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.

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.

The Fife Taekwondo Group, under 14yrs Competition takes place at 9:30am at Victoria Hall, Coaltown of Balgonie. Entry for competitors is £5 and access for Spectators is free.

Good Luck to all that attend.
