On behalf of Montrose School of TaeKwon-Do, I would like to warmly congratulate Master Mark Hutton, on his promotion to VIIth Degree Master, achieved at the recent International Instructors Course in Benidorm, Spain on Saturday 26th September 2009.
Master Hutton and I have a long history together, having started training in TaeKwon-Do at roughly the same time, in 1981/2, when we were part of the UKTA under Grand Master Rhee Ki Ha IX Degree. We were also both founder members of the UKTF back in 1987.
Since then we have both moved along our different paths in TaeKwon-Do, but have always keep up our contact and good friendship. Mr Mark Boydell IV deg, Mr Gary Ingram II and I were privileged enough to attend a seminar on 1 March 2009, hosted by Grand Master Rhee Ki Ha IX deg OCM, at Master Hutton’s school in East Kilbride. More recently, on 23 March 2009, Montrose School was privileged to have (at that time) Mr Hutton VI deg attend an excellent seminar which also included Master Sutherland, Master Thompson and Master Wallace.
It is therefore with hand on heart and great fondness, that I congratulate my good friend on his promotion. It is thoroughly deserved, and considering the journey has taken the better part of 30 years to achieve, an inspiration to all (including myself) who train in TaeKwon-Do.
Congratulations also go to TKD Scotland, as the addition of another VII deg Master in their ranks can only enhance their standing, and add to the prestige of their association.
Mr David McNairn VI Degree
