What happened to the newsflash?
You might have noticed that the newsflash is still "flashing" news stories from ages ago! Talk about old news! Im going to fix this soon, so bare with me. In the mean time if anyone knows how to solve this problem using Sine wave (hwaldung pahdo), or Jirugi, Im all ears (gwi)

Page 1 of 2 On Saturday 17th October 2009 Northern Taekwon-do held a training session in order to raise money for Mission Cure Bangladesh, a charity that Miss Pearson is involved with, which aims to raise money to establish a specialist hospital for Maxillofacial Surgery, which will provide free treatment for people who suffer with oral disease, facial defects and facial deformities and will be within easy reach for the majority of the inhabitants of Bangladesh.
Mr Archer VI and Mr Ridley VI very kindly agreed to travel to Stockport to run the session for us, so all students were very much looking forward to this excellent opportunity to train with two of the most Senior Instructors in the Association and also to hopefully raise a lot of money for an excellent cause. The kids training session was in the morning and was well attended.
A special thank you to the parents from the Leeds club who travelled a long way on a Saturday morning to bring their children down to Stockport for this session. After a warm up with Mr Ridley, including some team races, Mr Archer took over for the technical part of the session.
He gave all the children some very useful tips and as each grade had been through their patterns they were sent over to Mr Ridley to do some pad work, kicking drills, self defence and sparring. The session was quite tough but very enjoyable and I think everyone who attended will have learned something. After a short break the adults arrived ready to start their session.
The adult session was booked to last 3 ½ hours and although some students may have found the thought of this length of time quite daunting I think everyone will agree that once the session started the time flew by. After a warm up and some stretching with Mr Archer we moved onto patterns and some technical pointers and again as each grade finished their patterns they were sent over to Mr Ridley to do some pad work, kicking drills, self defence and sparring.
