Our annual Black Belt grading took place on the 18th September 2005. Eleven students were in attendence to take another step up the Taekwon-Do ladder. As usual the atmosphere was very tense as everyone was awaiting their name to be called to perform all the Nicholls disciplines, Traditional ITF Patterns, 1, 2 & 3 Step Sparring, Kick Patterns, Self Defence Patterns, ITF Sparring and Foot Sparring. Pursue one goal, Serve one master & gain a victory in one blow. One love one life. Well done to Cheryl Cooke, Martin Hall, Pherrel Chang & Daniel Hicks.
