I dropped into train with my 1st Grand Master Woo Yong Jung (9th dan) in Halifax, NS.
His Olympic, world, national, ... achievements are too long to list here. Long story short... he is amazing!

Thank you for the warm welcome and guidance. I already applied your teachings to our class.

All my best to you Grand Master Woo Yong Jung.

I understand most of you may be shovelling and snowblowing today.

No pressure to attend classes. But I will be there working on my weaknesses. You can join me if you are interested :)

Saturday morning sparring with Grand Master Jens Hosel and his strong athletes.
- I highly recommend "Hi-Performance TaeKwonDo" for anyone in the east-end of St. John's.

I brought our new student, Kagen from Turkey, to get some rounds in with Tayser and Abdule. These are a bunch of martial artists not to be taken lightly. Tough and tactical crew.

Thank you all for the warm welcome and professional training.

All my best.

Congratulations to Ms Chard (2nd dan) & Mr Stassis (1st dan). Your official certificates (and IDs) from Korea have arrived.

The excitement and pride you feel are mutual with us. We all love training with you and being part of our routine experience of "being our best".

Our training is not easy. But it sure is Fun!
Making our classes enjoyful and rewarding is what makes each session an event to look forward to.

You are both terrific examples of Satori (paying attention to and enjoying the moment) while practicing "continous improvement".

Thank you 🥋🙏👌

Congratulations on NL's newest official 3rd Dan black belt in TaeKwonDo, Mr. Stewart T. Hughes.

Another notch on the belt. And another achievement to add to your repertoire.
Mr. Hughes is also a black belt in Karate, an engineer and many other things. He was even the personal guard to Prince Charles when he visited Newfoundland years ago (see comments below for a picture of that).
But most importantly a great guy.

Thank you for being a great team-mate on our path of Continual Improvement.
🥋✅️💪🙌👍

Liam & Stella (now known as Mr. & Mrs Bartlett) have achieved the right to call themselves Black Belts.

Master Reggie Lawrence & Mr. Stewart T. Hughes have taught these two amazing people since they were very young (see pics attached). They were among the very first kids that we had in our youth class.

Both of these athletes had other sports they were growing in throughout their years with us. We were happy to hear that their time spent with us gave them an edge with their focus, fitness, coordination, respect, spirit, character, resilience, confidence and discipline (and many other positive traits). We have been honored to have been a part of their continued growth.

They have now tasted what it feels like to train as black belts. There is a mystical power that comes with this achievement. Proof from the journey tied around their waists.

We look forward to training with you for more years to come. And to see what positive impacts you leave on your own followers.

💪🙏🥋🥷😁✅️
