Talin direction
The frosty morning of 11th January attracted a huge number of people from the Czech Taekwon-do ITF Federation to the hall of Sportcentrum in Brandýs nad Labem.

Almost 60 higher belts
On Thursday, February 6, nearly 60 selected members of Sonkal took the tatami at the Vybíralova Primary School to take the exam for higher technical levels. In the previous weeks, rehearsals were held in the individual gyms so that everything could culminate in the official exam.

It's not winter, but taekwondo is full
The turn of January and February should be accompanied by winter weather and the proverbial saying goes - February is white, the fields are growing stronger.
