Student's of the year awards 2023

2023 saw a very successful year for our clubs, new promotions to black belt, exceptional A pass results from each of the coloured belt area gradings, multiple world champions from the T-UK British Championships.

This made choosing the adult and junior students of the year very difficult.

In the end the Instructor team landed on the most deserving members. The criteria for the award is predicated on attendance, effort, attitude, overcoming challenges, taking on instruction and applying it, being a role model.

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.

C-19 Coloured Belt Grading Success

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.
