The T.A.G.B. is the largest Tae Kwon-Do Association in Britain with over 22,500 members and 500 schools. The advantage of this is that if you move areas, there will be a T.A.G.B. school near where you live. Progress in Tae Kwon-Do in measured by undertaking gradings to achieve a different colour belt. The beginner starts as a white belt, and progresses as shown in the "Belt Progression" table.
New Beginners are welcome at any time, at any of the classes, details in the schools section on the side bar. September is a particularly popular time for new people to start. Just turn up, no need to book, clothing is loose sportswear type clothing and the first lesson is free. Reduced rates are available for families and partners. I know about the added expense when two or more members of the same family train together. I have taught many family groups to Black Belt level over the years.
Specialist Children only classes are taught at all the venues, check for details of your area on the sidebar.
During August some of the classes have been cancelled due to the main holiday period. If you are coming for the first time please phone the Instructor to check that the lesson is on!
There has been a new page created showing students recent successes. It can be found in the student section under "Students Roll of Honour"
Minimum training time in-between gradings up to blue belt is three months. Due to the more advanced syllabus after blue belt, the minimum training time in-between gradings increases to a six month period. A
black belt with at least a seventh dan examines all gradings.
The T.A.G.B. host a considerable tournament calendar which is available to all T.A.G.B. members. A number of foreign competitors also travel to compete in T.A.G.B. tournaments. All expenses are paid for those individuals who make it to the Great Britain Team.
