Congratulations and good luck to students receiving their A level results today! Whatever the day has brought you, as with anything, it's what you make of it that matters!

Special shout out to our very own Isla Palframan , long time Pudsey regular and Dan grade who after achieving her grades is headed to Leeds University to study medicine!

Isla has regularly trained and supported the class through this important year, setting a brilliant example of what hard work and dedication brings! Good luck from all of us Isla! You'll make a brilliant Doctor 🩺👩‍⚕️🏥🥼

*GRADING REMINDER - SAT 4TH JULY*

*If Master Tang or your class instructor has told you that you'll be grading, make sure you get your forms and fees back ASAP throughout this week, if you haven't already!*

Hello everyone! This is going to be an exciting one right on our doorstep!

Typically, midway through and towards the end of the year in Region 2, we hold senior gradings. While not exclusively for higher grades, these gradings are where blue belts test for red, red belts for black, and black belts for subsequent Dan grades. It's an exceptional demonstration of the dedication, hard work and skill that each of you put into your training and shows the level we're confident you can all one day reach!

A handful of our very own from Pudsey, will be joining our other friends and training partners from regional classes, and grading this Saturday.

So please, If you can, take the opportunity to come along, support your classmates, get to know our friends within the region, and see what lies ahead for you as you progress through your martial arts journey. This is a rare opportunity with such ease of access for Pudsey students, so try make the most of it.

Dan grades and seniors, as always, but even more so for these events, please come along ready to support all our budding red, black and senior Dan grades on their big day!

Good luck all! Go steady this week, stay in good form and shape! See you saturday, Tang Soo! 👊

Hi all,

Just a reminder no class this eve for the bank holiday. Enjoy the weather and see you next week

22/05/2026

Wishing the very best of luck to everyone competing in tomorrow's Central Championships in Watford! But of course in particular to our Pudsey and fellow Yorkshire/ Region 2 students.

This is an important, large and challenging competition so remember to represent yourselves, your classes and instructors exactly how you do at training and I know you will do us all proud regardless of the outcome.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, stay safe, look out for each other, have fun, and learn, learn, learn! (In that order). Medals are always nice, it feels good to win and not very good to lose, but how you approach these events and your mindset in them is what makes a true martial artist, not the metal around your neck. That said, we're sure you will all do great.

See you tomorrow,

Tang Soo! 👊

Hello Everyone!

Today is the day, get yourself to training this evening at our new venue!

So, just to remind you all:

-Training will start at 19:00 until 20:30 (going forward)
-Monday Class will now be in line with other classes at £6 per session

From the schools website, the address is:

"Address
Crawshaw Academy

Attached is a map screen shot with some rough directions to give an idea of where we'll be. Car parking available for us is in pink, the gym, I'm told, is where I've placed the Red asterisk 😁 Get there early to give yourselves time to find it, get changed and for us to set up! We look forward to seeing you there!

Tang Soo!

EXCITING NEWS! MONDAY CLASS!

If you train with us or have been following along you'll have seen our updates and milestones of our Monday class, which is now a little over a year old.

We have been very dutifully served and had a great time training out of the church hall at St. James the Great C of E on Galloway Lane in Pudsey! Alas, as our class has since grown from under a dozen regulars to 30+ students, the small hall and 1hr we have just doesn't suffice anymore.

As such, starting next Monday 11-05-2026 we will be moving to a hall at Crawshaw school:

From the schools website:
Crawshaw Academy
Robin Lane
Pudsey
Leeds LS28 9HU

We will be in the school gym (see yellow circle pic 1)

Satnav: For satnav purposes use Raven's Mount, postcode LS28 9HT

Training will now be 1.5hrs rather than 1 and will be going up slightly to £6 per sessions rather than £5 (in line with other classes across the region). Training will also start a little earlier at 19:00 until 20:30.

There are also dedicated changing facilities and showers on sight! By all means, please come along for out grand-reopening!

Tang Soo!

We will post regular reminders up until Monday, but if you have any questions by then which we haven't covered, please get in touch!
