Awesome job by Elise our student of the week for the week of 17-6-26.

Very well deserved.

Iv'e had to use an older pic as Elise was not in class tonight so will pick up her award next week.

Elise earned this award for excellent progress in IL Soo Sik Dae Ryun (One Step Sparring).

Elise trains with her younger sister and both young ladies are turning into fantastic practitioners. It’s great seeing them training together on the same great path and both enjoying the black belt journey together.

This young lady is someones journey I am very excited about indeed because I know how much natural potential she has. 

I believe in her 100%,  she is absolutely awesome. So much potential and yet so humble with it. Elise has an excellent manner inside and outside of class.

The difference from her first class to now is phenomenal.  Not just as a martial arts practitioner but also in herself as a person. The confidence is coming through and I can see excellent signs of a very good practitioner in the making.

This is what I love about being an instructor. Seeing students like Elise progress from not much confidence, very shy and then see them evolving over time and lots of practice into a fantastic practitioner.

Elise graded just before christmas, no mistakes and did a fantastic job earning her Orange belt. The progress she is making is excellent.

Elise has a photographic memory and does very well picking up new syllabus material and the techniques.

Elise gives 100% effort and concentration every class and also loves sparring. I can see improvements every single week and the stances and movements are looking very good also.

I couldn't be happier or ask for anymore. Im so pleased she is getting rewarded for all her hard work.

Watch this space because Elise really is one to watch. She will 100% be a star at my club.

Keep up the great work Elise I am very proud of you young lady.

In our family class we had a good stretch and some kicking techniques.

We then moved into some sparring with lots of effort and some good techniques being used. The energy in class was amazing tonight.

Our class theme tonight was:- Concentration

The action or power of focusing all ones attention.

We discussed our class theme and why concentration is so important in our martial art and our everyday lives.

We then moved into lots of syllabus material, Hyung (Forms), Ho Sin Sool (Self Defence) and Il Soo Sik Dae Ryun (One Step Sparring).

Closing off strongly with a group effort of lots of sit ups, we had a excellent class.

Our senior class was great, working hard on technique and syllabus material.

Keep up the great work everyone.



Soo Bahk !!!
