On Sunday 26th June 2022, students from West Midlands Tae Kwon-Do attended the West Midlands local colour belt grading in Oldbury.
Over 95 students attended the Portway Lifestyle Centre in Oldbury to demonstrate their techniques, patterns and sparring routines to achieve their next grade.
Grading examiner and chief liaison officer for the TAGB, Grand Master Donnelly (9th Degree Black Belt), was impressed with the high standard West Midlands students maintained during this grading!
Senior instructor, World Master Vince Farquharson (local instructor for Dudley, Oldbury, West Bromwich, Kidderminster & Stourport) commented; “I am so so happy with how today’s grading progressed. The students performed really well under the grading pressure. I am particularly pleased with the outstanding theory scores achieved as well as our young junior students who made me incredibly proud. I am excited to be presenting the next grades my students and congratulations to all students of affiliated clubs – you are assets to your instructors”
