2020 Black belt Grading

13 December 2020 Michael Rahn

Saturday December 12th was our Black-belt grading.

Join us and witness our Hi-Red Belts as they demonstrate their strength, flexibility and strive for their 1st Dan Black Belt.

There has been years of preparation to reach this level with some students starting as small children while others have taken a harder journey and began Taekwondo as an adult. You will get to see what it takes to be promoted to a 1st Dan Black-Belt!

There will be demonstrations in Poomse, self-defense, speed training , paddle & bag work along with one step sparing, free sparing and a final test of board breaks along with martial arts demonstrations.
So, join in and watch as our Black-Belts strive for their next level in martial arts.

“A black belt doesn’t mean you’ve finished learning. It means you’ve built the foundation to keep growing.”

Key Takeaways

A black belt grading represents years of commitment, consistency, and personal development. It marks a milestone, not a finish line.

Black belt is a beginning

Earning a black belt reflects readiness to continue learning with greater responsibility and understanding.

Consistency matters most

Progress to black belt is built through regular training and steady effort, not shortcuts or speed.

Mindset is as important as skill

Confidence, discipline, and resilience are central to reaching this level, alongside physical technique.

Support makes the journey possible

Families, instructors, and training partners all play a role in each student’s achievement.
