Tiger Tournament March 2010
21st March 2010 saw the inaugural Traditional Tang Soo Do Tigers Tournament. We intended the day to be an introduction to tournaments with competition events designed for students of a younger age. Above all we wanted the tournament to be fun. We had a bouncy castle, face painting, A magic show and balloon animals, we had Buzz Lightyear, Woody, The Red Ranger and a clown. The children performed brilliantly both in the competitions and in the organised activities: in particular the children's kicking in the jump front snap kick competition was awe inspiring...literally...these children are fearless....so a big thank you to all who took part we hope you had a great time.
As a Senior instructor with the Traditional Tang Soo Do Federation I would also like to thank all the instructors, Dan Grades and Senior Belts who came along and helped out with the running of this tournament. Without your hard work, commitment and patience this event simply would not have happened...It takes competent and reliable people to run an event of this size, especially when you take into account the ages of the competitors taking part. Special Thanks to Kyo Sa Rick Weston for his 'Balloon Animals' and Magic show the kids loved it. To Karl, Dan and Scott the costumed heroes who ran about all day keeping the little ones moving. To Carol Trudgill for the clowning around and for Mrs. Trudgill and helpers for the Face painting. I know if I start listing names I will leave someone out and I don't mean to....So once again Thank you all very much for all your hard work. Master Wayne Humphries Grandmaster Dominick Giacobbe
On March 15th, 16th and 17th Grandmaster Dominick Giacobbe visited the UK. The Traditional Tang Soo Do Federation were privileged to have this world renowned, experienced, dynamic and engaging Martial Artist consent to teach in three seminars for us. All who took part, regardless of rank, had a fantastic time and learnt a considerable amount about the practice of our Art. Grandmaster Giacobbe is president of the Intercontinental Tang Soo Do Organization through which he conducts seminars around the world on the traditional teachings of Tang Soo Do karate, philosophy, power meditation, Chi Breathing exercises and the Taoist meditation for healing. A direct student of Grandmaster Jae Chul Shin, Grandmaster Giacobbe, 8th Dan, began his training in Tang Soo Do in 1968. For several years, he also received special training from Grandmaster H. C. Hwang, son of the founder of Tang Soo Do, and Grandmaster C. S. Kim, founder of the International Tang Soo Do Federation. In 1977 he traveled to Korea in order to refine his art and undertake the study of the ancient techniques of mind power derived from internal Chi energy. The skills he developed through meditation and special breathing exercises set him apart as a martial artist.

British Tang Soo Do Federation Tournament
On Saturday 24th October 2009 Master John Trudgill, Founder and Chief Instructor of the Traditional Tang Soo Do Federation was inducted into the British Tang Soo Do "Hall of Fame" by Master John Dove. Master Trudgill has had a positive influence on the landscape of Tang Soo Do in the UK since the inception of this federation and all of us within the Traditional Tang Soo Do Federation are delighted to see Master Trudgill recognised with this honour. Master Trudgill instills in his students and Instructors a belief in the core values of training within a Traditional Martial Art and in the value of keeping the art faithful to to its origins....surely the true meaning of the term 'traditional'. It is this fundamental belief in the benefits of training in truly traditional martial art, coupled with a brilliant coaching ability that has enabled the Traditional Tang Soo Do Federation to grow in the dramatic way it has and to have had such an influence on Tang Soo Do in the United Kingdom. Congratulations Master Trudgill from all of us in the Traditional Tang Soo Do Federation. Master Wayne Humphries on behalf of all the Instructors and Students of the Traditional Tang Soo Do Federation.
On Saturday 24th October 2009 the Traditional Tang Soo Do Federation attended the British Tang Soo Do Federation annual Tournament in Rugby.

Congratulations to everyone who took part in this annual course to enable senior students to assistant instruct within classes.
