Nothing too onerous, but some general reminders and FAQ for existing members (newcomers - if you have questions please feel free to contact us and we'll put together an FAQ page)
Joining the club (or just attending a class)
Please print and complete the appropriate membership forms below before taking part in a first class - it doesn't commit you to anything but it is important that we know who is attending and have the appropriate details to ensure the welfare & safety of all people taking part in a class.

This is the form to complete for juniors
|
And this is the form for adults (obviously without the "guardians permission" section)
|
If you then decide to join the club and attend on a regular basis, we'll ask you to complete the British Taekwondo form below to register you as a student and to cover your insurance.
Equipment
Students trying taekwondo for the first few times are not expected to buy a uniform, but can attend in comfortable loose fitting clothing (typically track suit pants and a t-shirt). Once you're ready to take it further, a dobok or uniform will be more comfortable and harder wearing. We are more than happy to help you get the correct size and the style of uniform (different martial arts styles use slightly different uniforms).
All students Green-tag and above will need the full set protective equipment – please contact us for more information or to place an order.
And please remember to bring it to training - we won't use it every week, but if you've got it, bring it.

British Taekwondo Insurance
We collect the annual British Taekwondo insurance forms in at the beginning of the term before it is due so that you do not incur a late renewal fee – if you receive an email from British Taekwondo regarding your renewal please do not be concerned as this is an automated reminder email sent out to all members.
Please try and keep your British Taekwondo book safe – it gets handed in for gradings and returned to you with the grading certificate. If you have lost the white book – please email me – British Taekwondo charge £5 for replacement licence books.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
British Taekwondo is in the process of establishing an online membership HUB but at the moment it still has some problems – there is a ‘blanket’ insurance cover for all students whilst this is being worked on. For the moment please can everyone continue to complete and hand-in the insurance forms and hopefully this will be sorted by January/February and we will keep you updated.
Grading
Only students reaching the required standard will be put forward for each grading examination – dates will be published here and invitations will generally be emailed out 1-2 weeks before the grading date.
Please do not expect to be invited to every grading - it is better that you are secure in your current grade, and we will invite you to grade when we are confident that you will be able to succeed.
Students going for Green-Tag and above must have the protective equipment for the grading exam.
The curriculum and details of what is required for each grade can be found in the green book that you should have received when you first joined.
Grading Certificates
Please keep these safely somewhere - when you reach your 1st Dan grading (Black Belt) you will need to produce all these certificates to prove your grading up to that point. Certificates are issued by British Taekwondo and individually numbered.
If you should have trouble finding yours, please get in touch ASAP.
