Stoke Gifford TKD was very proud to have dedicated student Miss Phoebe Grandfield 2nd degree representing the club this weekend along with Instructor Miss Burridge at the Grand Master Choi Jung Hwa IIC held in London hosted by Master Trevor Nicholls & the UK ITF.
The course was held over two days, with students & Master Instructors ranging from 2nd kup to 8th Degree all training together. Miss Burridge & Miss Grandfield were able to meet up with old colleagues & also make friends with new ones from all around the world.
The weekend was both physically & mentally demanding, with Grand Master Choi emphasising the importance of power & speed when performing all of our movements in particular kicks.
Along with all the hard work we were all lucky to also spend some relaxation time with Grand Master Choi at an evening banquet. Master Nicholls thanked Master Choi for his hard work & attendance & presented him with a gift from UK ITF. Miss Burridge took this opportunity in the presence of Grand Master Choi & Master Nicholls to present a surprised Miss Grandfield with some awards that she had achieved last year. Grand Master Choi then asked Miss Grandfield for a closer look so invited her to bring her awards to his table! Miss Burridge along with the other development committee representatives were presented with a gift from Master Nicholls as an appreciation for all the hard work she has put into the Tournament committee so far.
The weekend was finished off with some individual photo’s with Grand Master Choi & Master Nicholls. A great souvenir to a memorable weekend.
A big thank you goes to UK ITF, Master Nicholls & Ashley Nicholls for all their hard work in organising the event.
We look forward to our next Taekwon-do seminar with Master Trevor Nicholls in Bristol this coming April.
