Taekwondo Team Saja

Don't forget to book your places for the last self-defence class of 2022 😉

Last Sunday was the first time that we have organised and provided the Poomsae scoring system for the British Student Taekwondo Federation BSTF 😃

Thank you to the fantastic referee team led by referee director Grand Master Shin!

We'll be back for the Winter Championships with an improved system 😉

We have one more FREE self-defence class coming up in cooperation with the community wardens.

To book your place please go to and book through the guild website 😉

Well done to Shakira who won a bronze medal 🥉 at the British National Poomsae Championships

We are happy that all the hard work of the last few weeks has paid off 😃.

With Fabian's bronze medal from the Dan U30 team, we are happy to bring back two medals from this year's nationals!

Happy birthday to us ☺️. 5 years ago it all started and look at us where we are now 😁.

We had a fantastic tournament today at the Manchester Open Poomsae. Thank you to Grandmaster Shin and all the other volunteers for hosting yet another fantastic tournament 😁.
Our two competitors Marianna and Fabian started their day by, you guessed it right, judging. After the lunch break it was finally time for Marianna's category, where she showed a great semi-final. After the final she can be very happy placing 7th in one of the hardest and largest categories of the day. Shortly after, it was time for Fabian's category, where he probably surprised himself more than anyone else finishing in second place 🥈. To round off the great day, Marianna and Fabian brought home 🥇 in Pairs.

Bonus, they ran into another fellow BSTF board member and had a spontaneous photoshoot with all the glorious medals they gathered today

Last Sunday our instructors traveled to Basingstoke to referee at the Bluewave Open.
Both of them had a fantastic time judging. For Marianna it was her first time as a newly qualified referee. For Fabian it was one of those rare occasions where he didn't compete, a fact that was often pointed out by confused athletes with the questions: 'Fabian are you not competing today?' and 'Why not?'

To which Fabian would reply:
'It is a lot less stressful when I can judge a whole day rather than running around like a crazy chicken all day trying to compete and judge'.

But don't you worry, Fabian and Marianna will be back competing (and judging) at the remaining tournaments this year 😉. (You might see Fabian running around like a 🤪🐔 again)

Thank you to .kma for the wonderful organisation once again!

Happy International Taekwondo Day! 🥳

It has been one year since we officially launched our club 😁. Thank you for training with us and we'll hopefully welcome more members very soon ☺️.

Last Thursday Fabian represented the University of Birmingham at the European University Games EUG 2022 in Lodz, Poland 💪.
He has put in lots of effort and training in the last three years since the EUSA championships and we are happy that it paid off. He finished 8th in the semi-final and qualified for the Final of the top 8. There he had to face the later gold medalist from Türkyie. Despite the loss he delivered a fantastic performance and finished the tournament in joint 5th place 😁.

With the EUG being a G-ranked tournament, this marks his best result in his Taekwondo career so far 🥳.

What an end to his time competing as a student!

Hi everyone,

we are taking three weeks off and will be closing the club during this time. We will continue with training on the 11th of August! We hope you have a nice time off and we can´t wait to see you again in August 😊.

Curious? Come and join us 😉
