SEMINAR

I arrived at the Crowne Plaza for 9.30am to find students from both Cornwall and Scotland in reception, Master Nicholls arrived shortly afterwards. We made our way to the training area and by 10am the hall was full of students for the seminar.
After a brief introduction Master Nicholls began with the explanation of technically adjustments made by Master Choi Jung Hwa after his recent seminars. With students ranging from White Belt to VI Degree a pattern specific seminar was out of the question.
Drawing on his many years experience Master Nicholls was able to give a extremely well received seminar concentrating on the generation of power, utilising what we have now termed the Taekwon-Do Movement.
The 3 hours passed in a flash, finishing with the V and VI Degree demonstrating So-San, then broke for a photo shoot. We now had the afternoon to utilise the Hotels facilities before the banquet later that evening.

Meeting for welcoming drinks at 7.30pm we were joined by the recently promoted Master Muleta and his mother who were over from Australia on family business. Always welcome Master Muleta has become good friends with a lot of Imperial Students as he was host for the 2006 Junior World Championships and made our group very welcome out in Oz.
We were all sat down by 8 and the starters were served. The 4 course Christmas menu went down a treat and by 9.30 we were on the coffee. It was time for Master Nicholls to take the lectern and after a short speech presented the annual awards.
