TaeKwon-Do Black Belt for William

Congratulations to William S (Year 11) who successfully achieved his 1st Degree Black Belt in TaeKwon-Do, the Korean military martial art.  

This milestone is especially meaningful, as William has faced several challenges over the past six months. Rather than becoming disheartened, he chose to embody the true spirit and tenets of TaeKwon-Do: Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, and Indomitable Spirit. 

William was tested on various TaeKwon-Do patterns, including his grade pattern, sparring (intense close-contact fighting), linework, theory, and vocabulary learning in Korean. 

William began his TaeKwon-Do journey in 2015 at an LCS afterschool club. After a decade of consistent and dedicated training, he has now truly earned his Black Belt.
