2007 was an exciting year for me as I achieved my 8th Dan promotion in Taekwondo – making me the highest grade in the UK – and also gaining my First Class Instructors certificate (including a commendation) - the only person outside Korea to hold this qualification. I also received my International Fighting Refereeing qualification (Egypt) and certification in Poomse judging (Peru) which is for Isle Of Man Taekwondo Association please checkout www.iomtkd.org
To achieve these honours, it entailed being away for several prolonged periods and this was only possible with the help from several of my senior students. I should like to thank you all for the loyalty and dedication you have given but in particular I should like to thank the following people who took the majority of the classes in my absence:-
|
Ronald Thomas
|
Kick Boxing
|
|
Master Ashley Dobbins & Nick Jones
|
Kung Fu
|
|
Master Jeff Scott-Smith
|
Tae Kwon Do
