Last weekend we saw a post on Facebook from the mum of one of our junior students. This is what it said.. I have had a private text from school asking me to attend assembly tomorrow and not to say anything to Alex….. Can’t help thinking whats he done or not done?! Sounds ominous, but […]
Every time you say you ‘can’t’ do something you’ll tend to believe yourself… Your subconscious will interpret it as a definite CAN NOT BE DONE, which is incredibly debilitating as it will stop you from even trying.. Think just how much more powerful it is when you switch that around to ‘how can I?’ instead. […]
Who do you want looking after your children’s character development, a full-time professional with specialist training in children’s development, or a plumber/salesman/office worker that does a bit of teaching part-time? Remember we are talking about introducing an adult into your children’s life that can potentially have a massive influence on their future. Don‘t leave it to […]
When we first met Dillon he was really shy, and you’d be lucky to get a few words out of him even if you asked a direct question. How amazing then to see him a few years later where he stood up in front of his whole school and gave a 20 minute presentation about […]
It’s January 15th, which is the day that is thought of as the ‘cut off’ day when most people have already given up on their New-Years resolutions, and if like most of those people you’d really like this year to be different, this post is for you! Below you’ll find a great video from Tony […]

When that happens it’s easy to feel a bit ‘out of the loop’ and though it really shouldn’t be a problem, sometimes our subconscious takes over and starts playing silly games with your confidence, and it seems to get harder and […]
Hey team, Wow, the past year has flown by, it doesn’t seem like five minutes ago I was writing ‘happy new year’. Did you make any goals last year? Maybe you set some new years resolutions. If you did, did you stick to them? I’m guessing for a large group of us probably not, but […]
.. that’s a pretty bold title I suppose, but it’s true. If there is one simple secret to success in the Martial Arts it’s this. I’m sure we’ve all heard the saying that goes: “A black belt is a white belt that never quit”.That’s a great way to summarise a major key to success in the […]
Last weekend, a group of Ilyokwan students travelled up to Nottingham for the Guild of Independant Martial Arts (GIMA) conference weekend. The weekend proved to be a double celebration as Master Olpin was presented with two awards: GIMA Instructor of the Year 2013, and a promotion to 6th Degree Black Belt! I’d like to take a […]
