Coventry Taekwondo

Coventry Taekwondo held our Soap & Candle Ceremony last Friday, May 15th. Black Belts ranking from 1st Degree to 6th Degree attended the somber, yet moving ceremony. If you were unable to attend the ceremony, please make plans for the next event. This is a very moving, emotional ceremony and puts things into perspective with gratitude. Thank you, Mrs. Stewart for being our photographer!

Master O'Connor, please accept our apologies for omitting your State Championship on our previous post.

Congratulations to our District Qualifiers!
Super awesome job everyone!
