Powell Taekwon-Do Academies

The final National Open Squad Training before the Euros later this year! Yet another brilliant session of training alongside the rest of the England Team 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 all pushing each other along and to new heights as always!

Our flag might be bare at the minute, but we will be getting this printed up with our Gold sponsors over the next week. We are now SOLD OUT of Gold sponsorships, which is simply amazing. But we still have space on our flag for Silver sponsors! If you, or someone you know might be interested in sponsoring our team, please get in touch 🙏

Next to look forward to is the ITFUe Umpire's Course on the 31st May, where we will be sending our senior grades to learn and develop the skills of umpiring 👔

Proudly sponsored by:

Goodwins Hot Tubs
DEWALT

A massive thank you to DEWALT + Goodwins Power Tools Margate for their sponsorship of our team 🙏

Thanks to being a Pro Partner of DeWalt, Goodwins Hot Tubs were able to secure another sponsorship for us at the Gold level which is simply amazing.

If you haven't heard of DeWalt, you might be buried under a rock. But they have tools for that! And for just about everything else too!

With over 100 years of experience, they continue to build the necessary tools, accessories and services to help build the future. Their tools are built to be abused and still keep going - a testament to their rigorous design and constant testing on the job site.

I would like to thank our very first Gold sponsor!

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY!

I am pleased to reveal our sponsorship levels, all in support of our amazing athletes competing at the European Championships this year.

If you own, or work at a company that is looking to sponsor local athletes, please consider any of our sponsorship levels. We have already had quite a few register their interest in supporting our team, but with limited printing space on the flag, it is a first come - first served basis.

Whilst we have had our uniforms, tracksuits and entry fees covered by our national organisation, travel and accommodation falls on the shoulders of athletes and their families. With costs as high as £1.2k per athlete, that is a lot of expense. Every bit of sponsorship helps, and goes directly to enabling our athletes to attend International events like these.

If you are at all interested, please reach out to [email protected] 🙂

I am pleased to announce that today, Mr Powell undertook his 5th degree grading up in Coventry with TST UK under a panel led by ITFU England Head Coach and Vice-President, Master Jon Tizick. A very difficult grading that covered everything from white belt up to his present grade.

With that all said, I am overjoyed to announce that Mr Powell has passed his grading and has been promoted to 5th Degree!

Spencer is a huge inspiration to our students, a testament to everything that our students can achieve, and I am proud to call him my instructor and partner.

Congratulations, Spencer!
