TAE KWON-DO CLASSES IN SOUTHAM... THEY’RE WORLD CLASS! Southam Tae Kwon-Do started in the 1990’s by Bill and Nicky Line who are both 5th Dan black belts and have over 25 years experience each. The club is part of the Tae Kwon-Do Association of Great Britain (TAGB) which is part of the British Tae Kwon-Do Council (BTC). All instructors are DBS (CRB) checked and fully insured. Bill is also an international referee and Nicky is 4x and current World and European Sparring Champion and won best fighter in the TAGB in 2012. Tae Kwon-Do is a martial art that originated in South Korea and was taught to the national army as a means of self defence. It literally translates as the way of the foot and the hand meaning kicks and hand attacks feature heavily in lessons as well as self defence techniques. The club meet every Tuesday and Thursday at Southam College from 7-8pm and on Fridays at Southam Leisure Centre also from 7-8pm for a sparring only session. We have students of all ages and abilities and also have several families who train with us. We are lucky in that we have other black belt students who are present during lessons so that we can teach people as one whole class but then split them into smaller groups when necessary to allow more dedicated tuition. Tae Kwon-Do is good for a whole body workout and training in Tae Kwon-Do brings about a whole host of benefits including increased fitness, flexibility, self confidence, discipline and knowledge of self defence. Our students are all ages and abilities and you don’t have to have a great level of fitness to start! Lessons can be catered to your needs but you will find that regular training will improve your fitness immensely. Lessons generally focus on line work – blocks, attacks and patterns, as well as working with partners on self defence techniques. We also do free sparring for those who are interested and on Fridays dedicate the whole session to free sparring so there is
always something within the session that will interest you! We have several students who have competed nationally and internationally with some great success. Beginners are always welcome and can join at any time. We train throughout the school holidays too (apart from Christmas) so if you have any questions please call either Bill or Nicky or come along and see us at one of our sessions. The first lesson is free so come and try it out!

THIS MONTH’S
MUST READ NOVEL
R
obert Cubitt is a local author who has just completed his third major novel. Entitled “The Girl I Left Behind Me” it tells the intertwining stories of soldier, Lofty Lofthouse, his wife Emma, Youssef, a British born fighter in the Taliban and his fiancé Fatima. As the story unfolds in both Britain and Afghanistan the lives of all four of the characters are affected in different ways. Emma suffers the loneliness of being a wife left behind to worry about her husband. Fatima fears for the changes she sees in her beloved Youssef, traumatised by the death of his family in a tragic accident of war. Caught up in a war they had no part in creating both Lofty and Youssef are forced to confront their beliefs and see the world in new ways. The author describes the dangers that Lofty and Youssef both face and the fears and emotions that are felt by the girls they left behind them. The war affects all of them in different ways and none of them will ever be the same again.
