Dear Students and Friends,
I hope you had a great summer and are well rested.
The next training term starts this Sunday the 1st of September at Hendon and we have some exciting announcements.
New Instructors
Over the next few months you will notice different instructors taking classes. The following students recently returned from a week’s intensive training and instructor coaching in Israel with Haim Zut himself:
David Hall | Joy Canter |
Ewa Habera | Lumi Cobillas |
Jade Okuyiga | Paul Cline |
Jody Myers | Paul Crowther |
Josh Ettinger | Richard Forman |
I’m very proud to announce that they all passed the test with flying colours. Not only have they been approved by the Haim Zut Professional Committee to teach at varying levels but they have also been certified by the Wingate Institute, Israel’s governing body for physical education and sports.
The addition of the next generation of instructors means great things for us as an organisation, keep an eye out for new classes, locations and specialist seminars in the very near future. Please join me in congratulating the guys and show your support while they settle into their new roles in the Federation.
