To become a Master, My Journey So Far……………………….
April 19, 2017
April has been a busy month at Family Martial Arts even with the school holiday for Easter. We have taught our life skills DISCIPLINE and COURTESY and have seen these used throughout our classes and have also heard that they are being used outside of your training at home and about. Well Done.
The patterns and syllabus work for this rotation are looking good and if the effort is kept up will be really sharp on Grading day. The Junior belt pattern is Chon-Ji and for the Senior belts, your pattern is Toi-Gye. Don’t forget to learn your pattern and Belt meanings along with technique and stance details.
Gradings will soon be upon us again for all students at both The Maidstone and Gravesend Schools, the dates are –
Friday 28th April and Wednesday 3rd May at the Gravesend School
Wednesday 3rd May and Thursday 4th May at the Maidstone School
Make sure your name is on the sign up sheets and payment is made and marked off by a member of staff prior to the Grading taking place please.
We have also had a new Junior Student of the Month at the Gravesend School for March so well done to Harbani Kaur and good luck to those trying this month.
It was a roll over at the Maidstone school so those with nominations, keep going and those that have not so far this month, keep trying.
Happy birthday wishes this month go to Layla, Callum, Kian, Oscar and Felix all from our Gravesend School Juniors and from our Maidstone School Juniors this month we have Ismaeel, Aimee, Jack, Rowan, Toby, Luke, and Filip.
There is the Knife Defence Workshop being held at the Gravesend School by Mr. Tandoh on Sunday 30th April from 10am until 12 noon with an optional FREE hour from 12 to 1pm. Please see notice boards and sign up in advance. No experience required so invite friends and family members. Open to junior ages upwards.
Don’t forget that there is also Pressure point lessons every Tuesday at 8 pm and Modern Arnis lessons every Thursday at 8pm All at the Maidstone school.
