TTM held a grading on Sunday while many people were still in bed or having breakfast eyes glued to their screen.
The dojang door was opened nice and early for our enthusiastical and well prepared jejas that have one thing in their mind; that is to do their best in their belt grading.
The standard of white belt jejas in the 7 years & under, certainly impressed the examiners. We also had 5 years old candidates attempting the colour belt grading in the morning session. Everyone did well and so did the adults that came well prepared. Congratulations to all successful students.

The afternoon session was a black belt grading the jejas have been waiting for, however some have prefered to stay in their last black belt which was long overdue. 13th September 1pm marked the day they will remember forever in their life. This is the day they have been aiming, waiting and training so hard for; their black belt grading. Many hours have been put in to train for and sacrifices made to reach this moment and performed successfully on the day. All Tam Taekwon-Do jejas know how serious the TTM grading is, but this has never deterred them. Due to the Covid-19 restriction level limited number of black belt supporters were allowed to attend. They came with full support  and gave plenty of encouragement for their dojangmates to progress to the next level. It is through this camaraderie that our jejas are known for, making Tam Taekwon-Do Mudokwan to be recognised as the best place to train together.
Thank you to the black belts who helped on the day and well done to all who graded.
