Tae Kwon Do instructor becomes first female 7th DanAnnabel has gone down in TAGB history as the first female to reach World Master level as well as the youngest. This is made all the more special as the TAGB does not allow double grades or fast tracking through the grading system, therefore it is a minimum training time of 31 years that is if you pass every grading on time.
Murcott Said: “This has been an amazing end to the year, winning a World Championship Medal is an amazing feeling, but to be honoured like this by the whole TAGB committee and people I look up to, is truly humbling. |
