Tigers & Dragons Summer Grading
Congratulations to all the children on Senior Master Howard’s Tigers and Dragons programmes who were successful at the recent summer grading at St Joseph’s, Navan Road, Dublin 7.
It was a busy day for the children from all around Dublin (Blanchardstown, Cabra, Castleknock, Drumcondra, Finglas, Navan road, Prussia St, Phibsborough) who travelled to our Taekwon-Do school for their big test.
The examiner on the day was Senior Master Howard and was assisted by Mr Wilson, Mr Malone, Mr Brady and Ms McCormack (from Dublin NE). The children really raised their game on the day and SM Howard complimented them (and their parents) for all their obvious preparation for the test. He also encouraged them to keep stretching over the summer holidays now that they have more free time.
Special congratulations to our grading award and student of the year recipients. Click Here for photos

Grading for Tigers and Dragons
Sunday 12th June 2016
The final event in the Tigers and Dragons Taekwon-Do development programme for the year is their grading for their stripe or new belt. The grading will be held on Sunday the 12th of June in St Joseph’s School for the Deaf, Navan Road, Dublin 7. The grading times are arranged according to the class group and are shown below.
Please give Master Howard photograph, licence etc by Saturday the 28th of May?
All Tigers and Dragons should have received a sheet with everything they need to know for the exam. They will need to be able to perform the physical aspects of the test and know all their Korean words, goals and the code. Parents please help them to do a little bit of practice every evening. These sheet are also available in the members area of this site.
Grading times
10-11-30am - Saturday morning Tigers class
11.45 am – 1.15pm - Tuesday evening Tigers class
2.00 pm – 3.30pm - Friday afternoon Tigers class
3.30 – 5.00 pm - All Dragons
Please note the following
Wear a clean ironed dobok for your test. Only wear a white t-shirt or vest underneath (no colours).
Arrive 10 minutes early.
As this is an exam you will need to be quiet while the other children are being examined. It may not be suitable to bring younger siblings to the exam as they will be expected to sit still and be quiet for a long time.
Finally, classes will continue until Friday 24th June.
Please contact Master Howard if you have any questions
