A fantastic performance from both students. They were tested on their knowledge of Taekwon-do terminology, performed patterns Hwa Rang and Choong Moo, 1 step and free sparring, as well as demonstrating their accuracy on the breaking holder in front of Grandmaster Rhee and the UKTA Masters Council.
Andrew Smith demonstrated his breaking powers by making light work of the new red boards, performing jumping turning kick to over head height and smashing 2 bricks in his bare feet! Not to mention performing 3 patterns, foot technique sparring and 3 bouts of free sparring. A great performance which paid off with a promotion to 2nd degree.
All 3 students from Elgin were awarded their certificate and belts by Grandmaster Rhee Ki Ha – The father of British Taekwon-do.
