Yesterday’s Black Belt Patterns Seminar, hosted by TSX Martial Arts and led by Master Jo Arsol, 8th Degree, was a great day and a huge success.

Throughout the seminar, we managed to cover every Black Belt pattern from Kwang-Gae through to Tong-Il—an incredible amount of technical knowledge and detail in one session.

We had an excellent turnout, including several 6th Degrees and Masters, whose experience and support also helped me continue learning my latest pattern, Tong-Il.

The session was hugely informative. Master Jo answered questions with exceptional knowledge and experience, clarifying a number of important technical points within some of the higher-degree patterns.

The quality of Master Jo’s teaching was clear throughout the day. His depth of knowledge, attention to detail and genuine passion for teaching were both inspiring and humbling to witness.

A huge thank you to Master Jo for sharing his time and expertise, and to everyone who attended and contributed to such a positive day of training.

📅 The next Black Belt Patterns Seminar with Master Jo will take place in May 2027.
