This young man is absolutely flying.

Oliver earned this award for excellent all round progress.

Oliver has been working so hard inside and outside the Dojang which has not gone unnoticed.

At his last grading just before christmas Oliver performed at a very good standard no mistakes earning his Red belt. Oliver joined our senior class a while back and the progress he has been making on that class is unbelievable. I have seen a very nice upward curve in his all round syllabus material progress and the results are really shining through.

I am really enjoying watching his weekly development and teaching him and being part of his black belt journey.

Oliver trains very hard every single week, he never misses class and gives 100% concentration and effort. 

Oliver is a very clever lad and picks up new techniques very quickly he also asks plenty of questions regarding the intricate parts of the techniques which is great to see.

Oliver is very humble and is exactly the type of student I love to have training at my club. He understands the path he is on and conducts himself how I would expect a good Soo Bahk Do practitioner to act.

Since his first class he has come a long long way indeed. I have no doubt in my mind that this young man in the future will reach and make an excellent Cho Dan (Black Belt) candidate and will be a very good Soo Bahk Do practitioner.

We are currently working on lots of syllabus work for our summer grading and Oliver is well on course for it.

Every week Oliver is quietly going about his business and chipping away and it's great seeing him enjoying and learning all the new techniques and seeing his continued development.

Oliver is really doing very well in all areas. I couldn't be happier with his progress. 

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

This young man really is one to watch and is destined for great things at our club.

Well done Oliver keep it up. I am very very proud of you young man. 👊

Our family class was great, working hard on Hyung (Forms) and Ho Sin Sool (Self Defence) and 

IL Soo Sik Dae Ryun (One Step Sparring).

We had a very full class tonight. 

We started with workstations. Everyone putting in 100% effort.

Our class theme tonight was:- Strenghts and Weaknesses.

We discussed our class theme and why strengths and weknesses are so important. We worked in pairs on this topic.

Following our class theme we worked hard on syllabus material.

Closing off strongly with a group effort of lots of sit ups, we had a great class.

We then had our senior class working hard on Hyung (Forms) and Ho Sin Sool (Self Defence) and 

IL Soo Sik Dae Ryun (One Step Sparring). We also worked on kicking techniques on the shields.

Someone from tonight's class will receive a student of the week award next class.

Keep up the great work everyone.

Soo Bahk !!!

👊
