Taekwondo

So glad I found this page. I used to go with my brother's Roger and Steve Green- when he was on leave. Had some really good chats with other regulars in there. Sunday nights was Gossips because they stayed open an extra half hour or so.

Hi We are looking around for suitable premises to run a number of training courses in Sheffield. Any ideas?

I don't mind giving it a read, send it over via PM

Have a look at event medics and that sort of thing. Some of the bigger ones have ambulances.

I was browsing the internet and found a website that sells electrical PAT testing equipment. I mentioned it to a few friends who say you can do PAT testing yourself and you don't need to be a qualified electrician. Anyone know if this true?

Why not pop down and burn of some energy and have a go at martial arts? We are at the venue every Monday from 6:00 until 7:30. The main style is Taekwondo but not the stuff you see at he Olympics. Our focus is on realistic self defence that does work. First lesson is free so you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. (We will be having Easter Monday off) The Venue 650 Manchester Road Stocksbridge Sheffield S36 1DY (I noticed the typo but can't find a way to edit it) ---------- Post added 25-03-2016 at 20:34 ---------- Happy Easter everyone have a great weekend.

They should have given you a copy of the contract to take home, also if you didn't want the VIP package a credible company would refund you, minus the lessons already taken. I will say that these type of contracts are notoriously difficult to escape or get a refund from although you could argue that you were misled into signing, which is a criminal offence!

Anyone selling or giving away baby rabbits in the Sheffield area. Can wait if they are not ready yet. Thanks

Lots to pick from on this website: http://www.sheffieldhelpyourself.org.uk/keyword_search.asp?keyword=VENUES+FOR+HIRE

Hi If it helps at all: The TAGB are members of the governing body for Taekwondo in the Uk - The British Taekwondo Council - and are very well respected. Sparring is semi contact as opposed to full contact WTF Olympic style. In terms of cost: My advise, with any martial art, would be not to sign any contract that binds you to that club for any length of time. Pay as you train or pay monthly.

Just out of a matter of interest, Meroveus did you do your Taekwondo training under the White Rose/MST banner? Malcom Siddal? If so I would question your credentials. He was not then, nor is now, under the National Governing Body for TKD. Unless you count the one he made up.

I have had some experience with the instructor of ABC combat and can honestly say he is a very good instructor with a lot of knowledge. He teaches with a no BS approach, is honest and I would recommend him to anyone.

Hi, you don't mention the title of your book and the link only takes you to Amazon, not your book page. I would love to read it

Hi stevekay1 My novel "Only Bloody Lovely" is set in Sheffield. See link below. It had very good reviews in a local magazine called Your Voice and as a result I was invited onto the Roni Robinson show. Sadly my only claim to slight fame. If your are interested I can send you a digital copy.

Jeddo: Hi. 183,000 words and still going will be a thick book, and could work out very expensive to print and make it unattractive to potential buyers. However if this is the route you chose then there are lots of Print on Demand - some call them vanity printers - you could chose from. You only pay for the books you order and you get a free ISBN number which is essential for all material books. On the plus side you don't have to worry about anything they just pay you every month. The down side is that you don't make a great % and the book is expensive. The other route is to publish through Kindle. It's free and you get up to 70% of the profit. Their website is reasonably easy to navigate and you could have your book on the market within a few hours. Below are the ones I use, here are others out there. Completely novel are good but they charge a monthly fee https://kdp.amazon.com/ https://www.createspace.com/ https://lulu.com/

Don't forget Taekwondo tonight at the Venue from 6:00pm. Would be great to see more ladies joining in with our other new female students, but males are welcome as well. First lesson is free and only £4 thereafter It's not all about fighting...

Finally, I published my book. Only Bloody Lovely A moving story about surviving life and all its setbacks... Along with 9/11, Only Bloody Lovely provides an evocative account of major events that have occurred in the `Steel City' of Sheffield over the last 70 years or so. The narrative notes the complex interplay between life events and the resultant impact on individuals and their significant others. It's Written in plain English, and with gallows humour aplenty, it illuminates the emotional ties that bind people together. It serves well as both a work on post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression and as a form of social history. The author, Simon Green was recently featured on BBC's radio Sheffield (Rony Robinson's My life so far) and was interviewed for 'Your voice' magazine. Both gave favourable comments about this book.

Well here it is; my first attempt at self-publishing. My book, titled ‘Only Bloody Lovely’ is set in Sheffield. Starting during the war it follows the life of a local family. Great weekend read and it won’t cost you an arm–and– a–leg. I know I’m asking for trouble, but I would love to hear what you think of the cover and blurb. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HTQ5TDQ Also, I would love to hear from anyone else who is thinking about self-publishing their own work
