On Friday 22nd May, we had three of our youngest students travel to the Otago University Club in Dunedin, for their first ever national grading. The examiner, Master Hayden Breese VII dan put them through their paces in front of fellow students, family and friends. All three candidates achieved 'A' passes to 9th gup (grade). Their secret weapon - the large family support that came to cheer them on, in most cases travelling some 2 1/2 to 3 hours to be there. We are very proud of them all!!

It was great to have a visit by the Alexandra Venturer Unit on Monday night. Instead of the usual demonstration, we had our visitors have a go at releases from wrist grabs, trying some kicks, participating in parts of a pattern and some pad work. Great job by all the venturers!!

On March 1st the Alexandra Instructor Mark Davies and Mr Dion Bennett (Mosgiel Club) sat and passed their 4th dan in Auckland. The examiners for the grading were Grandmasters Davidson (left) and McPhail (right). Both clubs are extremely proud of their instructors. The grading in Auckland was the culmination of 6 months of hard work, monthly fitness testing and being able to perform on the day. To add some perspective to this achievement, ITKD has only twenty six active 4th dans throughout NZ. Congratulations.

Grand Master James Rimmer IX dan and Master Hayden Breese VII dan took the session/grading component. Thanks to Threshold Taekwon-Do Dunedin for hosting the event. A very enjoyable session with very knowledgeable senior members of ITKD.

Members from the Alex Club attended the annual Mosgiel weekend camp at OYAT Lodge in Berwick the weekend of 21 - 23/11/25.

Guest Instructor was Master Gray Patterson VIII dan from Wellington. Starting on Saturday morning Master Patterson put the students through a dynamic warm up and comprehensive stretching session, then focussed in on the various levels of self defence, from dealing with an annoying person to full on attacks.

The afternoon was spent assisting these who were grading the next day with polishing their syllabus.

Sunday morning saw approximately 25 students of varying grades put through their paces in a comprehensive grading. Alexandra Club had two students who were tested, Paddy McDonough and Ryan Clearwater. Both passed their tests. Mr McDonough promoted to 6th gup and Mr Clearwater promoted to 3rd gup.

A huge thank you goes out to the Mr Dion Bennett and members of the Mosgiel Club for their kind invitation and to Master Patterson for his awesome contribution to a very successful weekend.
