Hi Folks,
Apologies for the lack of updates recently, I have been very busy with many things, but at least its only the web page that's slipping. Ok we have a seminar given by Master Darcy on Sat 26th March, am looking forward to that.
We attended the Nationals in Dublin in Feb, which was a very well run event and Newport did very well as usual, well done and thanks to all who took part. The second part of the Nationals takes place in Dublin on th 9th April in the same venue for Patterns and one steps, I would like to see a large attendance from Newport at this event.
We had a Panthers grading in early March, it was a resounding success and the Panthers were brilliant.
The Scottish Nationals on the May bank holiday weekend should be good fun, am looking forward to that event. There are a few places left if anyone is interested in attending. We are planning a grading for April, I am just waiting for confirmation on a date. Ill post as soon as I have it confirmed.
Keep training and keep pushing your self you are all doing very well.
Mr Nick Gleeson.

Saturday the 27th was a great day and I have to say that all students did us and themselves proud, well done to all who graded, you all passed I am delighted to say. Everyones discipline was excellent as was your theory and grading material, patterns one steps etc. Some students were caught a bit off guard by some of Master Darcy's questions and looked like rabbits caught in headlights. What Master Darcy is looking for are answers from your heart, what Taekwondo means to you personally. So next time relax and think about his questions and answer honestly. Well done everybody. Remember keep training always and follows the aims to achieve with your heart and soul.
What about that seminar, what a fantastic seminar that was, Master Darcy and Master Byrne were in great form and put on a wonderful seminar that I know everybody enjoyed immensely. We are so very lucky to have masters of this caliber teaching us how to be martial artists. I will put up photos of the seminar shortly. Remember that the seminar was about fighting techniques and covered all of the fighting techniques from Yellow belt through to Purple belt only. In your next grading be sure to apply these techniques otherwise the teachings of our master will have been in vain. |
