FREE Forms training with Master Poplett (4th Dan)

Posted on: January 19th, 2021 by David Finch

Free Online Forms Training with Master Poplett (4th Dan):

APRIL SEMINAR & PRE-SEMINAR SESSIONS:
💥 This is an open invitation to all instructors and students who are interested in improving or learning forms regardless of their belt level. 

💥 The seminar in April will last four hours and will cover all forms up to Sipjin should we need to go that high.

💥 Please know that during this seminar Master Poplett won’t be teaching the moves of each form but rather looking at the technique and finer details.

To make sure we are all up to speed, Master Poplett will be holding a two hour session every other Sunday between the 24th January and the 18th April. In each session she will be working on two forms so, if you wish to learn a new form or need to recap on ones you’ve done before, please attend thus maximising our time during the seminar.

The seminar will start off with Form 1 and then we will work our way up from there. Once all the forms you know have been covered, if you wish to, you may sign out. However all are welcome to follow the seminar until the end.

Dates are as follows:

Lead up Sessions – 10:00-12:00
24th January – Form 1 & 2
7th February – Form 3 & 4
21st February – Recap of previous Forms & Keumgang
7th March – Taebaek & Koryo
21st March – Pyongwon & Sipjin


4th April – Easter Sunday so there will be no training.

Seminar – 10:00-14:00
18th April – All Forms in detail
(Remember, you may leave once all your forms are covered)

If you wish to attend some / all of the FREE sessions please email me and I will send you the Zoom code.

Classes are back online only – January timetable

Posted on: January 3rd, 2021 by David Finch

Confirmation of classes – ONLINE ONLY from 5th Jan 2021

Due to the recent Government guidance under Tier 4 all of our classes will resume as normal online.

As we did in November 2020, the online timetable will be exactly the same as our face-to-face timetable using the same Zoom login details as before.

** You do not need to book in for online classes **

We will return to face-to-face classes once we are moved back into tier 3 and the guidance suggests it is safe to do so.  In the meantime, clear the floor space, iron the uniform and bring your energy as we have lots to do!

CLASSES START from Tuesday, 5th January 2021

WHERE IS THE ONLINE TIMETABLE? You can view the timetable (and Zoom login code) on either:

  1. School WhatsApp group
  2. School Facebook page
  3. Members Facebook group page
  4. Logging into this website

How many classes may I attend online in a week?

If your membership allows you to attend 1 x face-to-face class/week = 2 x online classes per week

If your membership allows you to attend 2+ x face-to-face class/week = unlimited online classes per week

 

Happy New Year & Welcome Back

Posted on: January 3rd, 2021 by David Finch
Happy New Year and welcome back to all our wonderful MF Kent families and friends.
A new year is upon us and with the same determination, patience and focus we will ensure 2021 is another success.
2020 was certainly a very challenging year and although the first few months of 2021 may seem uncertain, I am very confident that the next 12-mths will be more positive and even more rewarding than the last.
Whether online or, when the situation permits, face-to-face, myself and the team very much look forward to seeing you all again very soon; helping you all to achieve your goals and taking you through the new and exciting syllabus.
See you soon!
Master Finch
