Before gradings students are assessed on not only their ability, but also their attendance record which will be taken into consideration.
Only attending 3 or 4 sessions in a month will not progress a student on their path to becoming a Taekwon-do Black Belt.
Green Belt and above are expected to train twice a week when ever possible.

Sophie Akerman – Adult Ladies, Black Belt
Silver Patterns, Silver Sparring
Jamie Nicoll – Junior Boys, Yellow Belt

Barbara Mazza did not have any veteran competitors so was entered into the younger adults categories, and joined Jenna Akerman in a competitive sparring section that saw them both experiencing 2 rounds of sparring against 4th degree World Champion Mrs Emma Collett!
Bella Gibson(Junior Black Belt) along with Beccles instructors Mr and Mrs Bedingfield worked tirelessly all day as officials.
