Training Fees
Can all students/parents who pay their fees by cash please put it in an envelope with their name, grade and amount written clearly on the front as this makes it easier to deal with on payment day. Also, can students/parents
make sure that they get their payment cards stamped when fees are paid - sometimes mistakes can happen and this is your proof of payment.
If you take a break (holiday etc) that training fees are still due and should be paid as normal.
You can make up your missed lessons by training extra hours when you come back or make up the missed hours by training at any one of Mr Freer’s clubs instead.
Remember, missed lessons will jeopardise your grading!
Grand Master C-K Choi is one of the original pioneers of Tae Kwon-Do. Now in his 70s, he is travelling over from Canada to hold seminars all over the UK for the last time.
These special seminars are to be held throughout the UK in February and March. If you're interested in attending then please see your instructor for more details about the specific dates and venues.
Alternatively, book online at the TAGB website.
Who is C-K Choi?
