Awesome job by Lacie our student of the week for the week of 10-12-25. 

Very well deserved.

Lacie earned this award for excellent progress in Ho Sin Sool (Self Defence).

I am very pleased that Lacie is training at my club with her older sister she is doing extremely well and both young ladies are really enjoying the black belt journey together.

If you want to see what I mean when I say naturally gifted talent in martial arts. Just come down and see how this young lady trains. Never has it been clearer to me that someone was born to do it, Lacie is it, she has it all. There is no limit to how far she can go.

This young lady amazes me every week with her progress. She is an awesome student and exactly the type of student every martial arts instructor would dream of having at their club. 

Very hard working, gives 100% effort every class. Want's to learn every detail and soaks up everything being taught. Moves like she has been doing it years.

Lacie has been with us a while now and what a transformation we have got going on. From her first class, walking through the doors as a shy timid new student to the exceptionally talented practitioner we have with us now.

Lacie graded at a very high standard a few weeks back, no mistakes and earned her 8th geup orange belt.

I have no doubt in my mind that if this young lady carries on the way she is going we have really got an exceptionally gifted student with us that will make an amazing Cho Dan (Black Belt) Candidate.

I am so pleased she is getting the rewards for all her hard work. 

As you can tell this really is someone's progress and journey I am very excited about.

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

This young lady really is one to watch and is 100% destined for great things at our club.

Well done Lacie keep it up. It is an honour to teach you and I am very very proud of you young lady.👊

Our family class was great. Excellent energy and lots of assistance from our seniors which was great to see.

We started with a good stretch and warm up followed by some sparring and then moved into knife defence.

We then worked hard on syllabus material.

Our class theme tonight was:- Philosophy

A theory or attitude that acts as a guiding principle for behaviour.

Eg:-You only get out what you put in. Your level of effort will equal your level of results.

We discussed our class theme and why Philosophy is so important in our training and also our every day lives. 

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

Our senior class was great, working hard on Ho Sin Sool (Self Defence) and Hyung (Forms) and IL Soo Sik Dae Ryun (One Step Sparring).

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

Next week is our last class of the year where we will be presenting 4 awards. Student of the month. Student of the year, Most Improved Student and Best Soo Bahk Do Spirit. Parents are invited to spectate if they wish.

Keep up the great work everyone.

Soo Bahk !!!

👊
