Yesterday's BBC Seminar The Art of Self Defence was brilliant!

Grandmaster Geoff was in exceptionally fine form - it was a highly entertaining seminar with lots of jokes, laughs and anecdotes.

The demo put on by the Black Belts and Grandmaster Geoff was awesome.

The street psychology and body language discussion was highly interesting and useful and it was awesome to learn how to make even basic White Belt techniques nasty.

Great news also with the announcement of the 2010 BBC Seminar Series - the "How To" Series and the announcement of the first seminar in 2010 on "How To Be a Hapkido Student". This one will be a seminar no student will want to miss!

Looking forward to the last BBC seminar for 2009 - The Art of Fighting on 12 December 2009.

OTR Sydney 4 was held this weekend and what a fantastic training weekend it was!



Saturday started off with a Kids Seminar which was a smashing success! Each of the kids got thrown by Grandmaster Geoff at the end of their seminar, who said throwing was not fun?

In the afternoon Grandmaster Geoff took us through Old School Techniques from a Syllabus that dated back to 1986! Now these techniques were MEAN!



On Saturday evening we all headed to The Black Rose Cafe in Liverpool to celebrate 10 years of Kwan Nyom Hapkido - there was all you could eat pizza and pasta and it was a good thing the weekend was such a workout because we all ate way too much!



The Wing Tsun seminar on the Sunday morning was a lot of fun - its great to get exposure to another style of martial art without having to leave the Dojang and students soon discovered there was a fair bit of overlap between what we were learning and our Hapkido.

Yesterday afternoon Guro Floro taught a Kali Sticks seminar - this was a very entertaining seminar and we did Sinawali which was great fun!



All in all a fantastic training weeekend!
