I dodged, I weaved, I ran and I swerved, but I just couldn't avoid being tagged by Geoff . Actually, the fact I wasn't tagged earlier makes me remember those times at school on the oval when I got picked last (or near last) for the teams. BTW, that isn...
Given my impending fatherhood, there have to be changes and sacrifices. I have been instructing beginners and intermediates at Taekwondo for about a year and a half. Tonight was the last night for me as an instructor so I have to give up the cool "go...
I did a grading on the weekend with a few other students of my Taekwondo club. We started with some kicking and punching for a warm-up. The two beginners who were grading displayed their patterns. Myself and two other red belts then did the advanced patterns...
It has been quite a while since my last grading as I have spent this year focusing on the club and the students along with the other instructors. I was keen to move forward again, so my head instructor told me two weeks ago that I would be doing a triple...
I haven't done much training this year. We were in New Zealand for January, and for the last two months, I have helped with instructing on many of the nights that I would normally train. This has been because I was either a little sick and couldn't train...
I have been learning lots of new things at Taekwondo over the last couple of months. The pace has really picked up as well so it is quite a workout . To progress from blue belt (1 tip) to purple belt, I have had to learn three patterns/poomse and lots...
We have been picking up the pace at our Taekwondo club recently. It has been really good getting into a more solid workout. I have been amazed at the amount of fluid I have to drink. This week, I have been going through almost 2 litres of Gatorade in...

is a job worth doing well. I am not sure if I have done the job well or not, but the result is a lot of pain. I rolled my ankle quite badly at Taekwondo last night. Hurts a lot.
Last night we had another holiday Taekwondo session that was very similar to last week. We did circuit training instead of our normal program. When we do these crazy fitness sessions, I can't help but think along these lines: At the end of this, I will...
Holiday Taekwondo (as in the stuff we do during school holidays) is a little different to normal. For example, rather than focusing on Taekwondo, we do more fitness and self-defense techniques than we would normally do. On Tuesday night, we did a massive...
The week before last, I was at my normal Taekwondo class where the head instructor was unfortunately sick. As our other instructor was finishing an introductory lesson with a new student, I had to take the class. I have been instructor for about six weeks...
My wife and I started doing TaeKwonDo about six months ago and it has been a lot of fun doing it together. After only three weeks, we were able to do a triple grading to take us from White belt to Orange three tip. Since then we have done a double grading...
