Aryan earned this award for excellent progress in Hyung (Forms).

I am very pleased that Aryan is training at my club with his younger brother, both have made many new friends and really enjoying the black belt journey together.

This young man has been working very hard inside and outside the Dojang.

He truly is on a massive upward curve in progress at the moment. I am really enjoying watching his weekly development and teaching him and being part of his black belt journey.

Aryan trains very hard every single week, he never misses class and gives 100% concentration and effort. He loves our class theme discussions. 

When I ask the students what they think the meaning is to our weekly class theme, Aryan is always one of the first to put his hand up to answer. 

Aryan is a very, very bright young man indeed and always gives an excellent, correct in depth explanation for his answers.

Aryan is a very unique individual and very humble, he is exactly the type of student I love to have training at my club. Very hard working, conducts himself very well inside and outside the Dojang. He did have a bit of previous martial arts experience, which I could tell straight away as soon as I saw the way he moved on his first class with us. Having previous experience can sometimes be a good thing and sometimes can be a bad thing.

He had many good things he had learnt but had picked up a couple of bad habits in movement and sparring. We have worked hard on movement and technique and moving the Soo Bahk Do way. Aryan is a very fast learner and has picked these up really well and is now really moving like a good Soo Bahk Do practitioner and has now got good technique and power. Since his first class he has come a long long way indeed. It’s early days but 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 very good Soo Bahk Do practitioner.

We are currently working on lots of syllabus work ready for our summer grading and Aryan is well on schedule for it.

Every week Aryan 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 progress. Aryan 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 Aryan 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 Aryan keep it up. I am very very proud of you young man. 👊

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

Following the senior class was our family class.

We started with a good warm up and then moved into sparring.

Our class theme tonight was:- Focus

The state or quality of having clear visual definition. 

We discussed our class theme and why Focus in class and in martial arts training in general and in our every day lives is so important. We also discussed how our training teaches us the ability to concentrate and focus so much particularly during Hyung (Forms) and to learn the ability to zone everything else out apart from the important job at hand.

Following our class theme we moved into movement and kicking techniques. Then Hyung (Forms) and Ho Sin Sool (Self Defence).

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

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

Keep up the great work everyone.

Soo Bahk !!!

👊
