CONGRATULATIONS to all our recent graders!

The next grading is scheduled for Saturday 10th September.

Another proud day for the club! We’re pleased to announce that two of our hardworking students were successful at the April 2022 GTI Black Belt Grading and have been promoted to 1st Degree!

Massive congratulations to:
Malika Nafees, 1st Degree Black Belt.
Saad Jaffery, 1st Degree Black Belt.

Malika and Saad have worked very hard over the years, and especially over the last couple of years (despite the pandemic!). We’re really proud of how they’ve committed themselves to their black belt training in preparation for today. Black belts are earned, not given; and these two have definitely earned theirs.

Welcome to the Black Belt club, Malika & Saad! Very well deserved!

Well done to our awesome students who were in action at the BUTL University World Championships last weekend!

On day one, all three of our colour belt competitors – Alan, Harry & Athika – fought incredibly well against strong opponents and did the club proud. We’re pleased to report that, after several tough matches and a final round that went on forever, Athika won a well-deserved gold in her sparring category, becoming University Taekwondo World Champion!

On day two, we had three students competing; and all three gave impressive performances to bring home the medals!

Callum won bronze in patterns, in a really impressive category. He then went on to beat some tough opponents in the sparring event, winning gold to become University Taekwondo World Champion!

Alan stepped up to the black belt sparring category for the first time. Despite being in obvious pain and having to stop several times with a knee injury, he fought like a tiger and won a hard-earned but well-deserved silver medal!

Sandra won a bronze medal in her patterns event. She also impressed the coaches and fought really well to take the bronze medal in sparring!

Thanks to Connor and Callum for doing a great job of coaching our fighters, and to everyone who came along to support them. Thank you to Mr Ross Sharman and the team at BUTL for all their hard work, and for being so helpful. We’ll done on a successful and enjoyable competition!

Thanks to the ITC organisers for a great day.

CONGRATULATIONS to all students who took part in last week’s grading. Everyone passed! 

Well done, everyone! We’re really proud of your hard work.

Thank you to our senior grades who helped out on the day.

Sunday 27th February was a successful day for our team at the OMA Championships in Deeside!

It was great to have Eloise and Joseph taking part for the first time, as well as to see Nicole making a return to competition after a long break. A fantastic effort from all our fighters, who each came away with at least one medal!

Well done, everyone! Thanks to all our coaches and supporters, and to One Martial Arts for a great day.

RESULTS: 2022 OMA Championships

What a superb start to the year for our team! We had 7 competitors at the GTI English Open on 23rd January, and they smashed it, winning 9 medals overall: 6 gold, 1 silver & 2 bronze!

Well done to everyone who took part, including Alan, who just missed out on a sparring medal after sustaining an injury; and to Connor, who couldn’t compete due to injury, but supported the event by officiating all day. Well done, team!
