Tae-kwon do students make the grade




Colour belt grading examinations were passed by Spalding and Long Sutton students at the Mark Farnham Schools of Tae Kwon-Do.

To take part in a grading, a student needs to have worked for an allotted time and be up to a good standard for the grade they are taking.

Students all start at white belt and work though yellow, green, blue and red grades until they are ready to aim for their black belts which they take at Bristol in front of a panel of examiners.

The Mark Farnham Schools have their gradings at Providence Street Youth Centre, King’s Lynn.

Gradings are held on Sundays and start with a one-hour training session where the student runs through the requirements, then they take part in their grading session.

This month’s grading saw 104 students attend three sessions on the day. They achieved a 100% pass rate with good grades - making a total of more than 14,000 over the last 32 years.

Students receive their grades and belts at presentations which are held at their own school during the next week.

Anyone interested in learning martial arts and tae kwon-do in a friendly, fun atmosphere should contact Mark Farnham on 07771 644460 or go to www.mftkd.co.uk
