Congratulations to the promoted students of Warwick & Leamington TKD

We would like to congratulate the 37 students of Warwick & Leamington TKD who recently participated in the T-UK regional grading under the guidance of Master Archer from Taekwon do-UK. Your dedication, perseverance, and commitment to the art of Taekwondo and to the club are excellent, and we are immensely proud of your achievement.

First and foremost, we would like to commend the three students who achieved an outstanding A pass in their grading, Elsa Clegg, Charlotte Jackson and Alison Miller. This remarkable accomplishment is a testament to their unwavering focus, discipline, and hard work to achieve excellence at their grade.

End of Year Promotion Test

The year at WLTKD was rounded off with a coloured belt grading with 33 students being selected as reaching the standards necessary to try for promotion. Master Archer the President of the T-UK led the grading panel.

A number of elements are taken into account for promotion, attendance levels, technical ability and attitude. Both physical and mental attitudes we feel are important to be taken in to consideration and recognised.

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.

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 all the students and Instructors who were able to make it, a thoroughly enjoyable night.
