what's on
As well as our weekly classes we have so much more to offer our students at Odyssey. From competitions to gradings and seasonal parties to local events, there is always a full calendar of events for the whole family to join in with.
GRADINGS
- SETTING AND ACHIEVING GOALS
- LEARNING PERSERVERENCE
- DEVELOPS FOCUS AND CONCENTRATION
Grading is a physical examination that martial artists need to take to attain their next belts and progress through the school.
These gradings are an excellent way for our pupils to demonstrate the techniques and etiquette that we work on at our weekly classes. Our first grading took place on the 7th of May and was a hugely successful event for our club as parents and family members all watched a display of courage and skill by the candidates.
Our next Tae kwon-Do grading will be held on the 18th June 2022.
We will be attending the next GMS Open Championships in October 2022 and are currently preparing our students for this competition.

SOCIAL EVENTS

- ENCOURAGES FRIENDSHIPS WITHIN THE CLUB
We love a party at Odyssey and we always look to add extra events throughout the year on top of our weekly classes.
We regularly hold Christmas, Halloween and Birthday Parties and we continually have challenges running throughout the year for our students to take part in.
We care about our students as a whole – not just how they are in class so we always want to hear about your achievements at school and at home. The first thing we ask our students at class is ‘How was your day?’
