WGS Tae kwon do

31/10/2026

Some of our students, who have shown an interest in teaching, got together today to reflect on their journey so far, what they think they do well, what they could do better and what was their biggest learning in the last 6 months. It doesn’t matter where you are on your coaching journey, constantly asking yourself these questions and reflecting is the key to being a better coach.

All agreed that they were important in maintaining the ethos of the club - community, sense of belonging, helping people to grow and achieve more than they ever thought possible; and of course fun and enjoyment. Also all agreed it was the responsibility of those teaching, to see those learning as individuals with individual journeys.

Good work guys. Teachers never stop learning.

1 week to go. Give whatever you can 🙏❤️

Please sponsor us. I have been teaching Tae Kwon do for 30 years this month and to mark the 30th anniversary of the club’s existence we are running a KICKATHON charity event to raise money for Dementia UK and Cancer Research UK.

I lost my mum to Dementia a few weeks ago and my dad has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s/vascular dementia recently too.
Please donate whatever you can. I know all to well how devastating this disease is for the individual and their families. It’s a system that’s overwhelmed and more and more people are being diagnosed.

Cancer has touched then lives of many of our students too and so we want to support both charities. Don’t feel you have to donate to both. Just choose the one that means the most to you.

Thank you ❤️

WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY

It’s ok not to be ok. Life can be hard and stressful. Sometimes our stress ‘bucket’ gets full to overflowing. We need to take time for ourselves to let some of that stress ‘flow’ out of the bucket so it doesn’t feel so full. A walk in nature, a moment of quiet to stretch and relax, a fitness class to focus on something else for a moment and get the blood flowing. No matter what else is going on in life, I’ve always found training in Tae Kwon do has taken me away for a moment, focus on something else, be with like minded people, release the stress. It’s always there, it is a constant. Turn up to class and get a reliable release and boost. Reset. Restart.
