Help!!!
There are quite a few students who would like to enter tournaments, need to get to pre black belt sessions or even just a lift from Kingsmead to Grange Park on grading day. Let me know if you are one of these people, so I can try to arrange something, don’t just stick your head in the sand. Red belts and above, you have to go to a pre black belt session every 6 months.

Kingsmead School Training March
We may be in the Drama Room for the next couple of weeks. My car is a dead giveaway. See which end of the playground it’s parked. Sorry about the continued parking difficulties

Barnet Training Wednesday 2nd April
St Andrews School need the hall on this night, so have cancelled us. I can give you 2 alternatives, come to Enfield for the 8-9pm class, or, I am making the Friday 4th April 5-6pm Kids class at St Andrews a mixed class for Adults also. I know it’s a bit early, but it’s just for one week and sadly I have no option, sorry!

Easter Training
More on this next month, but basically it will be the usual, kids classes cancelled but come to the later class and no training good Friday or Easter Monday.

Red Belts & Black Tags
New from 2013. All red belts and black tags must attend one pre black belt session every 6 months. You need to train at least twice a week to grade on time

Black Belts
The latest TAGB Newsletter pointed out that no-one can grade without the course certificates and the black licence books signed up. Check the calendar of events.

Clacton Training Camp
Mr Lutwyche is running his annual training camp at Clacton on 9th, 10th and 11th May. If anyone fancies it let me know, or get in touch with him direct.

Clash of The Titans
This is the competition where all the different Martial Art styles fight each other. The TAGB are the current champions so if you would like to go and support them it’s in Huddersfield, Yorkshire on Saturday 3rd May, tickets are £20.

Cheques
Could all cheques be made out to Enfield Taekwondo, please. If you would prefer to pay by standing order see me for details

Grading Theory and Syllabus
The TAGB, through me, sell a full range of manuals, dvd’s, clothing, equipment etc. If you require anything just see me.

Sparring Kit
All sparring kit used in class must have approved by Tae Kwon Do International marked on it, with the TAGB logo

Training and Gradings
It is quite noticeable, especially amongst the junior members that if there is a grading coming up and they are not ready to grade they miss training for 2, 3, even 4 weeks. If they are only training once a week, and especially at holiday periods they forget everything and I have to start teaching them all over again. The 18 lessons/ 36 lessons (Blue belts and above) rule for grading is simply that that’s the minimum timescale required to learn the syllabus properly.

Monthly Club Subscriptions
All monthly payments are due on the first session of the month and will be for a calendar month. Due to the extra weeks and the 5 days available training there will be 12 full payments. If you can’t/don’t want to commit to this, no problem, just pay the per lesson fee.
