UKTD Seminar report November 2011:

On Sunday 20th November around 100 UKTD students and Instructors convened to train at a special seminar conducted by UKTD President and Chief Instructor Master Nissan Moradoff, 7th Dan Black Belt. The seminar catered for all levels from beginner right through to 3rd Dan Black Belt.

Topics covered included blocking, striking techniques, kicking and counter kicking manoeuvres, sparring and patterns. All those who attended had a tremendous boost to their training and had the rare opportunity to be taught and guided by an ITF Tae Kwon-Do Master Instructor.

We would like to thank all parents and spectators for their support.

Our next seminar is planned for spring 2012 and we look forward to welcoming all our members as well as students and Instructors from other organisations. Full details to follow in due course.

Representing England:
The UKTD congratulate 3 of its Black Belt members who represented England at the European Tae Kwon-Do Championships in Estonia.

Sulaimaan Lim and Callum Young, both 1st Dan Black Belts, along with Mr Bogen 5th Dan, an Instructor with the UKTD, travelled as a part of the England TKD Squad to compete at the ITF European TKD Championship between 22nd - 26th February 2011 held in Tallinn, named "European Capital of Culture”.

Mr Bogen, an experienced competitor both nationally and internationally, won a silver medal in the individual 5th Dan patterns category in what was an exciting and close final against his Russian counterpart. He also collected a bronze medal in the team Special Technique event which involves aerobatic leaps delivering flying kicks to targets, some of which positioned close to 3 meters high!

Sulaimaan and Callum, both age 12, were selected to join the team following intensive training with the England Squad and having passed the selection process of the England Team coaches. They both battled against very tough opponents in their individual sparring and patterns divisions narrowly missing out on a medal position.

The UKTD are extremely proud of Sulaimaan and Callum who represented England and the UKTD with impeccable attitude, maturity and focus.

We look forward to other UKTD members following in their footsteps!
