Double Success for Penrith students

Penrith Students Oliver Tallis and Joss Yates went to Coventry on Sunday 20th April to take their black belt examination
It was a long day but at the end of it both students passed and walked (or limped) away with their new belts and certificates.
Both Oliver and Joss started Tae Kwon Do in 2004 and have trained hard for this day.

North West Championship Result

On Sunday 24th February several members of the Penrith Tae Kwon Do school traveled to the David Lloyd sports centre in Manchester to take part in the the GTUK North West England Tae Kwon Do championships.
For most of them it was the first time they had been in a competition and with over 200 competitors from all over northern England it was an exciting day..
Everyone enjoyed themselves and two members came back with trophies.
Bradley Quail had an excellent first competition and won silver in both sparring and patterns and Oliver Tallis won silver in sparring.
Everyone enjoyed themselves and they are all looking forward to the British championships in April and the Scottish championships in May.
