Hello everyone, hope you all started the year 2014 full of positive energy and are gearing up a for fun training time with the Red Taekwondo Club!

From this year, I am introducing a 3 tag system between each Kup grading. All students will be given a black tag each time they complete the techniques for their grading syllabus. However, students who participate in any Taekwondo competition, either Kyurugi (sparring) or Poomsae (pattern), will be awarded 1 black tag automatically.

The eligibility for applying for grading is according to the student’s attendance from the last grading date together with 3 black tags.

10th (white belt) and 9th Kup (yellow tag) student’s attendance should be 20 lessons or over and from 8th Kup (yellow belt) above should at least be 30 lessons from the last grading date. Dan graders should at least take 3 gradings before applying for 2nd Dan grading.

Red Taekwondo club have started the Little Tiger class. This class is for children aged from 4 to 6 years old. Please spread the word around for me! Little Tiger class is on Friday from 4.30pm to 5.10pm at the Northgate Youth Centre and is £3.50 per lesson or £32 for 10 lessons if paid in advance.

Like I have mentioned several times before, it is important that all students have their own protective gear for safety.
