(Petition sign request post)
Kids whoโve dedicated and continue to dedicate so much of their time training in Taekwon-Do and other martial arts should be able to choose this as an activity in their PE (GCSE or A-Level) course at school. They used to be able to but it was removed. This puts them at a huge disadvantage to others despite in some cases already being accomplished athletes..
It was a pain for me when I was younger at that stage, and itโs a pain now trying to guide them through it.
A bunch of instructors are supporting a petition so please could those reading this give it a quick sign? (Requires an email confirmation step)

Feel free to share if itโs also something you care about ๐

Martial Arts is a popular sport for children. Yet dedicated, passionate, talented students can no longer use them for GCSE. I think Martial Arts are wholly inclusive, appeal to all genders, all ethnic backgrounds and children with SEN. They can help promote fitness, self-discipline and respect.
