We have two different types of gradings where you can progress towards a black belt and beyond.
You may prefer either traditional Taekwondo or Sports Sparring.
The traditional grading is more technical where you will learn over the three months a 18 to 25 step pattern plus you will need to learn at least four kicks which are done on the spot. We have recently added a technical block and strike which we require it to be competition standard.
This traditional grading also involves sparring but this this is no contact.
The Sports Sparring grading is done against an opponent and you would need to know your four kicks so you can demonstrate them in the 2 x 2 minute rounds.
These gradings are done with full sparring equipment and that must include a gum shield.
The gradings are most suited for competition training so you can progress up the belts plus also train to take part in either test matches or competition locally or nationally.
