Classes are now well underway at our fantastic new dojang on the Champions Business Park in Upton.

There are classes 5 days a week for a range of ages and abilities. Classes have proved hugely popular and we have welcomed many new members. We will have space for more people once covid restrictions relax.

Some more signs have gone up today, so everyone can spot us! A further sign still to come in a week or so.

Inside, the building and decorating work is almost finished, and it's all ready for the flooring to be laid.

We'll be ready to open up our classes here for under 18's when Covid restrictions ease on April 12th. Adults wil have to wait a bit longer according to Government guidelines

When the Government announced the lock down measures back in March, we began teaching classes on Zoom. Although this type of training has its obvious disadvantages, it has surprisingly had some benefits too. The classes have been a great success for adults and children in keeping on top of their fitness and maintaining normality. We have all learned to adapt our training, and in some ways, training can be more personalised. Some students even managed to grade remotely during this time, such has been their progress.

For those of our students who were not able to use Zoom, we provided tutorial videos, and offered the chance for them to send videos of themselves to us for feedback.

We have now begun to have 6 person training sessions outdoors.

Initially we took the decision not to take on any new members but just to work with those we had, however we have now decided that as the time approaches for face to face training again, we will offer a starter package, online for beginners. It consists of some one-to-one time online with an instructor as well as some group classes. The idea is that someone can come to the regular classes already having gained a grounding in the basics online.  Email instructor@wirraltaekwondo.com if you want to find out more.

Two of our students graded at the National Black Belt grading which took place in Cardiff on Sunday. Following a two day seminar, they were put through their paces in front of four Grand Masters (9th Dan) and nine Masters (7th and 8th Dan)

Isaac who is also the Instructor at the Liverpool School, gained his 2nd Dan. Whilst one of our junior members gained his 1st  Dan. Our junior member has been training with us for 6 years and put up a superb performance on the day gaining top marks in his group.

Fantastic performances at the BTF Championships in Hereford on Saturday. A team of 15 competitors and coaches attended, along with supporters.

Our team of 14 competitors came away with 7 GOLD medals, 7 SILVER medals and 6 BRONZE medals!

This reflects the high standard of students in our school.
