New Wave instructors spend between 4-6 weeks, leading up to MSS’s, to prepare students for them. To be at their best, it is important that students do not miss any sessions leading up to to MSS’s.
At each MSS, instructors look to see the progress achieved by students in their ability to spar. Student’s MUST achieve a level of ability in sparring, as required by instructors, in order to grade for Green Belt and each grade thereafter!! It is for this reason that Mass Sparring Sessions remain compulsory for students Orange Belt/ Green tag and above.
Note: Although, MSS’s are compulsory for students Orange Belt/ Green tag and above, lower grade students are invited to attend at Instructors discretion.

New Wave instructors use between 4-6 weeks, leading up to MSS’s, to prepare for them. It is important that students, not only, attend all four MSS’s throughout the year, but that they do not miss sessions leading up to them, as doing so can severely affect their performance on the day.

The Taekwondo & Hapkido syllabuses are not static. New Wave instructors are constantly refining them to aid the progress of students. As has become our custom, we will use the first Camp of the year to lay down the foundation for what is required for students to progress throughout the year. In recent years the club has put a greater emphasis on: rolls, breakfalls, wrist locks, throws, in essence, self-defence. This camp will take the opportunity to cover all aspects of the New Wave syllabus.
CAMPS ARE EXTREAMLY POPULAR, HOWEVER SPACES ARE LIMITED, TO AVOID DISAPOINTMENT, BOOK EARLY!!.
