Latest news

Dear Students and Parents,

Please note that from 1st January 2026 all training fees must be paid into the new account only.

The previous Kenilworth and Rugby accounts will be closed on Monday.

Please change your standing order immediately to ensure your training continues with Pat Carter Schools of Tae Kwon Do.

New Payment Details (Effective Immediately)

Name: PAT CARTER SCHOOLS OF TAE KWON DO

Bank: Santander UK

Account Number: 87774472

Sort Code: 09-01-27

Please ensure you use the student’s name as the payment reference so I can confirm your payment on the 1st of each month.

If you have any issues, please contact me.

Training Fees (from 1st January 2026)

• Once per week: £39.00 per calendar month
  Please update your standing order to reflect this amount.

If you wish to move to twice per week training to stay on track with grading, please make this change by 1st January 2026. The club is growing, and spaces may not be available later.

Grading Information – Important Reminder

This is to clarify why some students were unable to grade recently:

• Training once a week may result in double the grading time frame.

• From blue belt and above, grading intervals are:
  

• 6 months if training twice weekly

• 12 months if training once weekly

• Lower grades also require consistent attendance throughout the entire grading period.

• You cannot train once a week and then switch to twice a week a month or two before grading to qualify.

Standards and Expectations

Thank you for your continued support.

Pat Carter Schools of TKD maintains high discipline and correct practice. Other clubs may operate differently, but we aim to be the best.

Black Belt & Advanced Classes

• New Dan grades: Excellent work—keep pushing.

• Red belts and black tags: You need to increase effort and maintain 100% attendance.
  If the class becomes too challenging, I may move you back to the middle class so spaces are available for those ready to progress.

This is a strong and positive place within the club, and together we will continue to strive for excellence.

Upcoming Gradings

Good luck to everyone grading next week.

Tigers (Monday): Please show me clearly that you can perform what is required.

If you are still struggling, we will pause grading and focus again in March 2026.No stress and being happy is more important than struggling through.

Thank you,

Pat Carter

🎄 Christmas Party Reminder 🎄

Hi everyone!

Hope you’re all doing well — shame about the rain!

Just a polite reminder about our Christmas Party at the Railway Club on Saturday, 13th December 2025, from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm.

This event is open to all students and their families.

New students who haven’t been before — please speak to me as soon as possible, as tickets are selling fast!

🌟 What’s Included:

🎁 Selection box on arrival for all children aged 15 and under

🍽️ All your food provided

🎶 Disco and party games, including:

• Limbo

• Best dancer

• Dress the mummy

• And of course… “Which parent shall we pick on this year?” 😄

🏆 Lots of prizes to be won!

🎟️ Raffle:

Raffle tickets will be sold on the night, and all money raised will be donated to charity.

Last year, we supported Houlton School by providing new books for their library, as some of our students train there.

This year, we’ll again be supporting a local cause, so every ticket really helps!

We’re also asking for raffle prize donations — if you’re able to give something, please hand it in to Ivy’s mum as soon as possible so we can see how we’re doing.

🏅 Awards:

There will be special awards for Student of the Year and Most Improved.

It’ll be a tough decision — so many of you have worked incredibly hard this year!

But we can’t give out 30 awards… it wouldn’t mean quite the same.

I still expect all seniors to attend — we’re one family, and this is a great chance to celebrate together.

Thank you all,

World Master Carter, 8th Dan

Latest news as of 14/10/2025

Hi all, hope you’re doing well!

Firstly, well done to everyone for your efforts over the last few weeks — you’re all stepping up and pushing to be the best you can be.

To those working towards your Black Belts, Star Grades, and 2nd Dans, we’re now peaking — so keep that momentum going as we push for the prize!

⚠️ Important – Last Pre-Grade This Saturday
• Please do not be late.
• Grand Master will be taking this final session.
• I’ll be there supporting you all the way.
• Star Grades: You’ll do your pre-grade first, followed by your star grading. Please note you still need to pay for your pre-grade separately.

🔴 Red Belts, Black Tags & Black Belts

If you want to grade, you must attend the pre-grade like everyone else.

❌ If you don’t attend (as per TAGB rules), you’ll miss the next grading and will have to wait twice as long to grade again.

📅 All dates were shared last December, so please check those and plan accordingly.

🏆 British Championships – Last Comp of the Year

Don’t forget to get your entries in! Let’s get some teams in for patterns and tag teams. It’ll be a great event to finish the year strong.

📚 Private Sessions

If you’re struggling with anything, now is the time to book a private. You may only need one or two sessions to tidy up those last details and really stand out.

🎄 Family Christmas Party – Railway Club

It’s going really well as always. Please remember this is all for the club, and you all come first, so your support means everything.

🙏 A lot of behind-the-scenes work goes into this — both before and after the event.

📚 Last year’s raffle supported Houlton Primary School to help them get new books — let’s do more good this year too!

🥋 Seminar & Thank You

Thank you to those who supported the recent seminar training session — your support is very much appreciated.

Thanks also for the belts, book, and balloons (yes, lol). You know me — I don’t like the spotlight. It’s not about me, it’s about you all being your best. I’ve been there, done it — now it’s club first.

📸 Photos & videos will be released after the British Champs once I receive my award — so please, no social media posts until then.

💥 New Club Plans

💫 Demo Team & P4 Squad – Applications Opening Soon!

I’ll be adding a page to the website shop for those interested in joining the P4 Squad or the Demo Team.
• You’ll be able to apply directly online.
• There will also be a questionnaire to complete.

This will help make sure you’re ready and confident. Questions will include:
• Are all your stances on point?
• Can you confidently perform all your three-step sparring?
• Are you solid in two-step and all your patterns up to your current grade?

You need to be confident, committed, and ready to train to perform.

🔥 Demo Team – Tricks & Skills Training

We’ll be training for demo performances including:
• Jump spin kick break
• Pattern to music
• Flying kick over students
• Double break in the air
• Blindfolded spin kick & back kick

This is just the tip of the iceberg — the talent is already here, now it’s time to step it up.

🥇 Monthly Squad Training (Coming Soon)

We’re planning a monthly squad training session focused on competition:
• Patterns
• Sparring

This gives everyone a chance to level up, improve results, and rise to the top.

💬 You have to do the extras to be the best.

Everyone is welcome, but you’ve got to be on it.
Thanks for reading to the end — not everyone does, and then they miss out!
Let’s finish this year strong — proud of you all.
Mr. Carter

Dear Students,

Just a quick note to say how incredibly proud I was of you all during grading yesterday. There were a few mistakes here and there—but that’s life. You should all be proud of yourselves; it takes real confidence to get up there and perform in front of everyone.

Well done to Anjali’s students too—you made her proud! 👊🏾👍

I just want to take a moment to celebrate the amazing results from our team who participated in the competition! There were so many events to take part in, and as I’ve always said, to be the best, you’ve got to compete.

The results were outstanding, and I couldn’t be prouder of everyone who took part. A huge congratulations to Ivy Cook, Anya Parmar, Oliver Marak, Ruby Storer, and Leoni A team you all did an incredible job.

From team patterns to flying kicks, sparring, tag team sparring, and individual patterns, you gave it your all. I’m so proud of you all – my ‘nagging’ and strictness paid off!

Well done once again. What more can I say? Just Boom – so, so good!
