Hi everyone,  I am please to announce that all students from green belts and above will be able to start sparring in class again from September! Sparring is super fun and a huge part of our training and sport, I cannot wait to be able to teach that aspect of Taekwondo again in our classes! If your child is now a green belt and does not have their T.A.G.B. sparing kit yet, please get in touch so we can organise it.  If you have your full sparring kit already, please bring it to class so we can start back as soon as possible!

MAY 2021 RETURN TO CLASS PROTOCOL

Image
  COVID 19 RETURN TO CLASS PROTOCOL: No training if feeling unwell or other members of the household displaying symptoms for Covid 19! (This goes without saying, but I will be very strict on this one and will not allow students to train if they are showing signs of illness).  Do not attend training if your class or school year has been asked to isolate due to Covid cases in school. Members have to make sure their licence is up to date (I will have licence forms with me at every session and will contact students who need renewal). Classes will have social distance rules in place (following the latest Welsh Government guidelines, children under the age of 11 do not have to social distance anymore but I will keep the 2 metres rule on for now). Class size has been reduced to 15 students maximum for now so we have an updated timetable. Class length has been shortened so we can fit in more sessions and leave enough time in between classes for students leaving and entering our traini...
