BLACK BELT GRADING SUCCESS

Congratulations to Shauna Lawson Pacey and James Lund on passing your black belt First Dan gradings.

You did yourself, your parents and Atherstone & Castle Bromwich Tae Kwon-do Club proud.

Proving that hard work, endeavour, sweat, perseverance, with a little talent, can go a long way!

Well done.

Black Belt Grading, English Championships, Coloured belt gradings, Easter Training.

 

Black Belt Grading.

The Black belt grading, (for Black stripes taking their first Dan black belt), will be on Saturday 21^st April, at 4.00 pm. 

Please note that our area is Central England South, and that other areas will be on before and after our area.

Don’t be surprised if others taking the same grading quote different times, as they are probably from another area.

 

The Address is: 163A Church Rd, Bristol BS5 9LA

 

Don’t forget to attend the re-arranged last Black Belt session, (15th April normal times and venue), where Master Donnelly will answer many of your questions, and give you tips and training for your grading.

 

English Championships 2018.

Well done to everyone who entered the English Championships, we had a really good day!

We won lots of medals, many fights and pattern rounds,  proving that the hard work coupled with a little talent really can pay off.

 

Coloured Belt Grading March 2018.

We had another successful grading at Atherstone, with everyone passing their grading.

In particular, we had lots of +’ and ‘A’ passes, showing students with an above average ability for their grade.

Students that have passed their Blue belt should now attend the later session ( 8-9 pm), if they train at Atherstone.

 

Easter Training.

There is no training on Wednesday 4th April or Thursday 5th April.

The next session is on Saturday 7th April 10.00 – 11.30 am.

 

 

See you there

 

 

 

Red Belt and Black Belt Training March 2018

We received  positive feedback  from Master Donnelly and Mr Carter for the students that  attended  the Red/Black Belt training sessions on Sunday 1st October 2017.

Key training ideas that were discussed included:

• Positions of hands when performing blocks ( Chambering).
• Foot positions for side, turning and front kicks.
• Power and focus.
• Fitness and the importance of regular training.
• Stances.

Hopefully these ideas re-inforced what we already do!
