MSBA Championships. November 2011

MSBA students at Open Championships in Livingston, November 2011.

 

MSBA held their 6th Open Championships in Livingston on Sunday 13th November.  A busy day for all with students travelling from as far as Nairn, Inverness, Inverurie as well as throughout the central belt and Ayrshire.

The competition went well with all students demonstrating the right spirit and attitude.  We are delighted for all msba students who attended the competition, by having the courage to test their skills against others they have shown what it takes to get Black Belt.

Congratulations to all students from MSBA Livingston, who entered 43 competitors and won 10 individual gold medals and retained the overall school title for the 3rd competition in a row :)  Keep up the great work.

I have always fancied giving martial arts a go, probably due to watching the original ’Karate Kid’ in my youth lol. So about 18 months ago I decided to take the plunge and try it. Haven’t looked back since! Really enjoy training, there’s a really good atmosphere in class, with a great bunch to train with and excellent instructors (Hope that’s me now passed my next grading lol)!! Joking aside, anyone who has thought about it should go for it. Best decision I’ve made is starting TKD!! :-)
