Giru HwaRangdo recently held a day of training and grading, inviting Grand Master Myung Man Kim to the region.
Students gathered in Giru on Sunday, November 12 for a day involving the grading of students in front of Grand Master Kim, Head Instructor Zoe Hughes and two senior instructors, Jay and Jack.
A 3-hour training session then followed for all students and instructors.
Students ranged from ages five to 70+ years old.
Two students, Nakita and Robin, were presented with 1st Dan black belts and certificates.
“Congratulations Robin and Nakita, excellent achievement,” said Ms Hughes, who is Head Instructor for Giru, Woodstock and Cungulla students.
Grand Master Kim, based in Sydney, brought Hwa Rang Do to Australia 49 years ago from Korea.
Hwa Rang Do is a Korean Martial Art System with modern style and ancient roots built on the foundations of Chang Moo Kwan, Taekwondo and the spirit of the Hwarang Warrior.
“He (Grand Master Kim) is an amazing person, that teaches us wisdom, encouragement and determination,” said Ms Hughes.
“A picture of wisdom, strength and never quitting at any age.
“You are never too old and it's never too late.
“You can achieve anything with the right mind set.”
Giru HwaRangdo train in Giru on Mondays and Woodstock on Tuesdays.
