Name: Steven Newit

Current Grade: 1st Dan (December 2011)

Training Club: Streetly – Walmley – Four Oaks

TKD Achievements:
My attendance has been ultra-high in all classes for over four years. Training with my son, Jack, has been a real pleasure. I was also proud to see my daughter, Abigail, pass a grading, and my wife, Pauline, is a green belt.

I do the website and write all our articles for the newspapers.

I've won a few fights in tournaments at Windsor though I think the ones I lost taught me most about myself. It takes bravery to walk into a fight knowing you'll get battered.

Winning one is fantastic, too, of course. (Click a picture to see!)

I've got a gold and a silver medal from Bytomic and five trophies from Suttontkd including 'Outstanding contribution at Streetly Club', and 'Student of the Year Dec 2011'. It's nice to know that someone thought well of me.

In the 1920s, my father was a boxer called Jack and I named my son after him. Our fighting family tradition remains alive and well thanks to Anna, Richard, and Sutton Schools of Tae Kwon-Do.
