MASTER NICHOLLS VIII DEGREE SEMINAR
AND BLACK BELT GRADING
AT TEIGNMOUTH – SOUTH DEVON.
12th October 2013
A seminar by Master Trevor
Nicholls was held on the 12th October 2013 in Teignmouth, Devon, to
celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Teignbridge Taekwon-do, a school
started by Mr Peter Hilditch and son Mr Ross Hilditch in 2003.
Students from around the South
West of England were in attendance. Teignbridge TKD were happy to welcome
Richards TKD of Cornwall and South Hams Martial Arts, to name a few, including
a visit from Mrs Humphries.
After an intense warm-up,
Master Nicholls provided an informative and enjoyable session on front kicks,
snap kicks, downward and axe kicks, inward and outward vertical kicks. Both
from the front and rear standing leg, with a chance to try the various kicks on
pads and partners hands.
Students from grade 2 up to 5th
Degree took part in the seminar which was, to say the least energetic.
A short lunch break followed.
Then 12 students lined up for their Degree gradings. Five 1st Kups,
six 1st Degrees and one 2nd Degree. (Ages ranging from 13
– 48).
On completion of the grading
Master Nicholls congratulated all the Instructors on their integrity and openness,
as they could have graded their own students. He said that by UKITF attending
the grading, the benchmark of standards set were continued across the board and
recognised worldwide. In turn Master
Nicholls read everyones name out and congratulated all on their passes, and the
high standard maintained.
Later a presentation meal was
held in Chi, Kenton, which was attended by 51. Master Nicholls presented new
belts to 8 of the newly graded Degree students. Once again, friendships across
the different clubs were made and re-enforced.
Teignbridge Taekwon-do Schools
would like to thank Master Nicholls for his excellent seminar and for joining
us during the evening’s celebrations. We would also like to thank Mr Mark
Richards, Mrs Wendy Richards, Ms Lesley McGhie, Mr Peter Smith and their
students.
