There is nothing to do in Banstead, it’s boring!
That’s true, so it seems. Now, Banstead appears to be a nice place however each Friday evening when I travel through the high street along to the car park at The Horseshoe in time to teach the 7pm TaeKwon-Do class I see various groups and individuals that look bored.

Banstead TaeKwon-Do 1st Grading & Results
My TaeKwon-Do students seemed a little nervous on Sunday December 13th which was understandable seeing as they were about to sit their first ITF TaeKwon-Do grading in front of Mr R.

More home training
I can’t believe a week has gone by so quickly and I haven’t blogged about training at all. Well I definitely trained last Thursday and Friday, had Saturday off and trained Sunday – I can’t quite remember what I did on those days but Tuesday just gone went a lot like this: Joint mobility warmup [...]
Tuesday home training
I managed about 30 minutes of strength work last night in between children’s bed time and dinner, it went a little something like this:
