Awesome job by Bella-Rose our student of the month for March 2025.

 

Very well deserved.

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

I am very pleased that Bella-Rose is training at my club with her older Sister. Both have made many new friends and really enjoying the black belt journey together. 

Bella-Rose has been making huge progress in her IL Soo Sik Dae Ryun (One Step Sparring) and thoroughly deserves this award.

Through her training Bella-Rose has become a very humble young lady and often assists lower ranking students showing them the Soo Bahk Do way and explaining things very well. Many of our younger students look up to Bella-Rose and it's easy to see why, she is a great youth leader and role model at our club and excellent Soo Bahk Do practitioner. This young lady has legendary status at our club.

Bella-Rose has grown so much in herself and as a person and character since joinging our club. From a very shy small girl to a confident but not cocky young lady, which is exactly the attitude we try to achieve. Learning to be humble starts on the very first day of joining our club.

Since earning her Green belt, Bella-Rose and her sister both joined our senior class and this has been a huge boost and learning curve for both of them. I cannot begin to tell you how much progress both young ladies are currently making. With the extra class great results are truly being achieved. Watch this space. They are both doing so so well.

At her last grading Bella-Rose reached her Red belt so is now on the home straight to Cho Dan (Black Belt). Two more tags to earn on her Red belt then she will be up for her Cho Dan grading and I know she will make an excellent Cho Dan Candidate.

This young lady is a real power house she has fantastic power in her Kicks and punches and good technique. 

If I look back on that first day when Bella-Rose walked through the door and compare her to now, the transformation and journey is an amazing one.

I often talk in class about the path we are on as Soo Bahk Do practitioners and our journey. If the path is kept on, it offers great reward inside and outside the dojang and in our every day lives. It brings out the best version of ourselves. It’s also about who we become on that journey as Bella-Rose is finding out.

I always say in class if you find your passion, you will find your purpose. I truly believe Bella-Rose has found hers.

 

I am really looking forward to teaching and seeing Bella-Rose progress on the rest of her black belt journey and beyond.

 

This young lady really is on the rise and is definitely one to watch, she is truly destined for great things at our club.

Remember the name and watch this space.

 

Well done Bella-Rose keep it up. I am very very proud of you young lady. 👊

Our family class was great.

 

We started with some movement and then a good warm up and then moved into sparring.

 

Our class theme tonight was one of my favourites:- Power

The ability to generate force quickly and effectively, often involving the co-ordinated use of strength, speed and technique to deliver impactful strikes.

 

We discussed our class theme and why Power is so important in our training and learning how to use it correctly. With great power comes great responsibility.

Following our class theme we moved into kicking techniques on the shields and Hyung (Forms).

We then moved into 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 great class.

Our senior class was great, working hard on Hyung (Forms) and Ho Sin Sool (Self Defence) also IL Soo Sik Dae Ryun (One Step Sparring).

Someone from tonight will be getting a student of the week award next week.

 

Keep up the great work everyone.

 

Soo Bahk !!!

👊
