Young Adults Achieve BLACK BELT october

This group of young Black Tags have trained in Taekwon-Do for between 6 and 7 years. On October 9th all that training was condensed into a 4 hour Black Belt grading.

Every technique, every kick, every pattern, from when they were white belt upwards, sparring, 2 onto 1 sparring, destruction, set sparring, examiners choice techniques, self defence, leadership skills and theory, nothing was left out, testing their endurance, indomitable spirit and perseverance. Delighted to announce that they all passed the exam.

On the 16th of October, in front of a large audience made up of their team mates and lots of parents, we celebrated together and presented them with their new belts, certificates and new doboks. It was an emotional evening, a big celebration of a great achievement. We also managed to embarrass them a little by collecting a series of photo's from when they joined and much younger and put together a powerpoint presentation for everyone to enjoy, a wonderful trip down memory lane. Well done to you all, we are very proud.
