Littleover Taekwon-Do

To all students and parents/carers.

Due to recent advice from the UK Government around social distancing and non essential journeys it is with regret that I have had to make the difficult decision to suspend training at the club until further notice.

The covid-19 is a clearly a unique and rapidly changing situation, so at this stage I can’t say for how long classes will remain suspended. I will continue to monitor UK Government advice and react accordingly.

Other clubs within Authentic England have also stopped training. The grading planned for 29th March has been postponed.

I hope you all remain well over the coming weeks, or however long this lasts.

Please get in touch if you have any queries.

Jamie

Hello

Further to previous announcements, we can now run a class on Monday 23rd March as normal. So class is back on.

Jamie

The next coloured belt grading is scheduled for Sunday 29th March at Sutton Bonington. (expected start time 11am)

I will advise students who I feel are ready to grade.

Thank you

Jamie

Happy New Year!

Classes re-start on Monday 6th January and I look forward to seeing you back at training. The 2020 schedule is published here.

Grading dates have yet to be advised, but I’m expecting one before Easter, another before the summer break, and finally one towards the end of the year. Regular attendance is crucial to making progress through the syllabus and being ready to grade. As we only have one class a week it’s really important students attend weekly, throughout the term.

Theory – theory – theory! The physical side of Taekwon-Do we can only do in a training hall. However the theory can, and should, be learnt and practiced at home. Please ensure you have the appropriate sheet(s) from this web site (click here) and review them throughout the term. As students progress through the grades remember to revise previous theory as well as learning the new theory.

Finally, I’d like to start the class as close to 7pm as possible, to maximise the time available. Please aim to be at the hall for 6.55pm, and no later than 7pm. That will enable me to complete the register, lock the door, and get the class started swiftly. Thank you.

See you soon,

Jamie

Hello.

Hope you all had a good summer break. Classes re-start on Monday 9th September.

Look forward to seeing you then.

Jamie

Very sorry to have to cancel the last class before summer. Unfortunately I’ve taken ill and Garry is away with work.

Hope you all have a great summer and I look forward to seeing you in September.

Jamie

Hello

As previously mentioned, there is no class on Monday 1st July.

Instead I’ll run a class on Sunday 30th June, starting earlier at 6pm, running until 7:30pm.

I hope to see you there.

Jamie

Hello

Due to another commitment we are unable to use the hall on Monday 1st July, and thus there will be no class that day.

We’ve been offered Sunday evening, 30th June, as an alternative. We could stick to the same time (7pm to 8:30pm), or perhaps start earlier (e.g. 6pm to 8pm).

Next week in class please let me know if you can train on Sunday evening, and assuming sufficient interest I’ll run a class.

Thank you

Jamie
