Yamoussoukro Tong Il Moo Do Club was started by one of our blue belt student called Clovis who went to live and study in that city a few months ago. It consists of 20 students mainly the youth from various schools in the city.
After 4 months of training he presented five of them for grading.
The 15th of April 2006 was day of grading and the venue was Yamoussoukro education center
The started at 4:30 PM and ended at 7:30 PM the impression was that the athletes were very well prepared both internally and externally and this made it easier for the grading.
The basic techniques were precise and the forms were smoothly performed. The internal aspect was also Good and rich.
All the five got yellow belts the conclusion is that though it is a very young club the athletes are very motivated and want to learn more about the philosophy of Tong Il Moo Do.
I give a word of encouragement to the instructor and also the students reminding them of the founder's vision of tong Il Moo Do and their responsibilities. They were all happy to have moved a grade higher and pledge to train more to achieve unity between mind and body
The grading was conducted by Tokou Jean Marc a Tong Il Moo Do Brown belt instructor from Abidjan.
