Today was a very good day for Choi Kwang Do in Hampshire. A full time facility has been created by Mr Evans who runs
ChoiKwangDo4Health it is in the space above ASDA at West end. As with all Choi it is very much a shared family location.
Today was the official opening and the Mayor came along and cut the ribbon as part of a general open day. Lots of photos were taken but not by me as these doboks don't have pockets.
We all took some time today to reach out to the local community, handing out leaflets for the open day and explaining the family nature of Choi Kwang Do.
The rest of the time was spent in the Dojang helping new people get a bit of a go at some Choi Techniques on with us and with various pieces of equipment. There were lots of visitors of all ages which was great.
There were also a lot of people from the wider Choi family visiting from all over the country so it was a really fun day.
The predlets had a great day too. Predlet 1.0 in particular was enjoying battering BOB.
The wavemaster was also set up to for a little bit of fun too. A sensor counts hits so we had a play.
I thought I had shot more video but apologies to Mr Keens as I only took a still of his super speedy go on the kit.
However I did video Mr Close (and he also grabbed my iphone and videoed my slightly rough around the edges attempt) and I thought I would try the iphone version of imovie to edit it up for a bit of fun.
Mr Close is a brown belt senior, next step blackbelt. I am orange senior not quite half way :) We all work to our own levels in Choi.
What a very rewarding and fun day to round of the week.
Tomorrow there are black belt gradings at the Dojang. Good luck to everyone
Pil Seung!
