Winter Freestyle TaeKwonDo Colour Belt Grading – February 2024

Our first Grading of 2024 is for Colour Belts and will be hosted at the Lockswood Community Centre. After a successful trial in 2023, we will be maintaining the structure of having a prep class before the main event. We will also have a White to Yellow Belt Grading time too.

All members must register to be able to Grade. Registration closes on Friday 23rd February at 9:00pm. If you miss this deadline, a £10 per person admin fee will be added to the total cost*.

White to Red Belts will Grade on Saturday 24th February at the Lockswood Community Centre. White to Blue Belts may request to Grade on a different date up to 5 days before or after the main Grading date with a justified reason. This must be confirmed before registering and then noted in the Additional Details Box.
Purple to Red Belt can only Grade at the main event.
