For most people, December marks the end of a chapter as a new one begins and this is no exception for the students and family of Tam Taekwon-Do Mudokwan.
On Sunday 8th December, the final grading of the decade took place at Auburn Youth Centre. This was also the first grading since Grandmaster Tam’s promotion to the esteemed level of 9th Dan black belt. The day was not only an opportunity for students to showcase the skills that they have learned in classes, but it was also a day to celebrate the hard work of students and instructors, and the efforts of family members who continue to be TTM students’ biggest supporters.
The morning commenced with the grading of black belts then colour belts, with each student demonstrating their knowledge of Taekwon-Do skills in pattern, self-defence and sparring, as well as their theoretical knowledge. The grading concluded with breaking from red belt black tips who all did an outstanding job at breaking a number of boards with a large crowd eagerly watching at the sidelines. After grading, students performed demonstrations of self-defence and breaking, exhibiting their hard work and outstanding skills. This was performed by students from Burwood dojang; Ethan Li, Tanya Liu, Alysha & Ashly Chau and Chloe Liu. This was followed by an exciting demonstration of board and tile breaking by the black belts – Sabum Jacek Leszczynski, Boosabum Amanda Lokanadan, Boosabum Roman Myaskovetskiy, Samantha Tam, Chris Lai, Richard Chan, Jeremy Dang and Jawaad Hage. Grandmaster Tam even broke some tiles too, performing a turning kick using the shins to shatter the tiles in his suit! Not only did he make the demolition of tiles look like a walk in the park but he also managed to keep his suit immaculate!
The demonstrations were followed by an award ceremony to celebrate exceptional individuals for their consistency and dedication to Taekwon-Do throughout the year. Congratulations to all of the recipients! The day was wrapped up with a big Taekwon-Do family photo and a hearty luncheon was enjoyed by everyone in attendance. A big thank you to the parents, who brought food to the luncheon, for making the day memorable (and delicious). Undoubtedly, there were no empty stomachs leaving Auburn Youth Centre that afternoon.
This was one of the biggest grading with 104 students being graded in a single day. And this was no easy grading; these students were graded by GM Tam and Sabum Mayumi themselves, so they were sure to have had a tough examination! Taekwon-Do is not something that just happens every few months at a grading. It is an ongoing commitment that requires unwavering, hard work. Each student’s involvement is an important contribution to the high standard TTM holds, whether it is through helping out classmates with their techniques, taking your kids to lessons even after a long day at work, or cheering for your friends at tournaments!
Finally, thank you to Grandmaster Tam. Your passion for Taekwon-Do is inspiring and what a privilege it is to be trained by you! Thank you for everything that you do, during and outside of training hours. We hope you get enough rest before the New Year begins.
Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday. We look forward to seeing you back at TTM for an even more exciting year in 2020!
-Wendy Song and Izumi Tam
