Darren Hart Lakenheath

[KICKALOT]

i use to train under Darren Hart of Lakenheath years ago, i heard that he is getting his masters this year, is that right?

[psbn matt]

yes he gets his masters while in korea this october along with another 5 uk instructors

[KICKALOT]

who else is getting their masters degree?

[i don't care]

i think i am

[KICKALOT]

what you mean you think you are? do you not know if you got it or not before you go?

[davefly76]

sbn phillip hinchliffe is one of them. don't know the rest, sorry.

:)

[KICKALOT]

its good to see there will finaly be some decent masters promoting! So far QJN Watson and QJN Ives outshine all the others. The speed of Watson and his precision was unbelievable, much respect.

[KICKALOT]

whens the next tournament, might see if i can go have a look

[JKNEIEIOMMC]

The next comp is the UK Championships in Birmingham in the North Solihull Sports Centre on the 25th and 26th November.

[KICKALOT]

do they still do big demos at the end of the night? what are they like??

i use to think that some people were awsome and some just let the whole team down and makes the demo look sh*t

[davefly76]

this is only the second year that a uk tournament will be held in brummie land. there was a demo last year but it wasn't as large at the one held in norwich.

:)

[i don't care]

raaaawwwwww :woo:

[KICKALOT]

I heard the one in norwich was pretty cool, SBN Darren kicked an apple off a sword, must of been cool to see, I use to love watching him board break does he still do loads of boards?

[KenpoDavid]

Is that near Mildenhall? I went to the American High School at RAF Lakenheath back in the 80s and lived in a wide spot in the road known as Beck Row. I wonder what it is like there now, I bet it hasn't changed much.

[KICKALOT]

yeah mildenhall and lakenheath are side by side. did you train under Darren? havnt been to Beck Row in years wouldnt know sorry

[i don't care]

i've never been to any of darrens classes but i've seen him and he's the biggest man i've ever seen. he's like the hulk ha

[KICKALOT]

lol yeah he is a big fella, he was someting like 6ft 6 and weighed in at like 18stone or something but its all muscle, pretty cool. then again its not about size look at his partnet Master John Watson, hes small but man is he strong and fast

[baubin2]

These people are not in the UK, but SBN Jan Butler of Davenport, Iowa will be promoted to KJN in Korea, and KJN Frank D'Amato (I believe of California) will also be promoted a level, though I'm not as sure of that. I'm positive about SBN Butler though.

Where's that at? I only see the 1st-4th promotions.

[KSW_123]

I don't think they put past 4th on the promotions page. Look at

If that doesn't work go to the KukSoolWon tab on the top and then the masters tab on the side.

[Grippereeno]

Ha ha... SBN Darren was tellin us a funny story before the norwich tournamnet last year about some sparrin practice he and kjn John Watson had with a few guys on a beach in spain where KJN told SBN to "giv em the big toe"... he did and needless to say the two guys who got it and the guy who got wristlocked by KJN were sorry they asked to spar.....

[AirNick]

[KICKALOT]

LOL Omg! ((scene: white and yellow belts practicing their front kicks on pads))

SBN: " ... let me show you all the effectivness of a front kick. C.C. (that would be me) Tense up your stomach"

Me: O_O.... "Okay, yes sir." ::tenses up non-existent stomach muscles, completely unaware of what was in store::

SBN: "Okay, you ready? I'm not going to hit you hard. you should have more impact on the target."

Me: ^_^ Okay! I'm Ready!

SBN: ::kicks me with the dreaded big toe in the solar plexus::

CC: o.o................. ::no response:: ((trying not to look like a pansy))

SBN: o.O.... Did you feel that?

CC: O.<.... Yes.... Sir......

::SBN then goes about and teaches all of us the effectivness of the dreaded big toe::
((End of movie))

SBN hasn't done that in quite some time... to my relief! XD hee hee. SBN is more strong than he realizes I think.. ^.^'

[davefly76]

he he.

he did that to me in a grading once but from a round house kick. you've heard of the one inch punch, right? well this was a one inch kick, christ that hurt.

:)

[Mari]

O_O sounds painful!

Never experianced that one! lol and SBN has a lot of mercy on me when we spar! I feel like a lil kid trying to tag a hit on an adult when I go up against him! lol

[davefly76]

lol i think most people feel like that up against him. i love watching him perform at demo's. even watching him stretch his legs is amazing, it looks like they get even longer!
