Congratulations to all Beccles and Bungay Taekwondo students on their well deserved 100% pass rate for this summer’s belt grading.
Well proud Beccles instructors.
Mr & Mrs B.
The examination was held at Bungay High School on 23rd June 2019
GTUK Regional examiner Mr Steve King 6th Dan from Wellingborough, said this was an excellent grading and that there were some very promising performances especially during the sparring. He also congratulated the newest white belt Taekwondo students on their 1st belt grading and said he was very impressed with the focus and standards displayed by the young students.
All students were rewarded with a fantastic 100% pass rate!
The 3 hour examination includes demonstrations of techniques including kicks, punches and blocks, patterns (sequences of moves), sparring, self-defence, power destruction and Korean terminology for the techniques in their individual belt grade syllabuses.
The clubs are run independently but both are affiliated to the same Taekwon-do association the GTUK, and teach the original ITF style of Taekwondo. The clubs are very family orientated, with many parents training with their children. The youngest students are 5 years old and there is no upper age limit.
The Beccles club is run by National Instructors: Mr and Mrs Bedingfield, who are well supported by their team of Black belt and Black-tag students. Classes are held on Mondays and Thursdays 7-8.30pm at the Venue, Beccles Sports Centre, the training dojang is situated in the activity room.

Both clubs have a very active student membership with over a 100 members between them and more than a third of them successfully completed their 1st Taekwondo belt grading of 2019.
The grading was taken by GTUK Examiner Mr Steve King 6th Dan, who said that the quality of student sparring, patterns, techniques and Korean terminology was excellent across the board.
There were some outstanding performances praised by Mr King from the Beccles students, newly promoted green belts Paulina Borkowska and Joel Thrower, along with Tyler Mingaye who had an excellent 1st grading.
A special well done to Beccles’s Blake Goffin for passing his Provisional Black Belt grading and being awarded his Black Tag belt, Blake will now start preparing for his full Black Belt grading to be performed in front of GTUK Grandmaster Oldham IX degree at a later date.
Beccles Taekwondo are associated to the GTUK and founder members of the exciting new OPEN ITF
