On 30 January 2012, 27 members of the Baltic Barracks Taekwondo Club (BBTC) participated in their first belt promotion event.

 

21 kids and 6 adults from six different nations took part in this special test. Following the World Taekwondo Federation regulations, all participants had to perform special tasks they had been preparing themselves for the last four months. All in all, after 45 minutes of punching, kicking, jumping and yelling, they all passed their first test with bravura and received the first new belt from the Taekwondo Master Michael Larsen.
