Padbury club makes a great start to 2009

posted by atapadbury in Padbury, Photos

Thank you and welcome back all.

I say thank you because I am astounded with the unprecedented attendance for the commencement of training this year. It is almost as though we have not had a break at all. Your enthusiasm for training will be matched by my passion for your development and growth in confidence. With the new equipment that we have bought, this year promises to be exciting. New equipment means better training opportunity and even new circuits.

Preparation for grading has already begun. The date for the first grading at Padbury club this year is 2nd April. Remember that grading is conditional upon satisfactory attendance as well as performance. Check the February 2009 newsletter for your grading requirements.

Congratulations to Kennedy on his successful 2nd Dan grading in December 2008. I am sure that many of the students are looking forward to learning from your experiences.

What is your favourite training routine? Let us know and we will try to incorporate it into more training sessions this year.

Finally, I trust 2009 will see a significant improvement in your skill and fitness levels. Lets all train hard and remember……..Believe and you will succeed.

Regards

Hubert
