Tunbridge Wells instructor Mr Thompson took one of his students, Sarah Budd and another student from Crowborough, Nick Edmunds to the seminar. It was an amazing experience, 3 hours of non-stop sparring drills. It was great to see so many students from different groups attending just to practice Taekwon-Do with no politics. The seminar was conducted in a great atmosphere, with both instructors exuding enthusiasm and inspiration.

We look forward to the patterns seminar in June and guest seminar in September.
