Also a massive thank you to all the parents for your support, staying together and following all the competitors to different areas throughout the day.

New Black Belt!

Very happy and proud to present Ben Sutton with his Taekwondo 1st Degree tonight! It's great to welcome him to the Black Belt ranks after successfully taking part in the Black Belt grading last weekend.  The National Black Belt grading took place on Sunday the 16th of October 2016 at the T.A.G.B. Headquarters in Bristol and was led by a grading panel of World Masters and Senior Instructors of the T.A.G.B. All students were asked to demonstrate their theory of Taekwondo, technical skills, as well as their pattern knowledge, application of self-defense and sparring abilities.  Ben represented his school and Instructor in the best way possible and has now become a role model and inspiration for his training partners by reaching the rank of Black Belt! Ben started training with me in 2009 and is only the 9th student to achieve the level of Black Belt in our Cowbridge Taekwondo school. I am once again a very proud Instructor! Well done for this great achievement a...

Massive congratulations to 14 years old Ben Arnesen from Cowbridge on placing third at the recent Taekwondo International World Open Championships!  The tournament took place on the 16th and 17th of July 2016 at the Birmingham Barclaycard Arena with upwards of 3,000 competitors coming from all over the World to test their skills and battle it out in the different aspects of Taekwondo.  The competition was a huge success and ran perfectly over the 2 days to accommodate the thousands of competitors taking part in events such as traditional and musical patterns, point stop and continuous sparring, destruction and International Teams sparring event.  Ben took a hard fought Bronze medal in the junior red belt heavyweight sparring division after 4 gruelling fights, only narrowly missing out on a place in the finals. This is a fantastic achievement for Ben and a great follow up to his recent third place at the Welsh Open Championships earlier in the year! Ben is the f...
