This week is going to be a busy one, I have gradings Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evening, plus Thursday we have a British tae kwon do council meeting in the daytime, where there will be an election of a new chairman of which I am involved, then Thursday its the TAGB AGM, then of course we have the little matter of the black belt grading at the Bristol academy on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The committee want to wish all those grading the best of luck, make sure your uniform is clean and pressed and that your sparring equipment is not torn, ripped or taped up. I will all those grading with the following thought: I am not judged by the number of times I fail, but the number of times I succeed; and the number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I can fail and keep trying'
