Newsletter Newsletter 1/2006 UK Seminar With Master Ellis

Master Ellis covers the finer points of low block with England Team member Dan Farrell.

Two excellent 3-hour seminars were conducted by the ETA Technical Committee over the weekend with a very high turnout of junior and senior grades! On the Saturday there were 52 red-tags and below and on the Sunday, 55 red and black belts were at Lyonsdown Hall in New Barnet to train under Master Ellis - this included 6 members of the current England Taekwon-Do Team.

The seminars paid close attention to important elements of technical detail in Taekwon-Do and the Technical Committee made sure to pay personal attention to each and every student during the sessions. The relaxed but highly focussed training was thoroughly enjoyed by the participants and the next set of seminars in 6 months time are already eagerly awaited!

After the seminar on the Sunday, a Black Belt Grading was conducted by Master Ellis, Mr Denis 6th Degree and Mr Symonds 4th Degree. Congratulations to Mr Marc Fitzsimons, Mr Piotr Capaja, Mr Dan Farrell and Mr Rowland Adelagun for achieving 3rd Degree Black Belt and Miss Julie Fagg for achieving 2nd Degree!
