Region 1 Black Belt Testing

On behalf of the UKITF we like to send our congratulations to the students that attended the Region 1 Degree grading. Lead by Grand Master Nicholls and board of examiners the student were put through their paces, tested on patterns, kicking drills, set sparing and destruction. Perhaps more importantly the students were further tested on their courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirt…the tenets of Taekwon-Do which should be instilled in any true practitioner.

Commencing at half 1 and running long into the day, the students were a credit to themselves and their instructors giving 100% from start to finish. After closing speeches from the panel and photos taken, the day was called to close with students leaving exhausted yet happy with their performance.

Congratulations to;
