Countdown to
Your Next Big Moment

The TAGB Coloured Belt Grading on Friday 26th June is the next opportunity for all coloured belt students to progress to their next belt. Whether you're going for your first Yellow Stripe or pushing for your Red Belt, this is the moment all your training has been building towards.

🏆 Aim for 2 Classes a Week in the Build-Up

The grading is only weeks away — now is the time to push. Students who attend two classes per week in the final stretch arrive significantly more confident, more polished, and more prepared than those who only manage one. Even one extra session can make a real difference to how you feel on the day.

• ✅Know your patterns (Tuls) — run through them slowly at home, then at full speed in class. Repetition builds muscle memory.
• ✅Practise your step sparring — ask a family member to be your partner at home. The more natural it feels, the better.
• ✅Check your grading syllabus — visit the Belt Testing page for your current belt and make sure you know every element being assessed.
• ✅Get your dobok clean and pressed — presentation matters. Arrive looking the part.

🎯 Book a 1-2-1 Session for Extra Grading Prep

The Lincolnshire Taekwondo Championships is one of the best competitions of the year — and it's the perfect first competition for any student who has never stepped onto the competition mat before.
