Competition Day

Well, it wasn’t to be really was it? Still I went along to the competition and had a great time. I am a little disappointed with the result but what could I expect other than to not win anything. I did win experience though!

The competition was really well attended and the Haedong Kumdo had entries from several clubs, including some guys from Scotland – wow! Thanks for coming guys, you did really well and I learnt lots!

The Haedong Kumdo ‘star of the show’ for me was Roy Curry. Roy won the Form competition in spectacular fashion with a beautifully performed Form which was truly amazing to watch. I’m a long way from that standard – but not as far away as I used to be! I also need to mention two colleagues Stuart Burton (1st in Draws) and Lewis Edwards (2nd in Draws) - a fantastic result.

Oh, and I must say a big thank you to those involved in organising it all - great job and worth every moment. Thanks!

The photo is of some of our Dragon Academy Tang Soo Do students – they did really well in the completion too, so deserve a mention and at least a photo. I think I’ll also have to think more seriously about taking up Tang Soo Do – in the future. Maybe without the sparing as I’m worried I may just grab someone and throw them - Ippon Seoinage? – it would be so cool, well, maybe not.
