We have had a fantastic couple of days training at the first International police martial arts federation self defence seminar in Harrogate & London. We would like to give huge thanks to GM Hur and GM Don for coming from the US and South Korea to teach this amazing seminar. We would also like to thank our dear mayor and mayoress for attending the seminar and kindly presenting the awards and certificates to those training at the seminar. We have really enjoyed the opportunity to practice with the best in self defense.

In addition to the two seminars, we have met with Harrogate Borough Council and Andrew Jones MP to discuss expansion of the IPMF curriculum across the UK – watch this space for more details!

Earlier this month, KTA hosted a grading which included a whole host of new students grading from white belt. Everyone performed very well and passed on a day which was followed by more success at the Bradford 1-2-1 event.

All our fighters won, with Jacob & Miles winning gold and Maksymilian, Ben, Maxence, Alex, James, Charlotte & Tyler won silver, all showing grit and determination in all their fights.

Team GB, recently went to the 3rd Open TKDSAC Championships & had a spectacular performance. Master Kambiz won a silver in U50 Dan Pair and +31 Dan Team Events for Team GB. Aaron Leith also won a bronze in the 18+ freestyle Poomsae event for Harrogate KTA. To top it all, Overall Team GB came 1st, making them the overall champions at this event, Team GB also secured the Trophies for top Dan Male Poomsae Player and top Dan female Poomsae player.
