Warriors Get Master Instruction
by admin on Aug.19, 2011, under News
Warrior Tae Kwon Do instructors Dan O’Mahony and Barry O’Mahony are currently training to test for promotion to 5th and 4th Dan respectively.
In preparation for the tests, which will take place in November of this year, both instructors have travelled abroad to try and glean as much knowledge as they can from some of the art’s top practitioners.
Dan travelled to Worcester, England in April this year to train with Warrior Tae Kwon Do’s Black Belt Examiner, Master Clive Harrison. Master Harrison took Dan through a wide range of techniques and patterns, giving invaluable advice to the Warrior TKD President. As always, Master Harrison was an outstanding host and made Dan feel very welcome at all times.
In June, Barry travelled to New York to attend the Tae Kwon Do International annual seminar, led by Grandmaster Suk Jun Kim. During the 3 days of training, Barry benefited from a seminar by Master James Marr on how to improve as an instructor, technique and pattern instruction from Grandmaster Kim and Master John Meany and a Hapkido class by Grandmaster Lee. As well as learning plenty about Tae Kwon Do and the various interpretations and styles of the art that are practised around the world, this was a great opportunity to meet many other practitioners of TKD and form new friendships.
We would like to thank all of our friends in other schools both at home and abroad for affording us the opportunity to train with you and attend your events over the years, we are truly grateful.
