So proud of my latest batch of Black Belts and Dan grades following the bi annual grading last weekend. They have all worked so hard to get here, I'm thrilled with their progress. Well done to you all!

Just had a student pipped at the post for gold after two play-offs - losing to another one of our students! Gold and Silver for us in boys' blue division - an absolutely massive division, so a particularly great achievement for both!

I'm off to the 2025 World Taekwondo Championships today. Whilst we aren't fielding many competitors this time as it's so expensive now, be prepared for lots of Taekwondo spam. 🥋

I'm quite proud of the fact I've been able to program my Taekwondo Club's website to show the flying shark we'll be having at our party tomorrow - actually flying on the website.
Not just a pretty face.

The older ones have been missing the younger ones - plus the grown ups missed us too, so this year we're all together. All 6 courts...

At this point, I think there's merit in the proposition we should get a medal for just reaching the Arena!!!
It's the final Taekwondo competition of the year this weekend - the TAGB British Championships!
Let's see if our small team can bring home some final 2024 medals in this the biggest national competition of the year!
Good luck to @daventrytigers.co.uk !
