Awesome job by Carl our student of the week for the week of 23-9-26.

Very well deserved.

What a difference 9 months or so can make in someones life. 

Carl earned this award for excellent all round progress.

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

Carl is one of our newer students and has been training at my club for around 9 months or so. He absolutely loved his first class and every class after and both Carl and his son couldn't wait to join.

Carl 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. He has vastly improved in all areas and he is now moving like a good Soo Bahk Do practitioner. 

Carl has got very good power in both fists and both feet 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 Ho Sin Sool (Self Defence) part of class and really enjoys the intricate parts of the techniques and movements. Carl also loves learning and understanding how the techniques work. 

Carl fully understands how Soo Bahk Do can change your life for the better and carries this with him outside the Dojang too. Carl 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 Carl progresses over the coming months and teaching him on the rest of his black belt journey and beyond.

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

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

Our class theme tonight was :- Balance

We spoke about balance in martial arts having a good foundation. We also discussed balance in everyones life. Having a good balance of good habits.

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 balance with our movement and techniques and lots of drills and syllabus material.

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

Keep up the great work everyone.

Soo Bahk !!!
