December grading results

Our final grading of 2025 took place on Saturday, December 13th, marking a significant moment as it was the last grading for the children's club.

The extra practice that students have been putting in was evident in the quality of the taekwondo displayed on Saturday. With only one class per week, students are encouraged to incorporate their own home practice whenever possible, and when the extra effort is put in, the reward is clearly seen in the precision of techniques and stances, the power and the recall of all the syllabus. I was very impressed overall, and it was lovely to sit and witness everyone's progress.
