Scottish Taekwon-Do Federation...Dundee Wildcats

Dear Student, Parent, Guardian,

I am writing to inform you that I have with immediate effect resigned from the Global Taekwon-Do Federation and I have formed my own Federation. We are now entitled the Scottish Taekwon-Do Federation and we are an Independent Taekwon-Do School.

This move will in no way affect your training and you may if you wish remain with the G.T.F. Scotland.

As of now the cost of Licences, Colour Belt and Blackbelt Gradings will be reduced markedly.

The Licence fee will be reduced from £35.00p to £25.00p for all students.

Grading fees will be as follows.

Rainbows reduced from £30.00p to £20.00p.

Moongrades reduced from £30.00p to £22.50p.

Juniors and Adults reduced from £30.00p to £25.00p.

Training fees will remain unchanged.

If you have any questions regarding any aspect of this please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.

Yours sincerely

Gerry Cahill 4th Degree International Instructor
