All set up for our formal gradings this Saturday, just need to mop down after tonightโs training session and we are all good to go.
We have a few coloured belts grading this term, Ninjas & Warriors.๐๐ผ
Two, Red 3โs grading for their Provisional Black Belts ๐ and four Provisional Black Belts grading for their full Black Belts ๐ which will be recognised world-wide through the Taekwondo Kukkiwon Headquarters in Korea, under myself and Shilla Taekwondo.
Good luck in advanced to all students that are eligible for grading this Saturday.
Red Belts and Provisional Black Belts, will be expecting an intense and hard 5 hour grading ahead, and all students to finish off smashing through their board breaks, I might even do 1 or 2!?
We have spares if any parent would to give it a go.
I sincerely thank 8 of our Shilla Black Belts that are free and able to assist with our formal gradings this Saturday, to help all students move to their next levels in Taekwondo, full Martial Arts Spirits right there!๐๐ผ
A later Black Belt lunch will be on me again as usual.
And off course all students even get a treat after their gradings ๐ซ even me, lol..
Tea, coffee and biscuits will be supplied for all parents, grandparents and carers only while you enjoy the gradings.
Thanks to our Junior Black Belt Leadership Team for all their help during this term assisting me with students, and to my partner Leigh as well for a lot of admin work that gets done behind the scenes, sheโs teaching me a lot on the computer as well, but it still does my head inโฆ๐๐
Thanks again Raj for donating a circular saw to me to make my job easier to cut down all the boards.
And once again Iโd like to thank the whole team from the Penrith Valley Regional Sports Centre, for allowing me to have my full time Dojang set up in your premises. Itโs such a pleasure.๐
See you all tonight, and on grading morning.
Take Care!
