Student Of The Week
ππ πOctober 2026 Student of the Month: Sonny πππ
Huge congratulations to Sonny, our Student of the Month for October 2026!
This recognition is incredibly well-deserved.
Sonny has earned a fully engraved award in recognition of his excellent all-round progress and dedication.
He is developing into a fantastic martial arts practitioner, and we are incredibly proud to have him training at our club. Since walking through our doors a few years ago, he has integrated seamlessly into our martial arts family, made great friends, and embraced his black belt journey with outstanding commitment.
Having achieved his green belt this past summer with a flawless grading performance, Sonny has transitioned into the senior class. His learning curve continues to climb sharply. He approaches every session with high energy, consistently giving 100% effort and concentration, especially during our fast-paced warm-ups and exercises.
Sonny brings great power and movement to his sparring and shows a true passion for Ho Sin Sool (Self-Defence). As a fast learner, he is never afraid to ask questions to master new syllabus work, kicking techniques, and hip movements.
He is currently training hard for his upcoming December grading and is well on track. Keep up the phenomenal work, Sonny—you have a very bright future ahead. I am very proud of you young man.

π₯ Class Theme:- Focus
Our Family Class started strong tonight with a excellent stretch and dynamic warm-up, followed by high-energy sparring.
Our class theme tonight was Focus: The state or quality of having or producing clear visual definition, clarity, and directed attention. We had an excellent floor chat discussing how vital focus is to our Soo Bahk Do training, daily lives, and personal safety scenarios.
The students then channelled that mental focus into Ho Sin Sool (Self-Defence), Hyung (Forms), and Il Soo Sik Dae Ryun (One-Step Sparring), finishing the session strongly with a challenging set of sit-ups.
Following this, our Senior Class put in fantastic work, pushing hard through the advanced syllabus material.
Outstanding effort from everyone tonight!
Keep an eye out—someone from this evening's sessions will be named our next Student of the Week.
Keep up the great work, everyone.
Soo Bahk!!! π
