Fife Taekwondo Group has now reached over 200 members.

This milestone is a massive achievement for our group which has only been running since September 2008.

With new clubs continuing to open and further plans for continued expansion later on this year, our group is developing  all the time.

Many thanks to all our existing members and instructors that continue to promote Fife Taekwondo Group

Cadham Taekwondo Club has been running for some time now and has expanded into a very busy class. With the numbers continuing to grow every week, it has been neccessary to split the class into seperate Rainbow and Junior classes.

From now on the class times will be as follows:

Rainbows (4yrs-7yrs): 5:45pm – 6:15pm
Juniors (8yrs and above): 6:15pm – 7pm

It is appreciated that the rainbows have now lost some time from their class, however it is anticipated that the split class will allow better training for the needs of the younger students.

If any students will be struggling with the new times then please speak to Mr Fisher who will do everything possible to accomodate the students needs

A new Fife Taekwondo Group club has recently opened under the expert guidance of Miss Elaine Patrick.

The club is suitable for children aged from 4 – 12yrs and it is already proving to be a popular club with a number of new students already taking out memberships.

The class takes place every Monday evening from 6:30pm – 7:15pm at Fitness Factor, Mitchelson Industrial Estate, Kirkcaldy (opposite Kart Start).

Cadham Taekwondo Club is hosting a junior competition which will take place on Sunday 27th June. The competiton will consist of many Patterns, Sparring and High Kick sections.

It is hoped that there will be a large number of students competing. Please ensure that you recieve an entry form from your instructor and submit it as soon as possible. Entry costs only £5 for competitors and entry for spectators is free.

The ITS British Championships took place on Sunday 16th May and it proved to be a successful and exciting event for all those involved.

Fife Taekwondo Group was requested to submit an adults, male and female Scottish team for the event. Being the only ITS group in Scotland, the international teams comprised of members from the Woodside and Pitteuchar clubs as follows:
SCOTLAND MEN: Ross Fisher, Paddy Paterson, Allan Roy, Willie Aitken, Andy Hutchison (Sparring only), Darren Fullerton (Patterns only)
SCOTLAND LADIES: Joanne Shaw, Cheryl Blakey, Karen Fisher, Michelle Slater.

Both the teams put on an excellent and solid display in both the Team Patterns and Sparring sections against teams from England, Wales and USA which all comprised of teams with considerably higher grades and more experience. A number of members won their fights against some very good competitors.

The following junior students also attended and all put in an excellent performance at the competition:
Connel Fullerton, Neve Stewart, Niamh Roberts, Kyra Stevenson, Shannah Stewart, Poppi Roberts.

The following students won medals:
Poppi Roberts (Leslie) – Bronze Patterns
Shannah Stewart (Woodside) – Gold Continueous Sparring
Kyra Stevenson (Woodside) – Silver points sparring
Neve Stewart (Woodside) – Gold points sparring
Connel Fullerton (Pitteuchar) – Gold Patterns

Darren Fullerton (Pitteuchar) – Gold Patterns
Andy Hutchison (Woodside) – Gold points sparring
Mr Paddy Paterson (Pitteuchar) – Bronze Patterns
Mr Ross Fisher (Woodside/Cadham) – Gold Patterns, Bronze points sparring, Silver continueous sparring.

Given the high level of competition at the event to win all these medals is a massive achievement for our group and all that attended should be extremely proud of themselves and the way that they competed.
