Yesterday saw the first Central region coloured belt grading for 2017. We had a number of students in the grading all nervous and aprehensive at the start, all good emotions as it shows you care and drives your performance.
Well done all of you, as Mr Archer chief examiner said, the standards were excellent; as I said last week, go and make yourself, the instructors and the club proud, and you all did this, fabulous.
Results and belts will be given at class this week as well as teaching all successful students their new patterns.
Well done all that attended yesterdays Central Region Fight club, great energy, great spirit, great commitment. The improvements that you are all making are excellent, there is a real shift in sparring technique and style. Here are a few pictures from the session, thank you Jamie Crump.

Another weekend, another competition, this time we traveled to Manchester for the T-UK Trident Championships and again Warwick-TKD and Kineton-TKD triumphed. The medal haul below is impressive but probably even more importantly we took some yellow tags up to compete for the first time; what a performance by every single one of them they competed out of their skins, if this is what they are performing like now our future is looking great for future competitions and grading performances.
