Monday 29th May, our Wishaw gym will be closed for the May Bank Holiday weekend, unfortunately this is out with our control.
Should you however wish to keep up your training, there are Taekwon-Do classes are on in Livingston, see our timetable for details.
Our next Inter club championships is being held on Sunday 4th June, at our Livingston gym. Entry forms are now available from your instructors, and should be returned by the closing date of 30th May.
Events are as follows;
Punching (x 4 forward & backwards)*
Patterns
Sparring
Special Technique
The competition is open to all our students from Little Ninja’s up to our Teens. We have also added this year a punching* category for those in our Little Ninja classes who have yet to learn patterns. All categories are age and grade specific, with sparring divisions being ran in a league format, meaning each competitor is guaranteed more than one bout in categories of 3 or more competitors.
Please note that we do recommend that children taking part in sparring have their own sparring equipment, not only is it more hygienic, but saves time on the day of the event. Should you require to purchase, please ask your instructor for current deals.
A full time table will be issued after the closing date. Competitors only require to attend during their allotted time slot.
