Syllabus and Gradings

We hold regular gradings every month which tie in with the International Taekwon-Do Federations syllabus progression (ie. all ITF schools grade at the same time intervals all over the world).

Any member wishing to know their current syllabus requirements can email our office and a pdf will be sent back to you.

At Spirit Taekwon-Do Academies we work with you to ensure that you have the skills required to pass each grade. However, it is up to you to put the time and effort in as well and if you aren't up to scratch we offer remedial classes or Private lessons to get you up to speed. However, sometimes members for one reason or another are not up to the task and we believe in honesty and not allowing members to take a grading that they might fail. Occasionally someone has a bad day and does fail but we make sure that this is remedied as soon as possible.

This is not supposed to put anyone off grading or thinking we are overly harsh! We run proffesional quality schools & Acadamies where people are worthy of the grades they have and you don't just 'buy' each grade. Hardly anybody fails a grading because we work as a team to get you to succeed in your goals!

For a list of upcoming grading dates refer to the Latest News page on this website.

Martial arts reading – talk to Spirit Taekwondo Academies

Martial arts reading – get expert advice today.

Are you looking for martial arts reading? Spirit Taekwondo Academies are dedicated to helping you get the very most from your chosen martial art. Reading can be an important part of conquering the martial art you have chosen.

Martial arts reading – before you begin

Do you know why you want to take up martial arts? At Spirit Taekwondo Academies, the experts believe that there are some very straightforward reasons why people choose to take up martial arts. Reading the thoughts of these experienced practitioners and trainers could help you to make up your mind about which area you want to study:

• For fitness – for many people, fitness is the main reason for taking up martial arts. Reading what some people say about these sports, it’s easy to see why. Martial arts training is physically tough and is a great way to get fit. Many people train several times a week, and martial arts offer a whole-body workout.

• For the mind – martial arts may be very physical but they all usually have a spiritual side too. Martial arts reading materials show that many forms of martial arts are closely connected with the culture and beliefs of those people who developed, practised and trained in these arts, and the spiritual element draws many new people to the discipline.

• For self-defence – of course, self-defence is an important reason for considering martial arts. Reading books and watching films can show the extreme side of martial arts, but the truth is that you will learn how to defend yourself if you have to. For many people, this is the most important reason to take up martial arts.
