Joint Sparring Seminar with Jiyu Martial Arts & Spartans Kickboxing Academy - June 2026
An action-packed day of shared drills, hard rounds and cross-club sparring in Cheadle
On Saturday 20th June, 8 of our Nuneaton Taekwon-Do students headed over to Cheadle, near Stoke-on-Trent, for a fantastic joint sparring seminar hosted alongside Jiyu Martial Arts and Spartans Kickboxing Academy.
It was a brilliant day of sharing drills, hard rounds and sparring ideas, with our students mixing it up with other dedicated martial artists and picking up plenty of new ideas to bring back to the dojang.
Dean Howard of Jiyu Martial Arts led sessions on fakes and setting up rhythm combinations, giving students a great insight into reading an opponent and creating openings before committing to an attack. Miss Danielle also ran a session on back kick set-ups, working with students on the timing and footwork needed to land the technique cleanly under pressure.
Huge thanks to Dean Howard and the team at Jiyu Martial Arts for hosting and for the warm welcome on the day. Cross-training sessions like this are brilliant for our students' development, testing their skills against different styles and approaches in a supportive environment — looking forward to the next one!
