All coloured belt students that are 8th kup (yellow belt) or above need sparring gear.
Sparring is part of the grading for 6th kup (green belt) so thus we recommend students start sparring at yellow belt so they can get practice in.
Guidance on equipment is available here
We strongly recommend equipment is purchased from Academy Sports in Derby. They are located on Ashbourne Road. Academy Sports will be able to advise the correct size and type of equipment for ITF style Taekwon-Do.
There are four coloured belt grading dates scheduled for 2019. They are;
Sunday 17th Match
Sunday 16th June
Sunday 15th September
Sunday 1st December
Your instructors will confirm if you are read to grade, but dates are published here so students have an idea of the dates they should be aiming towards.
Note regular attendance is essential if you want to progress through the grades.
It’s Black Belt training on Sunday 20th January. Please remember for this session start time is 6:30 p.m. class runs to 8:30 p.m.
Quick update – we will now be running a class on Monday 28th January, as normal.

We look forward to seeing you.
Our final class for this year is on Monday 17th December.
Hope you can make it.

Hello to all LTKD students and parents/carers of students.
In order to improve communication between LTKD and our students, we now have a Facebook page:

And a Twitter account:

This website (https://www.littleovertkd.co.uk) will still be the primary source, but as updates are posted here they will also be posted on Facebook and Twitter.
I hope these additional methods of communication will be helpful in keeping up to date.
