Who Is Katie Bradley WTF Taekwondo Student?

2011 BRITISH NATIONAL CHAMPION
(female cadets -41kgs)

Hello!

My name is Katie Bradley and I am 14 years old. I was born in Crawley but I have lived in Plymouth for about 9 years as that is where my dad comes from and where my grandparents also live. I live with my dad, my brother, my sister, our guinea pig 'snowy', our lovebird 'peaches' and our four chickens! I go to Plymouth High School for Girls and am in year 9.

My main 'hobby' is Taekwondo - I train and compete in WTF (Olympic Style) Taekwondo. I have been doing taekwondo since I was 7 years old and I have been doing competitions since I was about 8. I am a 2nd Dan Blackbelt and the 2011 NATIONAL CHAMPION Female Cadets -41kgs :)

I train with South Hams Taekwondo in Plymouth and Ivybridge and I train Sundays (when we are not at competitions), Mondays, Tuesday and Thursday - if my club trained more days I probably would I LOVE TAEKWONDO!

This lens is going to be all about me and my taekwondo and I hope you find it interesting - my dad will help me to try and make it interesting.

Companies, People & Charities that have helped me :)

Competing in Taekwondo can cost a lot of money, especially now that I am a Junior and eligible to compete in A-Class competitions all over Europe and the world; with Entry fees from £40, hotel expenses, flights, car fuel, Eurotunnel etc.

There are also the costs of equipment but these don't tend to be too often because equipment lasts a good time if you look after it :)

I'm going to make a thank you list on this page for people and companies who have helped me in any way - there is no 'I' in 'TEAM' xx

Dickie Bird Foundation - Grant for Clothing & Equipment
Plymouth High School for Girls - Allsortz Grant for Training Fees

Dickie Bird Foundation

Thanks Dickie! xxIn 2009 the Dickie Bird Foundation were very helpful and gave me a grant of about £350 to buy new sparring and protection equipment and new doboks (uniforms).

"The vision of the Foundation is to assist young people under 18 years of age to participate, to the best of their ability, in the sport of their choice irrespective of their social circumstances, culture or ethnicity and to ensure that, in doing so, they improve their chances both inside and outside sport"
