Beccles Taekwon-do All Classes Postponed due to Corona Virus

Beccles Taekwon-do Classes

All Beccles Taekwon-do Classes POSTPONED due to Corona Virus

Mr and Mrs Bedingfield have come to the decision to postpone classes until we are sure it is safe to continue. 

It is going to happen to all clubs in the coming weeks, if not days, and we do not want to spread or catch the virus by teaching ever decreasing classes of students.

We DO want to be here to start again when this is over, even if it is months of postponement! 

We will start working on a weekly ‘virtual tuition’ programme that we can email/message our students to follow.

All GTUK Gradings Postponed due to Corona Virus

With safety in mind for our parents, students, and Instructors it has been decided to cancel all promotional tests this quarter (coloured and black belt tests).

Black belt test applications have been processed and have been put on hold.

We will see how the situation develops in future months.

In the mean time all and your families please stay safe and let’s hope the situation improves for the better.
