The weekend went extremely well with everyone passing the coloured belt grading. Mr Swift was pleased with the standard of the Fife students on display.

The blackbelt candidates, Willie Aitken, Allan Roy and Joanne Shaw reaped the rewards of all their hard work and preperation with all of them putting in a solid display and perfroming well during a demanding black belt grading. All of them were successful and achieved their 1st degrees.

The sparring seminar hosted by Mr Swift also went well with a high number of students attending and benefiting from the expert instruction of Mr Swift.

Well done to all those that participated in the events over the weekend and thank you to Mr swift for making the long journey to Fife and dedicating his time to the Fife TKD students.
