| 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. |

| News Item: Brookvale - the move to Orchard Rd |
On the 7 Feb 2010 the Brookvale dojang move their mats and sprung floor into their new dojang in Orchard Rd. This new centre stands out from other similar gyms of this genre, not just by size or what is inside the gym but with its blending of eastern feel with modern western decor. Fully equipped and matted with sprung floor, change facilities, personal training studio, and weights area, our dojang caters for beginner students through to advanced, kids and adults alike. It offers our students far more, has double the training space of our old dojang (almost 300sqm of matted, sprung flooring!), better facilities, easier parking and child drop off options.

| News Item: Master Brown's weekend in Byron |
It was that time of year again when I venture north to
Byron Bay to conduct a weekend seminar and Black Belt grading. The Byron Bay
Instructor, Shirsha Marie 4th Degree had done a great job in organising the
weekend and I really enjoyed seeing everyone again. My lovely hosts, Eli and
Amy put me up at their house and made my stay very comfortable and it was very
much appreciated.
