| News Item: Great training session at Sutherland with special guest |
 | Many instructors over the past years have been heard saying things like "yeah! it would be great to get Grandmaster Kim over to my club" and "I really should invite him one day".
Well a few months ago, Mitchell Wetherell the instructor at Sutherland, actually picked up the phone, invited Grandmaster Kim and last night all the Sutherland students were treated to a fantastic and inspiring class.
As usual, Grandmaster Kim spoke about focus, discipline and personal practice with clarity and passion.
The students were given simple tasks to attempt, at each step Grandmaster Kim added a new ingredient, use more head movement, move more naturally, how to make you feints more believable, what distance to use, where to aim, when to move, when to strike.
Grandmaster Kim also explained clearly the feeling of each technique. Everyone worked up a sweat and learnt heaps.
A key point Grandmaster Kim showed was how to de-construct a technique and then re-build it so you could know how and when to use it. This lesson could be applied to any technique at any level.
A big thanks goes out to Grandmaster Kim for giving his time and to Mitchell Wetherell for having the initiative to arrange this special gift for his students.
Sorry we have no photos - we were too busy training to stop for photos.
If any other instructors would like Grandmaster Kim to take a class at their dojang - don't talk - do. |

Phil Eizenberg (a 4th Degree instructor from Northern NSW) conducted an interview on the ABC national radio with Rachael Kohn on the show called Spirit of Things. In the interview Phil explains how he teaches victims how to be strong and courageous in body and mind.
There are actually three people in the interview - very interesting listening - thanks to Phil for spreading the word about the good work we do in teaching and spreading the noble art of Hapkido.
