Master Ali has been made president of Taekangwon in Europe personally by Grandmaster Ik Pil Kang. This is a massive achievement for Master Ali and really shows the strength of the bond between the K.R.Ali Taekwondo Academy and Taekangwon.
Grandmaster Kang presented the award to Master Ali with the Mayor of Harrogate.
K.R.Ali Taekwondo Academy would like to thank Grandmaster Ik Pil Kang for running the 3 international Poomsae Seminars over the recent Bank Holiday Weekend. The instruction and guidance he has passed to students in Scotland, London and Harrogate will be remembered and practiced by all. We would also like to extend our gratitude to Grandmaster Shin who also assisted at the Seminars.
We would also like to use this post as an opportunity to announce that the date of our 3rd Belgium Seminar has been confirmed, and we have the dates of our new Seminars in Sweden, Canada and USA to come soon! There are also plans for a Seminar in Hong Kong in progress – watch this space for more information!

2018’s Sport Relief week (week beginning 19th March 2018) started with a Taekwondo demonstration at Hampsthwaite Church of England Primary School. Head Teacher Mr Phoenix invited Master Kambiz R.Ali to do a Taekwondo demonstration as part of their sport relief week.
Master Ali has 3 students who attend the school. They participated in the demonstration showing Poomsae pattens. Master Ali went through the basic techniques, how to punch and how to block, as well as some board breaking.
He even got the teachers involved, everybody enjoyed their time during the demonstration. Mr Phoenix thanked Master Ali for supporting sport relief week.
Master Ali said it was great to see all the children getting involved in sports such as Taekwondo and hopes to forge sponsor links with the Hampsthwaite school in the coming months by offering Taekwondo classes as an after school club.
K.R.Ali Taekwondo Academy would like to thank everyone who made the journey to Harrogate this weekend to watch, compete and judge the 2018 Mayor Cup Open Poomsae Championships.
