New Bungay Black Belt – Freya the Fearless!


Freya Dodd aged 16 from Beccles has become the 3rd black belt to graduate from Bungay Taekwondo club after passing her gruelling black belt examination at the weekend.

Freya put in a 120% effort throughout the 8 hour GTUK grading held in Coventry in the Midlands. She has been training at Bungay Taekwondo Club based at Bungay High School for nearly 4 years and started in the free Wednesday class run as part of the schools extra curricular programme for students at the school.

Clinton Gillett the club instructor and head of Design Technology at the school said that “Standards at the grading were very high and Freya shone over the other juniors taking their grading”, this was reinforced when one of the senior grading examiners came up to me at the end and asked if she was one of my students and when I replied positively he said that Freya was the best student he saw grade all day!

If you would like to train with these new black belts or have a go at this Olympic martial art come along to the high school on Tuesday or Thursday evenings from 7pm. The club is actively recruiting at the moment and all new beginners are welcome. Contact Clinton Gillett on 07970 664965 for further details.
