Technical training at Victoria Hall, Coalton of Balgonie is cancelled this Sunday, 15th November, as the hall is being used for other activities. It will recommence on Sunday 22nd November.

The Fife Taekwondo Group, Christmas Dance takes place on Saturday 12th December at Victoria Hall, Coaltown of Balgonie. The night has previously been a very enjoyable occasion with a good time being had by all that attended.
Given the financial pressures of Christmas we try to make things as cheap as possible so tickets are only £5 and it’s “bring your own drink” however soft drink mixers and bottles of lager will be available to buy at cheap prices. There will also be a buffet available and the “Student of the Year” presentation will take place.

We fully appreciate that this is a very busy time of year for everyone but if you can make it you’ll definitely have a good night. The dance is open to everyone so please feel free to take any many friends and family with you. Tickets are available to buy now from your club instructor.

We are also in the process of putting together Christmas Hampers which will be the main prize for a raffle which will be drawn at the Christmas Dance. We are currently looking for donations for the hamper so please feel free to donate any gifts that you can. All donations will be greatly appreciated.

Raffle tickets for the hampers will be on sale soon and can be purchased from your club instructor at £1 per strip.

As always we really appreciate the efforts of all our students and parents of students in attending and supporting these events. It’s the support of everyone that makes Fife Taekwondo Group such a special organisation and we are very grateful to everyone involved for all the support given and efforts made so far.

Please note, training will resume as normal on 19th October 2009 but there will be no adults class on 26th October 2009. The class was previously cancelled for November 2nd but it will now be on all through November.

The recent ITS Fight Night took place in Redditch and was hosted by Endurance Martial Arts Instructors Lee and Elaine Grazier.

The night was a success with a number of highly exciting and entertaining nights taking place.

A total of 8 adult members of Fife Taekwondo Group took part and performed well winning a number of medals against the more experienced ITS fighters. Every Fife competitor fought well and some were very unlucky not to win their matches.

On the whole it was a well run and exciting event with good experience being gained by all those that took part.

All of us at Fife Taekwondo Group would like to thank Mr and Mrs Grazier for their excellent hospitality and congratulate them in what was a very successful event.

All the results from the night together with a link to the Photos from the night can be found by clicking on the ITS Link on this website and visiting the news section!

Due to the popularity of the Woodside club and the large amount of students attending we have had to split the club. Starting from Tuesday 29th September the new training times will be as follows

RAINBOWS (under 8yrs) 6pm – 6:30pm
JUNIORS 6:30pm – 7:15pm
ADULTS 7:15pm – 8:30pm

Rainbows which have attained the grade of purple belt or above may also train with the Junior class, however this is to supplement their training within the rainbow class.

The next competition takes place on Saturday 17th October and is hosted by Woodside Taekwondo Club.

Following the success of the previous competition, this one looks to be our busiest yet. With exciting patterns, jumping kicks and sparring sections available this competition is not one to be missed.

The competition is open to all students aged 13 years and under. It takes place at Woodside Community Centre, Woodside Way, Glenrothes.

Please speak to your instructor for more details and entry forms.

Please try to submit your entry forms as soon as possible

A Casino night fund raiser has been arranged for Saturday 10th October. The night has been arranged to raise funds for the Fight Night in March next year. It is vital that everyone involved with Fife Taekwondo Group makes every effort to attend and support the event.

Every student/parent will be asked to try to sell 5 tickets for the event.

The event is a really fun social night which involves 2 hours of fun, good-willed gambling on the casino events, and a disco for the remainder of the night. There is a bar at the event.

The event takes place at Victoria Hall, Coaltown of Balgonie, and begins at 7:30pm on Saturday 10th October. Tickets cost £5 however this entitles you to £5 worth of chips to gamble with.
