Elvin was not in class tonight so will pick up his award next week.

What a fantstic 6 months or so Elvin has had.

Elvin earned this award for excellent progress in hyung.

I am very pleased that Elvin is training at my club with his son, both have made many new friends and both are really enjoying the black belt journey together.

Elvin is one of our newer students and has been training at my club for around 6 months or so. He absolutely loved his first class and every class after and both Elvin and his son couldn't wait to join.

In the summer Elvin graded at a very good standard no mistakes earning him his 9th Geup (Yellow belt).

Elvin gives 100% effort every single week and loves everything he is being taught and the journey he is on.

He is getting to grips with the Hyung (Forms) and movements and is well on course for his next grading in December. He has vastly improved in all areas and he is now moving like a good Soo Bahk Do practitioner. 

Elvin has got very good power in his kicks and has picked up the kicking techniques very well with full use of the hip (Huri). He has a real nice snap on the end of each kick and enjoys practicing when kicking the shields.

He loves the Hyung (Forms) part of class and really enjoys the intricate parts of the movements. Elvin also loves learning and understanding why we move how we do. 

Elvin fully understands how Soo Bahk Do can change your life for the better and carries this with him outside the Dojang too.

Elvin loves sparring with different partners and is learning to move the Soo Bahk Do way.

This guy is definitely one to watch and destined for great things at our club.

I am very much looking forward to seeing how Elvin progresses over the coming months and teaching him on the rest of his black belt journey and beyond.

Keep up the great work Elvin I am very very proud of you.

We started with a good stretch and warm up, followed by sparring.

Our class theme tonight was :- Self Control

We spoke about self control in martial arts also life in general.  What we say and what we do in a certain situation. Not doing anything permanently stupid just because you are temporarily upset.

After our class theme discussion we then moved into some movement and Hyung (Forms) and Ho Sin Sool (Self Defence).

Closing off strongly with a group effort of lots of sit up's we had a excellent class.

Our senior class was great tonight working on sparring and syllabus material.

Someone will receive a student of the week award next class.

Keep up the great work everyone.

Soo Bahk !!!

👊
