As the year draws to an end, it is a good time to reflect on all of our accomplishments and victories especially for this rollercoaster of a year. While the martial arts industry has been hit hard during this pandemic, we are proud to share that Cambridge Tang Soo Do has thrived in 2021 and it is in no small part due to all our collective efforts. Even though we could not attend our yearly Black Belt retreat nor the regional competition, we have accomplished quite a lot:
- We welcomed 13 new students to our school
- We promoted 8 gups to the rank of Cho-Dan
- We promoted 5 students to 2nd and 3rd degree Black Belt
- We had 11 students from CTSD attend the Master’s Clinic.
I am very grateful for everybody’s contribution and support in these extraordinary times. Practicing Tang Soo Do over Zoom is not easy and I admire everyone’s dedication and perseverance as we struggle to maintain our training. I commend all the instructors for their dedication and focus and for finding new ways to teach classes in this virtual environment we live in. It is clear that as a TEAM, we were able to accomplish some great things. The old saying (TEAM), “together, everyone achieves more”, is surely true in this case. I look forward to the year 2022, when we’ll have the opportunity to go back to in person training. Hang in there, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
