I’ve had the most amazing weekend and have so much to write about its difficult to find where to start, but here goes.

Following Wednesday’s testing for Jyo Kyo Nim (1st degree black belt) I went up to Kings Lynn with Helen to practice for Saturday evenings Kuk Sool Won Masters Exhibition. It was the first time I was to wear my new Generals Uniform, and I have to be honest, I was more than a little bit nervous.  However, I needn’t have been, as soon as I saw my fellow students, instructors and friends, all my nerves want away and were quickly replaced by excitement, pride, and happiness.

After a while the demo team were called to the arena floor to be introduced to their respective instructors, who would be arranging our section of the Demo. SBN Chris French took us through our routine, Ki Cho Hyung (form) and 4 Joo Muhk Maga Ki Bohn Soo (techniques).

I was a long day, and I was really surprised just how hot you get wearing the Generals’ uniform, I was dripping by the end of the day and looking forward to a shower. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, I loved every bit. I’m so pleased that I decided to take part (thank you Helen) as it was something I’d never be able to experience again.

Here are loads of pictures just from Fridays demo practice, If there are any you’d like copies of just ask.
