I I C Tralee

2011-02-03T09:49:00.000-08:00

We have recently came back from an IIC in Tralee in County Kerry in Ireland, taken by Grandmasters Bos, Marano and Tratjenberg. We all had a fantastic time and learnt more than we have in a while. Nearly every part of our bodies were sore. There is another IIC on September in Benidorm, so we're hoping to get some interest in that.

We would like to thank our Irish hosts for making us all so welcome, from colour belts right up to Masters.

student of the year

2011-02-03T09:43:00.001-08:00

This years Student of the Year award went to Mrs Trisha Mullen, 1st kup. We consider this award to be more important than winning golds at every tournament, though if you do, then well done!!

Being a Taekwon-Do student is more than being a great kicker, being a competitor or being tough. It's how you improve within yourself and the aura you can spread amongst the other students and instructors. For these reasons we rightfully chose Mrs Mullen as our Student of the Year.

WELL DONE TRISH,

Paddy & Jackie Timoney

John Houston was presented with his Black Belt by GrandMaster MacCallum. Indeed a great night for Mr Houston

BRATISLAVA - EUROPEAN CUP 2010

Mr Timoney recently came back from this tournament after coaching with the Scotland team. Scotland won 4 silver and two bronze, with Mr Michael Leask from Robin Blairs Academy winning 1 of each, even winning bronze in 2nd degree patterns after only passing his grading a few months ago.

There was a great camaraderie amongst the Scottish contingent who all seemed to enjoy the Slovakian hospitality, though not too much, it has to be said!!
