Christmas Holidays 2025 and Tae Kwon-Do Equipment

We’ve had a busy year for 2025 with many new members coming though the door and trying tae kwon do for the first time. As well as existing members achieving their next grades and back belts.
Time to wind down for the holiday season, and wish all our members a merry Christmas and Happy New Year in 2026.

Speaking of Christmas, if you require any sparring equipment for the new year, check out Pete Whitehead at Academy Sports at: https://www.academy-sports.co.uk/.
