Welcome to Bayside Hapkido’s May Newsletter! Good luck to all Hawks, Falcons and Adults grading this month! It will be a big month for belt promotions

Well it has been a huge month from both the admin side of things and training. We have implemented a new system that enables people to login and see what is happening with attendance, invoices, timetable, gradings etc. It has been painful to say the least but we are almost there and having things running smoothly. It is a great system and appreciate people’s patience on getting this updated.

You can login here to check out your membership details etc. Please feel free to update your phone numbers and addresses etc.

In addition we have had the photo’s being taken and they have come up amazingly well. You can purchase the photos on the below link and I am working on getting these photo’s up on the website.

With a huge kids grading in May and back to regular training after all the public holidays, I am looking forward to working hard at now increasing the quality of all our techniques.

Have a great month and see you on the floor soon.

Nath, SB

Training Tip

A tip for this month, seeing as we have two gradings in May… From the moment you walk in, LISTEN. You know your techniques, enough to have them signed off. But you can run into trouble if you make silly mistakes by not listening to instructions properly!

The harder the battle, the sweeter the victory.
