Testing to see if this goes to my spammed Facebook account which I no longer has access too.

I will not respond to any martial arts equipment/clothing companies or random ‘BORING’ people that want me to follow you for cheap hits!
I get 5 a day and I will just keep ignoring you.

Congratulations to our Gini who has been offered a trial by the GB selectors to join the elite poomsae squad.
All that hard work is certainly paying off Gini.
Well done.

Jess and Isla Perfect get their black belts on Sunday.

Getting ready for another busy after school class.
A brilliant enthusiast group keen to learn every week.
It’s all about getting all 30 of them ready for their grading on the 27th of March.

Proud moment as our team of instructors are off to collect the prestige award for the best martial arts club in the south.

The club have never been so busy in the 30 years it was open by Master Colin Graves in 1992.

Many thanks to all the students, parents and the instructors Master Colin Graves, Master Sean Neill, Master Carolyn Westbrook, Master Kevin Westbrook, Donna Ward-Graves, Ed Jones and Paris Wateridge.

‘Without your support we wouldn’t be where we are today.’

Good luck to everyone taking part on Saturday and also to our Gini Brown.

The German Open Poomsae is taking place in Hamburg, Germany this weekend and a number of British Taekwondo athletes will be taking part https://www.britishtaekwondo.org.uk/german-open-poomsae-february-2023/

What a week it’s been as we have completed a full week of after-school classes.

Monday - Cadland Primary School A truly brilliant class as we move into the third term. So many great children and a total pleasure to teach. Many are now attending the outside classes and progressing up the belts.
The Tiger of the week trophy - Summer Bryan, So talented and pushes herself every time.

Wednesday - Marchwood Junior School Into the second term and already the class is showing massive improvements. Such a busy and energetic group who are now preparing for their first grading at the end of this current term.
The Tiger of the week trophy - Sullivan Matiatios. Great power on the pads and a lovely attitude throughout.

Friday - Rownhams St John's CE Primary School which started today and the response was staggering.
They had massive smiles at the end of the session as everyone of them gave 100%. Next Friday can’t come quick enough for Master Colin Graves
The Tiger of the week trophy - Fraser Francere. A great pushing kick and worked so well with his partner doing the self defence. Such a lovely lad to teach.

Many congratulations to Gini, Leanne, Nigel, Iris, Sophie, Harlan, Linden, Andy, Katherine and Paris from Waterside Taekwondo Club on your awards. You guys have given 100% and helped us continue to be the best martial art club in Hampshire.

It's been a fantastic year for the club as we now teach in schools 5 days a week which has seen us expand even further.

Making my way to Sindelfingen in Germany for a two day poomsae seminar with Grandmaster Ik-Pil Kang.
He’s known as the poomsae-coaching legend!!!

It’s all about taking my Grandmaster 7th Dan grading in 2023 which is long overdue.

Team Waterside took part in the British Nationals held in Worcester last weekend and Master Colin Graves was delighted with the progress and results.
We came away with 2 Golds, 2 Silvers and a Bronze medal.
