Guys and Gals of Taekwondo!

The following is information about GRADING:

Black belts or people who are not grading, please come along to assist and support if you are free.

I will be at HK WARD Ovals on Sunday morning from 830am to assist those who will be grading that day (Extra training/last minute training). PLEASE DO NOT ARRIVE LATE for this event, afterall it is an examination (Don’t Stress). You can also bring your friends and family members to come and take pictures etc.

Monday 10th May – This training will go through grading format that will happen on Sunday.

All Belts who wish to grade please learn your patterns properly, for colour belts please memorise the current pattern and the previous patter. I will teach you “one-step-sparring” and “self defence” on Monday.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ciREKkCr_U – one step sparring (Don’t panic, white belt level is easier)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNgZ-JZ9dp8&feature=PlayList&p=172ACCB4D27487D1&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=9 – something like this… but do not worry white belt ones are easier

See you all on Monday at 3pm for training.

Jason Liem

PS: Please do not hesitate to ask us for help anytime you see us

For the Poomse, here’s a site I found quite helpful

Also we will be having a Club Photo taken after the grading. Uniforms are a must, we gotta look smart and spiffy after all. Again, I’ll tell you guys when the Mooto uniforms are back in. If you don’t have one you can borrow one off Jason for the photo.

Good luck with your pattern memorisation and I’ll see you all on Monday.

Where:
HK Ward Dojo Room

When:
10am-12pm
Sunday 16th May

Good luck! The next two Monday classes will be grading preparation classes (they’ll help if you’re grading!)

Ok, just a reminder. If you own a Mooto uniform, get the top half to Jason before this Friday. The printing on the back is coming off and we’re going to get it redone. Bring it in clean. No passing it over as soon as you’re done wearing it in training alright? Please ensure that your name is somewhere on the uniform as well.

Also, as you may have heard we are changing the location of our Wednesday late class. It will no longer be held at the Aquatic Centre. Instead it will be held in the basketball courts of HK Ward. Class times are now from 3 – 4.30 pm in the Dojo Room and then from 4.30 – 6 pm at the Basketball courts. We apologise for the inconvenience this might cause.

See you all at training

Alright, first things first. The BBQ. It was rained out today, but we’re gonna try again on Thursday. Same time same place. Please attend if you can. I know I will.

Raffle tickets. Buy em! Seriously. It’s for a good cause. Namely… Us. The club. We can’t be as awesome as we are now if we’re out of pocket. So get buying guys. Talk to any of the committee members, we’re the ones selling them. Prizes include a stay in a Bali resort, fancy Mooto backpacks, and some sparring gear. And no, you’re not seeing things. Jason has managed to get the winner a stay in a resort. No plane fare, but yeah. I doubt any other uni raffle can boast the same.

Training over the break. It’s off for this Friday and next Monday. I repeat, Good Friday and Easter Monday are a no go. Training is still on the Wednesday and Friday from April the 7th onwards though and is to be held only at HK ward. So no basketball courts next wednesday.

Mooto shoes and the arm and shin guards are in stock now. The arm and shin guards may not all be white. Some of them may be black. Just a heads up.

Uniforms are not ready yet. They are currently in the process of being printed on. I’ll inform you when they’re ready.

As always, for those of you who have them, bring your arm guards and shin guards to training tomorrow.

See you at training

Just a few quick reminders. Training for this upcoming Monday (22/3/10) is gonna be held at the Sports and Aquatic Centre. It runs from 3-5pm.

We’re going on a little field trip to the State Championships this Sunday. If you haven’t already heard about it, (which should be practically impossible) we’re meeting at Olympic Park Station at 10am. Contact Sook if you do intend to go.

We’re also running a BBQ on the 30th of March to raise funds. It goes from about 11am to 2pm. If you can help out in anyway, again… Talk to Sook.

Mooto gear should be coming in this week, so expect the uniforms and shoes around Wednesday. Club T Shirts have arrived; they’re 20 bucks each and are pretty spiffy, so if you want to order one, do it after class.
That’s about it.

See you at training.

For those taking the train, get to Lidcombe station, then transfer to the Olympic Park platform. Trains should leave every 10 minutes, thereabouts. Check the timetable please.

For those who are driving, I suggest you read through this site:

It’s a $5 entrance fee, and bring some $$ to get some food, there’s Hungry Jacks/Mackers and other things there so, chompchomp.. :]:]

Let me remind those who are still considering, COME!! It’s our social, and it’ll be a good chance to see a proper tournament with some good fighters. Plus, 2 club members will be fighting in the tournament, so come cheer them on!

Give me your names and numbers, once again, thanks! Call or message me if you got any questions. :]

As some of you might already know, we were unable to book a pit for Monday, so we will be changing the date of our fundraising BBQ to 30th March, Tuesday. The times will stay the same, from 11.30am to 2pm.

Once again, I ask that you please reply me with your time of availability to help out. Please do, if you can, this is for maintaining our club and our training facilities, so we are asking for your assistance! Pre-11.30 am for preparing and post-2pm for clean up, if you can make that as well, PLEASE DO HELP!
