The UKTA’s National Course and Black Belt grading of 2021 took place at the East Grinstead Sports Club on Sept 10th – 12th.   

Almost 100 participants enjoyed the UKTA’s first in person event since the World stopped due to Covid-19 pandemic.

UKTA Grand Masters John Williamson, Michael Prewett, John Taylor and Gary Miller covered all aspects of Taekwon-Do starting with Fundamental movements working through all 24 Patterns, Sparring, Power, Flying Technique and Self- Defence.  The course finished on Saturday afternoon with a presentation of certificates for recent achievements.  

On Sunday there was the opportunity for some of the attendees to take their Dan promotions in front of the Grand Masters.  Full results of the grading are listed below.
