Whether you were there to try your first tournament, to learn new skills, or to test yourself against others; you all did a fabulous job. To come away with best overall club is the byproduct of all your hard work at club. Bring your medals to club on Tuesday so we can take some photos and celebrate your success.

This one is a bit late going up, but Steve was our SOTW.

Steve is growing in confidence with every session, I previously couldn't get a word out of him, he is now speaking much more confidently and recently entered Continuous Sparring (TKD) at our Youth Muay Thai Tournament and one gold in that division.

The Steve of old wouldn't have even entered let alone win. He is also regularly attending Saturday Squad training and like many of our students this term, with increased commitment he is getting greater outcomes, having just double graded last week.

Well done Steve, great effort and development this term.

I'm incredibly proud of this group of students.
Yesterday we ran a stripes grading, everyone passed, and the ex*****on of techniques was so good that everyone double graded and a grading I thought would take two hours was completed in just 90 minutes.
Everyone performed their techniques with power and accuracy, very impressive.

The benefits of a greater commitment from the students, more consistent training, and an attitude where the entire group is pursuing excellence is really paying off.

Well done guys!!

I just want to acknowledge the progress of our junior Taekwon-Do students this term. Yesterdays class was literally the best junior Taekwon-Do session I have ever taken, as a group their technique, attitude & performance were exemplary.

They have really stepped up, & are training more consistently (2-3 x per week), with great purpose, and it really shows.

This new attitude to training is getting great results, with a growing group of committed students, competing regularly, achieving great grading results, and progressing through the syllabus faster than ever before.

Well done guys!!

The future of our Junior Taekwon-Do programme is looking very bright, and we're excited to see what these students can achieve over the remainder of the year.

Last night marked Grand Master Rimmer's final class as Head Instructor at Hwa Rang Taekwon-Do at TMAA.

We were fortunate to have members of Silla Taekwon-Do join us for the evening, making it a fitting opportunity to acknowledge Grand Master Rimmer's contribution to Taekwon-Do in Tauranga and throughout the wider region over many years.

On behalf of TMAA, Hwa Rang, and all the students and families whose lives have been positively impacted by his teaching, thank you for your dedication, leadership, and service to the art.

While Grand Master Rimmer is stepping back from the Head Instructor role, he will continue to be involved in senior training and the wider ITKD community moving forward.

For our students, classes continue as normal and we are excited about the future as we continue building a strong, positive, and engaging Taekwon-Do programme under the leadership of Mr Genti and our instructor team.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the evening special.
