2020 2nd & 3rd Dan Black Belt Grading

Saturday December 12th was our Black-belt grading.

Join us and witness our Black Belts demonstrate their strength, flexibility and strive for their 2nd and 3rd Dan Black Belts.

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.

“Higher Dan grades are not about proving yourself. They’re about showing what years of steady training and reflection have built.”

Power with Purpose Team

Key Takeaways

Higher Dan gradings represent long-term commitment, personal growth, and contribution, not just technical progression. They reflect years of consistent effort and maturity within training.

Dan grades reflect experience

Advancing beyond first Dan recognises depth of understanding, responsibility, and ongoing dedication to training.

Progress is earned over time

Higher gradings are not rushed. They acknowledge years of consistent effort rather than short-term performance.

Growth extends beyond technique

Senior gradings place greater emphasis on mindset, leadership, and understanding of Taekwondo values.

Learning never stops

Achieving higher Dan levels reinforces that Taekwondo is a lifelong practice, not a destination.
