Directions to the Academy:  The school is a new build and therefore has moved a couple of hundred yards from the directions given on most internet sites.  It is on Wellingborough Road and is easily spotted as you approach it.

The 2nd new style competition training on the 9th March will be held at Loughborough University in the Taekwon-Do Centre.  This will run from 3pm - 5:30pm.  The session is open to junior black belts and adults from blue belt upwards.

The first session 2 weeks ago was a fantastic success with a great many positives coming out of the session.  The members fo the squad committee who were present and conducting the session, Mr. Ridley, Mr. Crisp & Mr. Miley were all extremely pleased with both the level of support shown and the level of committment displayed by everyone training.

If you're thinking that because you missed the first session you can't go to the 2nd, then think again!  The sessions are open to the students listed above at any time.  It's a fantastic venture to be involved with and you will benefit massively from it so get yourself along to Loughborough University on March 9th!
