Huge congratulations to Maddie, who has officially earned her Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do after an incredible five-hour grading session!
The test was no small feat - Maddie completed continuous patterns, set sparring, and board breaking (smashing through a wooden board and two whiteboards!), before taking on sparring rounds that even saw her face two opponents at once! She finished with her spirit test, showing true determination and resilience right to the end. Maddie has collected her official belt and attended a presentation meal following her success.
We’re all so proud of Maddie’s hard work, perseverance, and indomitable Tae Kwon Do spirit - a fantastic achievement and an inspiration to everyone!
