Tigers on Top Form

Congratulations to Grandmaster Howard’s Dojang’s Taekwon-Do Tigers who were promoted to their next stripe by Senior Master Phelan last week. The thirty two students who train on Fridays, were aged between 6 and 9 years, and completed this year of the RITA’s children’s development programme.

The students demonstrated their technical skills, kicking, jumping, flexibility and Korean terminology for the examiner and were suitably rewarded for all their hard work and effort during the year. ‘I was very happy with their flexibility and jumping ability’ said their instructor Master Howard. ‘We really emphasised the important of stretching both in the class and at home. So it was great to see so many of the students doing the full splits at the exam’ he added.

Well done to newly promoted blue stripe, Finn Howard, who was selected by Senior Master Phelan for the grading award. The students who are 9 years and over will be moving on to the Taekwon-Do Dragon’s programme (9-11 years) in September.
