From Alan Taylor
What a journey- at the age of 16 I started training in the martial art called Goyararu - now known as Tetsudo. In July of 1985 I was one of a group of 4 people who attained the rank of Black Belt. After an absence from training of over 35 years, I recommended training in January 2024.
Last night (Friday 4th July 2025) we celebrated the 40th anniversary of being awarded our Blackbelts.
Anyone interested in training in the noble martial art of Tetsudo- sessions are held on Monday evenings at Burton on Trent’s Meadowside sports centre, 7-30pm to 8.30pm.
Your first lesson is free.

Please join us in congratulating Senior Ustads Glen Francis, Martin Price, Phil Freeman and Alan Taylor who celebrated their 40th Blackbelt Anniversary. What an amazing achievement and journey they have been on since receiving the coveted rank in July 1985.

Mr Dhaliwal paid special tribute and gave a personal ‘Thank You’ to these wonderful people for their friendship and loyalty, having supported the Art Form and the Association throughout 4 very vibrant decades.

These Noble Ustads occupy a very special place in the collective history of the Association.

Also on this evening, after an absence due to work and life obligations, and having recommenced his training over 18 months ago, Ustad Alan Taylor was reinstated to his blackbelt Status - well done and many congratulations to Ustad Alan Taylor!
