BTF National Blackbelt Seminar & Grading - 21st September 2021

 

On Sunday 21st November, Nuneaton TKD hosted the British Taekwon-Do Federation National Seminar & Grading conducted by BTF President Grandmaster Wayne Brown IX.


16 of our students were in attendance with this being the first seminar for some of our colour belts. Throughout the day Grandmaster Brown covered fundamental movements, patterns, step sparring and knife sparring in detail before presiding over the Blackbelt grading.


This was the first BTF event since the start of the pandemic and it was great to see everyone again and train together. Congratulations also to those that successfully passed their blackbelt examinations (including our own Mr Ian Frisby II).


Thank you to Grandmaster Brown and our extended Taekwon-Do family for coming to join us in Nuneaton, looking forward to a busy 2022.
