What a beautiful way to wrap up the year! It was truly heartwarming to bring as many of us together as possible for our end-of-year Christmas party. Reflecting on this past year fills me with gratitude—so much positivity, growth, and unwavering support from each of you.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to all our incredible members. Your kindness in the form of thoughtful cards, generous gifts, and your constant encouragement means more than words can express. Every effort you’ve made—big or small—has played a part in the success of our community, and none of it goes unnoticed.

As the year draws to a close, I want to acknowledge the remarkable progress you’ve all made. Your commitment, hard work, and dedication have paid off in ways that make me immensely proud. Please take this time to rest, recharge, and reflect on all that you’ve achieved.

Learning the Original ITF Taekwon-Do is not an easy path—it’s one of resilience, growth, and understanding. But as you progress, your passion and excitement grow stronger, shaping you not only as martial artists but as people who embody the values of perseverance, humility, and positivity.

I am deeply proud of each and every one of you. Together, we are more than a club; we are a family—a strong, supportive Taekwon-Do community. While there may be those who don’t understand or who try to disrupt the positive energy we’ve built, we remain united by our shared love of Taekwon-Do and our desire to learn, grow, and succeed together.

I can’t wait to see what 2025 holds for all of you and to celebrate the continued achievements of this amazing group. Thank you for making this year unforgettable, and I’ll see you soon as we embark on another exciting chapter together.

Enjoy the break—you’ve earned it! Stay strong, stay positive, and never stop learning.

Warmest regards,

Ben Evans
