Well done Mr Littleworth for passing his 2nd Dan grading last weekend!

Must commit... must commit...

This is quite possibly the best self defence education you can ever have!

Some crazy powerful kicks!

Training tonight!

How often have you heard someone say, ‘I’ve got a black in Taekwondo’, or ‘Karate’, or any other martial art for that matter?
It’s a fairly common ‘intimidation phrase’ used by people who have clearly misunderstood the whole point of a martial art. To give you some perspective on this, did you know that once you attain the ever-fabled rank of black belt, there are still 8 more ranks to follow?
To give you even more perspective, it is said to take between three and six years t...o get your black belt, which means you’ve earned 9 belts in total. However, it will take a minimum of a year and half to go from a 1st Dan (the first black belt) to 2nd Dan (the second of nine black belts). To go to the 3rd Dan, you will need to wait a further two years.
This said, people who have earned a black belt have achieved a great deal and will be well versed in the martial art, but it is far from the end. Indeed, some practitioners of the martial arts have said that when you reach black belt that is when your training will truly begin.
Doing Taekwondo, and indeed a lot of other martial arts, is about self-betterment, not about impressing other people, or knowing how to beat someone up. Taekwondo itself was founded through unification, to bring people of all walks of life together.
And as a wise person once said, “A black belt just holds your trousers up; being a black belt is a frame of mind.”
If you would like to come along and train you can contact Mr Reeves on 07834 169020 or email info@bandongryok.org.uk
