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.
We are pleased to announce that we will be starting a new class at Campion School, Sydenham in the new year.
The new class will be a joint venture between Warwick TKD and North Leamington TKD, both clubs are affiliated to the T-UK Association and will be on Friday nights from 6.30 - 7.30pm.
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.
Tonight we took fight club on the road to North Leamington TKD club. Some students might find the thought of Fight Club intimidating, the aim of this session was to show that there’s nothing to be worried about.
After a thorough warm up and dynamic stretching session we went on to utilising games to practice and rehearse skills and attributes needed for ring craft and fitness. This was followed by learning and practicing the basic foundation set up techniques of sparring, front leg kicking techniques and then we explored technique options to keep momentum going to win points.
This is the time of the year when a great number of people make new years resolutions, a contract to themselves to make positive change in their lives.
I have a great deal of posts popping up on my Facebook feed and a number of them suggesting that this is a bad thing, that it is negative, setting yourself up to fail!!! I would like to put my two penneth in if I may and put a positive spin on it and hopefully help some of you to better succeed.
Warwick-TKD takes students from 8 years old upwards with many parents joining with their children. We have a thriving adult membership with a number of British Champions and a member of the ITF England team.
