Reading Club:

A Masterpiece for the Masters
by Master Nazim Gokcezade (4th Duan)

21 December 2007

December 21st was our last lesson for 2007.

After the last lesson of the year we always have a Christmas party.

The lesson is light hearted but still with discipline. We split into three teams and with the adult Duan grades helping with the team events, which included forms, free fighting and endurance competitions.

All took part and as always it was full of fun. Unfortunately Master Korel was unable to be with us as he was working that evening. I asked one of my students Thomas Balmont if he could put on a show for us, as he is a first class juggler. He did not let us down, anything he could find he juggled with, even his boots.

Later on in the evening Adam Langer presented me with a model he had made for Master Korel and myself. This meant so much to us, as you can see, Adam put so much effort to produce this masterpiece and he has captured all my features.

We hope every one had a very good Christmas and you have a healthy and Happy New Year.
