❗️Attention! Please read this important announcement in full. ❗️
We are inviting all Yin Yangers both past and present to come along to Matthew’s 1st degree black belt grading on
- Saturday 7th September at Paradise Point Community Centre from 8:30am -11:30am
It will be a very special grading, touched with some sadness. This grading will be Yin Yang's last in this location. After over 20 years of training at Paradise Point, Yin Yang has decided to close the doors on all Gold Coast operations.
After running for many years, under multiple Cheif Instructors, it is very sad to announce that the club will be closing the dojang and all training at Paradise Point.
This is especially sad for the long standing Instructors of the club, Instructor Min, Instructor Ed, Instructor John and namely Instructor Chris , who is Yin Yang's longest serving member. In fact, Instructor Chris is more Yin Yang than Yin Yang itself!
We would like to invite all students/ Instructors to come along, cheer on Matthew, honour Instructor Chris for his service to his community and say farewell to an era.
Let's all be part of making this last grading special.
Tell any past/present students you have connections with to grab their dobok and/ or Belt ( it doesn't matter if its ITF / WTF) and come down for one final chance to 'pay respect'. If you've outgrown your dobok, or you never had one but participated at family, come along in casuals. We have all loved this club, its students and Instructors. Please take the time to make this last lesson something to remember.
It is deeply important to us all to honour the people who have invested so much of their time and effort into others with dedication, passion, and encouragement. We encourage you to stop, reflect and respond thoughtfully.
We understand this is sudden and short notice. If you are unable to attend, feel free to post comments/ memories and photos below.
Hope to see you there.
Tae Kwon!
