Congratulations - to the new Black Belts
Three of our top members have completed
their journey they started well over four - seven years ago. Ben Vowles, John
Skeldon and John Loach all did well and have been successful in their Black Belt
exam.
Before the exam commenced the candidates had to write an essay about
the human body its systems and how it relates to moves within Chongshin Do. Then
on Saturday it was a grueling 6 hour exam starting at 10am with a written paper
containing questions on techniques and the Chongshin Do syllabus.
Then the
hard physical exam starting with a two hour Jujitsu exam taking in all aspects
of this art, following this a four our physical test / exam on all aspects of
the TKD & Kickboxing syllabus including Forms, combinations from Forms, Sparring
(1 on 1, 2 on 1, free sparring, 1 & 2 step) plus kickboxing drills and finally,
exhausted they had to show their true fighting spirit with a demonstration of
their power and technique - breaking many pieces of wood / boards and a breeze
block in a demonstration of power, spirit and skill of their training. They all
performed very well and should be very proud of their performance. Congratulations
from all the Instructors & members of Chongshin Do. Future
