The Fife TKD fights from the recent Fight Night hosted by Endurance Martial Arts in Reddich, were captured on video and can now be watched by visiting the Videos section of this website.

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.

I took a lot of pictures of the recent competition but unfortunately they are very small due to not knowing how to work my new camera phone! They will be uploaded on this site later but are available to view now on our bebo website http://www.bebo.com/c/photos/album_detail?MemberId=8451270757&PhotoAlbumId=11742935475

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.
