Brand New Bungay Black Belts

There are 5 super proud students from Bungay Taekwondo Club who have achieved their black belts after 3-4 years of training with Clinton Gillett (5th Dan) Jed Baddour, Isaac Slater and Amber Swanston were the 1st to get their belts as Pee wees, followed by 13 year old Bailey Aldrich in the junior section.  Jade Howgate aged 36 rounded off a superb day in the adult section.  The exam was taken in front of various panels of senior instructors from the GTUL including Grand Master Oldham and Master Auciello so it is a nerve wracking experience.  Jacob and Benjamin Burden also achieved their star 2 certificates on their way to becoming 2nd Dan black Belts.

The club has several beginner classes starting before Christmas so please pop along or check out www.bungay-taekwondo.co.uk for details.

Successful Autumn Belt Grading 7th October 2018

CONGRATULATIONS to all the martial arts students from the Beccles and Bungay Taekwondo clubs who passed their Autumn Belt Grading.

The examination was held at Bungay High School on 7th October 2018

GTUK Regional examiner Mr Steve King 6th Dan from Wellingborough was very pleased with the standards displayed by the students on the day, he congratulated them on their work and commitment to their training, and they were rewarded with an excellent 100% pass rate!

The 3 hour examination includes demonstrations of techniques including kicks, punches, blocks, patterns (sequences of moves), sparring, self-defence, power destruction and Korean terminology for the techniques in their individual belt grade syllabuses.

The clubs are run independently but both are affiliated to the same Taekwon-do association the GTUK, and teach the original ITF style of Taekwondo. The clubs are very family orientated, with many parents training with their children. The youngest students are 5 years old and there is no upper age limit.
