Hi all,
As the government is now allowing gyms to reopen and Leicester city are easing restrictions I have decided that we At Leicester Taekwon-Do will reopen in September 2020.
More details to follow with regards to class timings etc. Once I have had a final few questions answered by the venues.
We will only be training once a week due to a change in my personal circumstances. Most likely a Wednesday evening.
I will also be piloting a new way of paying in light of the COVID risk assessment from the BTC and UKITF. More details to follow soon.
Thank you once again for your patience and support over the last few months
Take care
Nick.
Over the next few session, I will be focusing on movements from these patterns. It will not be learning the patterns just explaining and practising movements from the patterns so all are still welcome to attend.
Monday 29th – Do San (green tag pattern)
Friday 3rd – Yuk Gok (Blue tag pattern)
Monday 6th – Choong-Moo (Black tags pattern)
Friday 10th – Choi Yong ( 3rd Degree pattern)
Thanks,

On Saturday 20th June 2020 we had our most recent Kup grading. This was a one off grading as the Kup Grading from March was postponed due to Corona Virus. Even though many of the students have still been training online I understand that maintaining a good standard can be hard. I am very happy to announce that everyone passed and many passed at a good standard!!
As with all areas of Taekwon-Do there are always areas that can be improved.
2. There were a few times when the wrong section was used. if the technique is middle section then it finished at shoulder line etc. These corrections are important for the art side of the Taekwon-Do technique. Therefore they need to be know.
3. Remembering the reaction hands in most techniques.The reaction hand is important as it gives the body a equilibrium
4. Remember that we go through the start position and that the start position is there to allow the movement to generate the maximum amount of power
5. When performing a technique it is paramount that you fully understand the application of the technique. We need to know why and what the purpose of the technique is in order to correctly perform it.
6. Step sparring will be completed in the next grading
7. Power tests will be undertaken in the next grading for all those who need to do breaking to pass.
Overall the standard was very high and everyone did themselves proud. Well done to all.
Well done to all
