. They can help promote fitness, self-discipline and respect.

Happy 8th Birthday to us!!
Itβs not the birthday we would have hoped for but we wanted to mark the occasion, as itβs an important milestone for the club.
Over the last 12 months the club hasnβt seen much action, however we are looking forward to opening our doors again soon for both students old and new.
Here are some pictures of our journeys so far.
