Where To Find What

In class I often direct students to certain websites where you can get various pieces of information to support your training at Ealing Choi Kwang-Do. I also have students and parents say that they are not always sure which website to go for which information.

So here's a short guide on where to go to find what you might be looking for.

1. Ealing CKD School Website

TheMartialArtForLife.com
This is the website for prospective students. It provides general information about our classes for people wanting to start Choi Kwang-Do and enables them to book an Introductory Lesson. Once you have joined the school it is unlikely you will visit this site very often.

2. Student Services Website

EalingCKD.co.uk
This website is designed to support existing students and families who attend Ealing Choi Kwang-Do. This is the website you will probably find the most helpful and visit the most often once you have joined the school.

Visit this site to:

- Learn how to tie your belt.
- View or download the Welcome Pack and Student Guide.
- Check important dates throughout the year (there's a Calendar at the bottom of each page).
- Check Black Belt Grading times.
- View or download issues of our bi-monthly class newsletter, Excellence.

3. Student Shop

TheMartialArtForLifeShop.com
At this website you can pay for Grading Fees plus purchase any required training equipment for use in class. Delivery is made to students in class.

Go to this website to:

- Pay Grading Fees online via credit/debit card or PayPal.
- Purchase Safety Equipment.
- Buy Choi Kwang-Do uniforms and T-Shirts.

4. The Official CKD Website

ChoiKwangDo.com
This is the official website for Choi Kwang-Do Martial Art International.

Visit this site to:

- Read up on news directly from Choi Kwang-Do HQ.
- View a list of all Choi Kwang-Do school across the world. You can search by country and postcode.
- Login to the member's area via the Student Login link. This is where you can access your Syllabus Sheet which contains everything you need to know for your current belt level plus all preceding belt levels.

You will need your Student ID and PIN to login which will have been sent in your welcome email when you first joined. If you have misplaced (or even deleted) it please contact me and I can resend it.

In addition to these 4 websites you can also connect with Ealing Choi Kwang-Do through social media:

Like us at facebook.com/EalingCKD
Follow us at twitter.com/EalingCKD
Watch on youtube.com/EalingCKD

...and lastly our mobile web app. To view updates from our Student Services Website (see website number 2 above) plus Facebook, Twitter and YouTube all in one place and conveniently on your mobile phone simply go to ealingckd.mobi on your mobile phone's web browser only - it will not work on a desktop browser. Or if you use a Nokia mobile phone you can install the app directly via the Nokia Store

We've Gone Mobile!

Do you have a mobile phone?

If you answered 'yes' to this question (which is highly likely nowadays) you can now keep up to date with news and events at Ealing Choi Kwang-Do via our new mobile web app.

We've mobilised all of our websites so you can now view updates on our blog posts, tweets on Twitter, Facebook Page updates and YouTube videos...all in one place and conveniently on your mobile phone. The best part is that you don't need any specific brand of phone - as long as your mobile phone enables you to access the internet through a web browser it should work*.

(Many thanks to those who have helped me to test this in the past few weeks).

To view the Ealing CKD mobile web app enter the following address on your mobile phone's web browser:

ealingckd.mobi

If you use a Nokia mobile phone you can install the app directly via the Nokia Store

*Ealing CKD mobile web app uses a small amount of internet data. Charges to use the internet vary depending on your mobile network and package, so please check before using.
