2015 Student of the year
Thirteen year old James Edwards has the honour of being the New Century Taekwon-Do Leek student of the year. Every year a student receives this tittle, it is awarded to someone who has done or given that little bit extra. To earn this award James found that extra bit, it's called passion. This passion shows through whenever he trains and played a big part in his recent promotion to Black belt. James follows eleven year old Emily Wood who also showed that passion, they are an asset to our School and inspire/motivate every class.

Seminar with Master Gayle 8th Degree 14-11-2015
New Century was delighted to have Master Gayle 8th Degree Blackbelt hold a Seminar at our South Normanton School. Master Gayle (Chairman of P.U.M.A.) during a 3 hour Seminar covered some of the technical aspects of patterns and sparring to an audience of over 80 students. A most enjoyable day.
