C-19 Coloured Belt Grading Success

Comment

C-19 Coloured Belt Grading Success

Today we had our first grading in nearly 18 months with 3 small group grading sessions wearing face masks to comply with C-19 guidance. We had 16 of our Warwick & Leamington TKD students grade under the T-UK Association President Master John Archer and Myself in intense 60 minute sessions that were non-stop and each student under the spotlight with nowhere to hide.

Even though the students have not been able to grade for 18 months this has not stopped their learning and development through lockdown with a student training video library to assist them, a period of time face to face between lockdowns and then Zoom classes during lockdown 2. Once we were able to train outside their face to face training and development took off in earnest as well as 121 personal training to get them to the required standard for this grading.

Back Training Inside

Back Training Inside

Last night saw Warwick & Leamington TKD club back inside Everyones Active Warwick site, St Nicholas Park Leisure Centre.

After 2 months of conducting training sessions out in the park twice a week we returned to the leisure centres main sports hall delivering 2 classes. This is ideal timing as the club has a promotion grading test scheduled for the beginning of June so will allow a quality practice environment for the students.

Thursday nights are still being conducted out in the park however this gives the students a fantastic opportunity to practice their skills in a realistic environment wearing clothes and trainers on as they would be if they had to deal with a physical situation for real.

New Post Lockdown Beginners Class

New Post Lockdown Beginners Class

With the C-19 restrictions coming to an end and our ability to deliver face to face classes we have started a new beginners class. This consists of an adult class and a junior class delivering tailored progressive learning for all age groups and enabling parents and children to train at the same time.

This beginners class intake will come to an end next Tuesday as the last few places are taken with a waiting list put in place for when we are ready to take on the next intake of beginners in 2 months time.

We believe in delivering the best quality training. Producing progressive growth and development, enabling our members to learn an important life skill, to be able to defend themselves, which in turn improves self-confidence and self-esteem in a fun friendly, vibrant environment.

Face to Face Training Starting in the Park

Face to Face Training Starting in the Park

With the C-19 landscape changing in a positive way we are very excited to be able to start up face to face classes from the 30th March ensuring safe social distancing.

These classes will be delivered in St Nicholas Park, Warwick behind the Astro turf pitches as we did last summer. Our classes are a great mix of adults and children training in the same class enabling families to train together at the same time.

Self-defence is at the heart of what we deliver. This is the ultimate goal, to give every member of the club a better chance of defending themselves if they are unfortunate enough to get into a physical confrontation. We deliver a syllabus that helps each student to prepare themselves for this.

New Year Resolutions

I have been reading a number of articles today looking for one to post on new year resolutions, however most of them have been a bit poor or annoying. A number of them suggesting that this is a bad thing, that it is negative, setting yourself up to fail!!! I disagree with this and here’s why.

Some sources are saying why make a new year’s resolution, it’s just the start of another year, just another day, you can make these changes any day of the year, why put this pressure on yourself, by doing this and failing it will have a negative effect on your mental state!!! It’s right you can do this any time, any day of the year but the new year is an excellent time after the Christmas excesses, it’s a natural start point and if you do it right and for the right reasons you won’t fail!!!

Why is a resolution to be better or do better bad?! It’s obviously not, trying to better ourselves and improve our life choices has got to be a good thing, it’s just how you go about it and why you want to do it.

New Friday Night Training Venue

New Friday Night Training Venue

During the summer months with the leisure centre closed we were fortunate to be able to continue delivering training outdoors in St Nicholas Park which was great to be in the fresh air. However now the nights are drawing in and the weather is turning we needed to get back indoors.

Everyone Active were able to give us back our old Tuesday times in the Leisure Centre however not our Thursday or Friday slots as they were using the sports hall to deliver their own classes. The challenge we have, as many other sports and activities have, is finding a training venue with enough room to allow appropriate distancing during the class.

Return to Indoor Training - COVID Prepared

As we continue to deliver classes outside in St Nicholas Park in Warwick, enjoying the summer weather and the added safety benefits of open air training and the ability to distance, we are also busy planning forward.

The summer won’t be with us much longer and with the government allowing leisure centres to open their doors again we have been preparing diligently for our return back in doors to our normal training halls in St Nicholas Park Leisure Centre in September.

Thank you to Martin Durrant Vice President, EU ER&D & Operations, for inviting us in.

Expansion of Warwick TKD into Leamington Spa

Expansion of Warwick TKD into Leamington Spa

I am pleased to announce that we have a new club to add to our exsisting portfolio which will be held at Newbold Comyn Leisure Centre in Leamington Spa. This cements further our excellent relationship and partnership with Everyone Active.

Classes will be held every Thursday from the 9th January from 7-8pm in the main sports hall. As with the Warwick classes they will be a family class allowing parents and their children to train at the same time for convenience.

The classes will be mainly run by Mr Martin Noddings and Miss Molly Rowe with the assistance, when necessary, from the other Assistant Instructors from Warwick which will create an excellent consistency of quality across both clubs.

The added benefit to opening up the Leamington club is that it will give members of both clubs the ability to train 3 nights a week if they wanted with no price increase from the existing £40 per month unlimited club night training package which equates to £3.33 per class.

If you are new to martial arts and would like to give it a go you can get a free trial session, just email for phone to reserve one of the limited place, we are also offering free training for all of January if you join before the 15th of the month.

Club Xmas Curry Night

Post training and award giving we held our club Christmas meal out which is traditionally a curry celebrating an awesome year with a fabulous group of people; this year was no different apart from holding it at Warwick Spice. Thank you to all the students and Instructors who were able to make it, a thoroughly enjoyable night.
