Recently upgraded to blue belt 4th Kup in Tae Kwon-do, Trevor Bean is pictured with his daughters, 11-year-old Jordan, promoted to green stripe 7th Kup, and 10-year-old Jamie, who gained yellow belt 8th Kup at the same grading at the King’s School Tae Kwon-do Club.
Trevor has been training with the club for a year and a half and his two daughters started shortly after.
Trevor said: “We all enjoy the mixture of fitness, self-defence, sparring and socialising and meeting other families during training. It gives me comfort knowing my girls are learning self-defence and they will have these skills when they’re older.”
The club grading was held under the guidance of seventh degree black belt grandmaster David Oliver and supervised by club instructor Malcolm Scholes.
