TKD-Baden-Mitglieder trainieren mit TKD Pionier der 1. Stunde
posted by sg at 07:18:18 30.04.2012
On the weekend of April 20-22 TKD-Schweiz head instructor Peter Regan and Assistant Instructor Brian Cox travelled to Cork, Ireland, to attend a 3 day International Instructors' course with TKD Pioneer Hwang Kwang Sung (IX). Grandmaster Hwang was one of the first three people in ITF Taekwon-Do history to be promoted to 9th degree by General Choi Hong Hi. Originally from what is now South Korea, Grandmaster Hwang learned TKD in the Korean army, but has lived and taught Taekwon-Do in the United States since 1971. After many years as a special assistant to General Choi, GM Hwang has now dedicated himself to teaching and preserving Taekwon-Do techniques exactly as General Choi created them. The seminar was very well attended with over 100 members, nearly all of which were black belts. Sabum-nim Regan and Boosabum-nim Cox had many opportunities to demonstrate their techniques and receive corrections from one of the most experienced Taekwon-Do teachers in the world. For photos of the seminar, visit our gallery.

Erfolgreiches Seminar: 20 bestandene Prüfungen
posted by sg at 20:09:42 11.03.2012
| The Grandmaster Hwang Seminar this weekend was a great succes. Training was different from what we were used to with him, but a lot of fun: lots of combinations and partner exercises, very hard training. It was good conditioning, too - most of us ended up with a bunch of bruises. 19 colour belts passed their exams with the Grandmaster, the highest of which was that of Nicole Guggisberg, who is now a red stripe. The highlight was Boosabum Chris Kitulagoda's 2nd dan exam. We would like to congratulate all of the students on their performance and want to thank those who contributed snacks to our Apéro. Photos of the event can be found in the gallery. If you have more photos you would like to share with us, please contact Sandra Guggisberg. |
