Black Belt/Tip Training Weekend 26-28 March

Hi All

Hope everyone is doing the sunshine dance now, to drive this rain away.

The venue is Point Wolstoncroft Sport & Rec Centre, Kanangra Dr, Gwandalan 

The schedule for Friday is;

  • Registration from 5pm 
  • Dinner at 6:30pm

What to bring

Shin guards, gloves and mouth guards if you have them.

Bring weapons, especially swords and poles 

The majority of you paid for the instructor certificate registration option which included payment for your new accreditation, which will last for 3 years. Anyone who paid for the training weekend only is welcome to upgrade that for an additional fee of $60, payable at the event. Cash or credit card payment. Those who renewed their instructor accreditation in March 2019 (the last course run) have the option of adding 2 years to their remaining 12 months for $30. 

Saturday and Sunday morning programs start at 6.30am – attendance is required by all, no exceptions.

Black Belt Training 2021

Black Belt training has been scheduled for the last Sunday of each month, from 8:30-10:30am.

First training session for 2021 is on Sunday 28 February

Held at Northern Beaches Dojang, Unit H, 134-140 Old Pittwater Road, Brookvale.

Cost for each session $25 payable at the time of class.

Similar to last year, we will be hosting various of our senior Instructors each month to impart their knowledge in specific aspects of Hapkido. We will begin in February with Master Geister teaching, who will use this session to get through some of the Black Belt Syllabus to  get an indication of where everyone is at regarding their training.

COVID class restrictions are limited at 25, book in early so you do not miss out. www.revolutionise.com.au/aha/classes/20715/ 

This is your chance to train with higher level Black Belts, and learn from each other to take back to your own schools. I highly recommend you put the dates in your Calendars one year in advance, and try and plan your social life to try and incorporate these sessions into your monthly schedule.

Instructors and the planned content for each session will be available soon.

Looking forward to seeing you all on the mats
