| My name is George Goulding and I
have been training in Taekwondo since 1980, when after watching a demonstration
at the Redditch school, the power of this martial art really caught my eye.
I had been training for several years in Wado Rye Karate where destruction
and power were only something that grand master could perform but in this
demonstration 1st and 2nd dans were destroying bricks, wood and tiles like
it was an every day event- Brilliant I had to try it. And today I still think its the best Martial art around. I have seen many others and they all have good points but overall I think TAGB Taekwondo is still the best for students of all ages. |

Children
They really are the future in Taekwondo and life in general. At
Evesham they train mostly in mixed classes with the adults. |

So try it I did. Under the Instruction
of Mr D Atkins I started training in March 1980. three and a half
years later I took my first degree Black belt. this was to be in the
first Black belt grading by the newly formed TAGB. Achieving my second
Dan in 1988. I started training quite late, and really wish I had
found Taekwondo earlier in life. So I guess grading are not so important
to me. |

Competitions
I tried a few but my style of fighting was not really suited to the
competition arena, plus I started training in Taekwondo a late in life for competitions

EVESHAM SCHOOL OF TAE KWON DO
I started the school at Evesham in March 1991, since then we have
had many students pass through our doors. Many have achieved their
Black belts and some gone further and achieved their second and their third
dans. Several of our ex students are now running their own Schools. Even the students that we loose along the way I still like
to feel they have learnt things about themselves that they didn't
know and we have helped them develop their confidence and self believe
along the way.

Self Defense
All Taekwondo is self defence I believe that every martial artist should
be able to protect themselves in the gym and on the street- and therefore
I teach realistic self defence techniques to all my students |
