This weekend our Instructors, blackbelts and senior coloured belts attended a seminar with Grand Master Boss 9th Degree and his son World Champion Timothy Boss.
An excellent seminar which covered technical improvement and delivery led by the Grand master and also sparring drills and strategy from Timothy.
A thoroughly enjoyable day of TKD. Warwick & Leamington TKD investing in our development and furthering our abilities to make the club the best it can be for our members.
Last night saw Warwick & Leamington TKD club back inside Everyones Active Warwick site, St Nicholas Park Leisure Centre.
After 2 months of conducting training sessions out in the park twice a week we returned to the leisure centres main sports hall delivering 2 classes. This is ideal timing as the club has a promotion grading test scheduled for the beginning of June so will allow a quality practice environment for the students.
Thursday nights are still being conducted out in the park however this gives the students a fantastic opportunity to practice their skills in a realistic environment wearing clothes and trainers on as they would be if they had to deal with a physical situation for real.
I have been reading a number of articles today looking for one to post on new year resolutions, however most of them have been a bit poor or annoying. A number of them suggesting that this is a bad thing, that it is negative, setting yourself up to fail!!! I disagree with this and here’s why.
Some sources are saying why make a new year’s resolution, it’s just the start of another year, just another day, you can make these changes any day of the year, why put this pressure on yourself, by doing this and failing it will have a negative effect on your mental state!!! It’s right you can do this any time, any day of the year but the new year is an excellent time after the Christmas excesses, it’s a natural start point and if you do it right and for the right reasons you won’t fail!!!
Why is a resolution to be better or do better bad?! It’s obviously not, trying to better ourselves and improve our life choices has got to be a good thing, it’s just how you go about it and why you want to do it.
Due to the fire damage at St Nicholas Park Leisure Centre we have been forced to move our Tuesday and Friday classes to Warwick School sports hall on the Myron Road. Once the St Nics hall is fixed we will move back there but I’m afraid this doesn’t look like it will haven for a few weeks.
Thank you to Warwick School for stepping up and enabling our training to continue.
The Thursday night class is still on at the usual location Newbold Comyn Leisure Centre.
17 coloured belt students from Warwick-TKD attended the T-UK Central region block grading in Stratford upon Avon at the weekend. After a tough promotion test testing their abilities to deliver techniques, patterns, set sparring, free sparring, self defence techniques and destruction for the higher grades I am pleased to announce that all 17 passed. Well done all of you, it shows that putting in hard work and preparing properly reaps rewards.
A great morning promoting the club at the local sports centre Newbold Common in Leamington Spa giving us the chance to spread the word and grow the club. Thank you to St Nics and Newbold Common Every Body Active for inviting us.
