Another fantastic grading was held in Totton under the watchful eye of our grading examiner Mr Daniel Lammin (6th Degree). This was one of the larger gradings that Swain Taekwon-Do have had, with 19 students being tested. The requirements included fundamental techniques, patterns, set sparring, free sparring and theory.

Before covering the results I want to say a massive thank you to those black belts who helped out on the evening, we really can’t do it without you volunteering your time; and also to Ben Rosie who came along to be a partner for some set sparring and free sparring, as well as lending a hand with the refreshments stand.
Congratulations to all those who passed their grading, and good luck with learning your new techniques!
