*The next grading conducted by Grandmaster Loh is on Saturday 3rd December. It is taking place at the Nottingham University Sports Centre, on the main campus site. All students need to arrive promptly at 9.30am with a neat and tidy appearance (Doboks ironed and hair tied back if it is long enough to do so). The grading will finish at 12pm. Grandmaster Loh will be conducting a training session after the grading on Saturday 3rd December 2-4pm and again on Sunday 4th December 10am-12pm. We encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity. We are very fortunate that Grandmaster Loh plays such an active role in our taekwondo training, it is quite unusual for someone so senior to make regular training sessions available at such a reasonable price. It is also a very good opportunity to train with different people. Pilsung Dr Brown

*October the 23rd was the last TTA National Individuals Competition this year. It was a successful and enjoyable day (as always) especially as we had two entries from TTA Nottingham, Alexi Astachenko and Andrew Martin. We would like to thank Alexi, Andrew and Mrs Martin for making the journey to represent TTA Nottingham. Both Alexi and Andrew did very well. Andrew was called twice to perform his pattern and narrowly missed 3rd place. A very good outcome for his first competition! Congratulations Andrew. Andrew thoroughly enjoyed the day and is planning on going to the next TTA Competition. He was so inspired by what he saw he has said he would like to enter the sparring category next time. The next event will be in April next year and although it is a National Team Sparring Competition for over 16s it is an individual sparring event for children and under 16s. It would be great to see more students from TTA Nottingham enter into future competitions. If any of you have any questions about it please come and ask us. Mrs Martin has very kindly written a piece about the event and her and Andrews experience that weekend. It's been added to the website and I'm sure you will agree it's an enjoyable and informative read. Pilsung Dr Brown

As you all progress in your Taekwondo learning I hope that

| *Congratulations to all who managed to brave the weather and graded this weekend (4th December 2010). Well done to all who passed with particular mention to Seo-yeon, Maddie and Alexie for achieving A grades.
I hope that you have a good opportunity to reflect on your own personal performance, think about what you feel was good and also what areas you feel that you need to work on. Taekwondo is all about your own development and it doesn't matter what grade you are, you can always continue to improve and enjoy it more which is what I hope you all do.
