It’s the dawn of a new era and its great to be back. I have really been looking forward to presenting this award for a while. This really is someone's journey I am very, very interested in and excited about indeed and someone I believe in 100%.

Awesome job by Logan our student of the month for March 2026.

Very well deserved.

Logan earned this fully engraved award with his name on for excellent all round progress. Taking home his first ever ESBD student of the month award.

I am very pleased that Logan is training at my club, he has made many new friends and is really enjoying the black belt journey.

I truly believe this young man is really, really going to be something exceptional. It was very clear to me from Logan's very first class that I am a very lucky instructor indeed and have an amazing talent on my hands. I just know how good this young man is going to be, if he keeps training the way he currently is. His potential is off the charts. 

Logan has fully embraced what being a Soo Bahk Do practitioner means and the responsibilites that go with it. I told him on his first class, Soo Bahk Do will change his life and offers great reward if the path is kept on. He trains so hard inside and outside the Dojang and absolutely loves his training. 

Logan graded just before Christmas at a very high standard no mistakes and earnt his Yellow belt. He is exactly the type of student I love to have at our club. His concentration and focus are exceptional and he truly enjoys every minute of training. 

We have been working very hard on syllabus material and Logan is really picking up everything so well, he is an absolute natural and a very fast learner. Logan is well on course for his summer grading.

This young man is a real power house, he has fantastic kicking and punching power. The kicking techniques are looking very good too.

Logan has been quietly going about his business and putting in so much hard work, I am so so pleased he is getting the rewards for all his effort.

I am really looking forward to teaching and seeing Logan progress on the rest of his black belt journey.

This young man is on the right path and definitely one to watch and is destined for great things at our club.

I always say in class, if you find your passion you will find your purpose. I truly believe Logan has found his. 

Well done Logan keep it up. Keep doing what you are doing. I am very very proud of you young man.👊

We started our family class with a good stretch and warmup followed by movement and kicking techniques.

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 training and everyday life. 

We then moved into lots of Ho Sin Sool (Self Defence) and Hyung (Forms) using our seniors to help assist the white, yellow and orange belts which was great to see.  

We are working on leadership mentality and assistance from our seniors. For our seniors it's not only important to keep learning new skills and progressing on the black belt journey. It is also to pass on the knowledge learnt in your own unique way and become a leader. To be able to demonstrate at a high standard what you have learnt. It's not just about the journey it's also about who you become on that journey.

We then practised our kicking techniques on the shields.

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 Ho Sin Sool (Self Defence), Hyung (Forms) and IL Soo Sik Dae Ryun (One Step Sparring).

Someone from tonight's class will receive a student of the week award next class. Remember we are closed next week as im away on holiday and we will be back to normal on the 15th.

Keep up the great work everyone.

Soo Bahk !!!

👊
