All
Grades Seminar Workshop, Swanmore on 29th October.
Again, another fantastic seminar. Thanks to the instructors who
were great and worked really hard. As with last year it was a fantastic
day. We spent the whole day practicing kyorgi, patterns, self-defence
or a combination of all three, and quite a few took up the opportunity
for a 15 minute session with the Physio. We'll be looking forward
to the 2012 seminar!
 Kukkiwon
at the Thames Festival
The weekend of 10th & 11th September saw the Kukkiwon demonstration
team perform 4 fantastic demonstations over the two days in front
of packed crowds. Students and instructors from LLTKD attended on
the Saturday and met with Taekwondo-ists from all over the UK and
Korea.
This
was the fifth year that the Korean Cultural Centre UK (KCCUK) have
arranged for Taekwondo to be brought to the Thames Festival, and
as usual the Taekwondo show did not disappoint!

Kingston are being arranged.
Grand
Master Park Hae Man's Visit
Most of the club were out in force for GM Park's seminar on 14th
April - even the guys from the centre popped up to see what it was
all about. As usual GM Park impressed us with this power and spirit,
and gave us quite a few things to fine tune within our techniques.
Dinner afterwards was also fun, although we ended in the wrong one
(sorry to the restaurant that we'd booked!).
Congratulations to:
Johnathan, Kavishan, Tyrone and Op who all passed their black belt
grading on 5th December. Well done!

University club will be back up and running as of Monday 27th September.
