Integrity means doing the right thing, even when nobody is watching. It is about being honest, taking responsibility for our actions and trying to make good choices. ⭐

In Taekwondo, integrity might mean admitting when we have made a mistake, training properly even when the instructor is not looking, and treating other students fairly and honestly. 🐯

It is one of those qualities that matters just as much outside the dojang as it does inside it.

👉 What does integrity mean to you?

Courtesy is much more than simply saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’. It is about showing respect in the way we speak, behave and train with other people. 🤝

In Taekwondo we practise courtesy every time we bow, listen to an instructor, encourage another student or help somebody who is finding something difficult.

And, of course, it doesn’t stop when we leave the dojang. 🐯💛

👉 How do you think we can show courtesy in everyday life?

🎉🥋 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗬 𝟴𝗧𝗛 𝗕𝗜𝗥𝗧𝗛𝗗𝗔𝗬, 𝗥𝗔𝗙𝗔𝗜𝗟! 🥋🎉

A very happy 8th birthday to Rafail from our Daventry Tigers! 🐯🎂

Rafail is incredibly keen, comes along to loads of classes and, although there may occasionally be a little bit of fun involved 😇, he works really hard and is doing brilliantly.

Here he is in action at his last grading, showing some of that hard work. 🥋💪

Rafail trains alongside his brother, which has one slight drawback: Mrs Robson has spent an alarming amount of time calling each of them by the other one’s name. 😂 Fortunately, they both seem to answer to either, so we’ve decided this is a perfectly workable system!

Have a brilliant birthday, Rafail. We hope you have a fantastic day! 🎈🎁🎉

Taekwondo is about much more than kicks, punches and patterns.

At the heart of our training are the five tenets:

⭐ Courtesy
⭐ Integrity
⭐ Perseverance
⭐ Self-control
⭐ Indomitable spirit

They’re qualities we try to develop not just in class, but outside the dojang too.

Learning the techniques is important. Learning how to keep going when something is difficult, show respect to others, control your reactions and do the right thing is just as valuable.

That’s one of the reasons Taekwondo can have such a positive impact far beyond the training hall. 🐯🥋

It isn’t an hour of standing in lines throwing punches!

A typical class might include a mixture of:

🥋 Patterns and technical work
👊 Pad work and kicking
💪 Fitness and conditioning
🛡️ Sparring or partner work
🧠 Theory and terminology
😂 And usually at least a little bit of controlled chaos

Different classes concentrate on different things, but the aim is always the same: learn something, improve something and enjoy doing it.
