Warrior Taekwon-Do News: 25 August

Dear Members,

This week we feature Warrior instructor, Mr Matthew Chan (pictured winning the gold medal in special technique at the 2011 Junior World Championships).

Staff Profile - Mr Matthew Chan
Matthew Chan started training in 2006 and earned his 1st degree black belt in 2010. In 2011 he represented New Zealand at the 2011 Junior World Championships, winning gold in individual patterns and special technique and two silvers in team events. No surprise, then, that his favourite disciplines are patterns and special technique! Mr Chan loves motivating and inspiring people to achieve more than they dreamed that they could. He is currently studying mechatronics engineering at university.

Mr Chan teaches Taekwon-Do on Fridays afternoons and assists the Monday and Wednesday mini kids classes.

Entries Are Open for "Camp Awesome" 
Are you keen for your kids to have heaps of fun, be inspired and learn from some incredible guest instructors? Entries have now opened for the long anticipated Auckland North Regional Kids Camp themed "Camp Awesome"! The camp is from 10-12 October and almost always sells out because it is just so good - so get your application form and payment into the organisers ASAP to secure a spot for your child. We already have some Warrior kids signed up for the camp already! Application form here or pick one up from the noticeboard.

Taekwon-Do News From Around the World
The latest "Taekwon-Do Generation" online magazine is now out. This is the international magazine for ITF practitioners from all corners of the world. Check out page 98 for the interview with Master McPhail about Taekwon-Do in New Zealand.

Important Letters
Last week we began distributing some very important letters for most of our members outlining some membership changes which come into force from October. If you weren't at training last week there will be one for you this week. If you have a child training at Warrior, please make sure you ask for the letter from your child.

Have a great training week!


Best wishes,


Rachel Bates
Manager
