Awesome job by Finlay our student of the month for November 2025.

Very well deserved.

Finlay earned this fully engraved award with his name on for excellent progress in Hyung (Forms).

I am very pleased that Finlay is training at my club, he has made many new friends and is doing extremely well.

Finlay's progress since he has joined my club has been amazing. Finlay has been with me for around 6 months but the dedication he puts in week in week out. All the effort he gives every single class, he trains like an absolute trojan every single week and he has been doing all of this since day one at our club.

Balance has massively improved as well as hand and eye co-ordination. His kicks are looking good and he has got good power. 

He took his first grading tonight and wow o wow, he did so good. No mistakes. Awesome all round display from a very talented young man.

I told him on that very first class:- The path he has chosen is a very wise one and if kept on offers great reward. 

Soo Bahk Do doesn't just teach us how to defend ourselves when needed, it teaches us how to live. To be the best version of ourselves we can possibly be through our training. Finlay totally understands this and is on the path and I am so happy to see him reaping the rewards for all his hardwork and training.

I am really looking forward to teaching and seeing Finlay progress even further in 2026 and on the rest of his black belt journey.

 

This young man really is on the rise and is definitely one to watch, he is truly destined for great things at our club. 

Well done Finlay, keep doing what you are doing.

Im very proud of you young man 👊

We had our winter grading tonight. It's night's like these that really show me how far everyone has come and also how far our club has come. I couldn’t be prouder of everyone at our club. Every single student stepped up their game tonight, a few were taken out of their confort zone but all gave me 100% effort and performed at a very good standard. Awesone job by everyone well done. 

Results will be in next week. 

 

Soo Bahk !!!
