 | Black Belt Gradings in 2012 - pregrading at the Summer Camp |
 At last Sunday's Black Belt Class Master Brown explained the process for pregrading for Black Belts intending to grade at the end of 2012 for the higher Dan grades.
All Black Belts intending to grade for 2nd Degree or above must do a Pre-Grading to demonstrate to the grading panel your commitment to training seriously towards your next grade.
The next pregrading opportunity will be the Summer Camp at Myuna Bay on the last weekend of April (27-29). This pregrading will be conducted thorughout the entire weekend with more of a focus on learning, preparing and perfecting, rather than as a grading test. Your progress will be assessed through a range of activites throughout the enitre weekend.

| Hapkido Newsletter from 1997! |
 Here is a link to download the Hapkido News - Volume 1 Issue 3 from September 1997.
At this time in our history the committee was based in Northern NSW with key people like Barry Restall and David Middleton looking after the association. For example, as can be seen from the photo below, we did a demo at the SGC in front of 36,000 people!! Who can remember being there?
As can be seen from the newsletter - it was being run very smoothly with lots of things happening. Check out the club listing on page 8 - we had 10 clubs in Sydney and 12 clubs out of Sydney, we had a club in Brisbane, Bundaberg, Adelaide and Norfolk Island. Check out the Humour on page 13 - quite funny.

| News Item: Sydney Black Belt Classes for 2012 |

At each Black Belt Class about half of the class will be devoted to teaching Black Belts what they have to learn at their own level. Black Belts with specific knowledge and experience in each area will be asked to help teach this material.

| News Item: Master Kang fishing in Sydney! |
 During their recent visit to Australia, Master Kang Jun, founder of Gong Kwon Yusul, and his trusty assistant Instructor Shin, were taken out for a brief fishing trip by his host family (Andrew and Steven Bory of the Brookvale Dojang) and Master Kim from the Hapkido College of Australia.
It was cold an windy, and no-one caught anything (Master Kang demonstrated his excellent use of English by saying he managed to "catch a cold") but they were rewarded by a nice breakfast and coffee at Balmoral Beach after the early morning fishing. After the breakfast they took a ferry ride over to Circular Quay and looked around the historical sites around the Rocks.

| News Item: Great workshop today at Brookvale with Korean Masters |
Today, instead of the regular December Black Belt class
we had a special Hapkido workshop with two talented Korean
Hapkido instructors. Master Ryoo and Master Kim from the Hapkido College of Australia. They gave us a fantastic Korean Hapkido Workshop at the Brookvale Dojang.
This
2 hour workshop covered Hapkido self defence principles and defence against self defence. We also had a great step-by-step explanation of how to do the spectacular tornado kick.
Many thanks to Master Ryoo, Master Kim and their assistants (who also demonstrated some spectacular kicking and falling abilities) from the Hapkido College of Australia - their headquarters are in Croydon.

| News Item: AHA End of Year Function - Sydney |
On Saturday 26 Nov after the Black Belt Grading at Pittwater, over 85 AHA members from far and wide met at the Brookvale Hotel to celebrate another fantastic year of Hapkido.
Apart from a delicious dinner, awards and handing out of black belt certificates, it was a great chance to catch up with friends. Thanks goes to Rachel Mateo for organising the event. What a great success and fantastic fun night filled with great speeches from Master Brown, Master Geister and John Ansley, very inspirational.
The Scott Wetherell Award was given to Ron Rees this year for his dedication, commitment and service to the AHA for over 30 years (with help from Melissa of course!)
Senior black belts were also given special items to recognise their hard work and dedication. For example, new 3rd degrees were given a walking cane and new 4th degrees given the cross-checked black tops to indicate their rank (see photos in the collection above)
