On Saturday, February 8, Oakridge Taekwon-Do promoted 5 students to 1st degree black belt and 1 student to 2nd degree black belt. The test was conducted by ITF-TAO Technical Director Mr. Mike Morningstar and assisted by Oakridge Taekwon-Do Head Instructor Mrs. Cathy Hadubiak. This was the first ever black belt promotion test at Oakridge TKD. The 4 hour examination began with a physical test of 5 minutes of skipping, 30 push-ups, 30 sit-ups and 10 berpies. The actual test was divided into 5 categories: patterns and fundamental movements, self-defense, sparring (which included 3 & 1-step sparring & model sparring), breaking and theory (a written test was completed by all candidates prior to this date). Congratulations on your promotions and good work promoting Taekwon-Do in the City of London.
